The Houston Chronicle reported that Rylander also retweeted another that read, “Judge Kavanaugh now being accused of kicking his mother several times … while in the womb.”

Both tweets were composed by Mark Simone, a conservative New York radio host. Rylander deleted the tweet about Kavanaugh "kicking his mother" on Monday afternoon. But the other tweet mocking the sexual assault allegation was still on his account as of Tuesday morning.

Rylander did not return requests for comment from the Houston Chronicle, and his office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

The tweets Rylander shared come as Kavanaugh faces increasing scrutiny regarding a sexual misconduct allegation brought against him.

Christine Blasey Ford, a California psychology professor, came forward publicly to The Washington Post on Sunday and detailed her allegations against Kavanaugh for the first time.

Ford is accusing Kavanaugh of pinning her to a bed at a party while they were in high school in the 1980s and groping "her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it."

Kavanaugh has fiercely denied the accusation, but the charge led many senators to voice concern about his confirmation vote taking place before they hear from his accuser.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced on Monday that Kavanaugh and Ford would testify before the committee next Monday.
