Trump Chose to Be Silent on Kavanaugh
The president’s evident restraint at a rally in Minnesota seemed the surest indication of just how close the vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh could be.
Forty minutes into Thursday night’s “Make America Great Again” rally in Minnesota, after all the claims of historic greatness, the ritual chanting (“Drain the swamp”), the harping about “fake news,” and the gratuitous insults hurled at Congresswoman Maxine Waters, it was pretty clear President Trump simply wasn’t going there.
He wended his oratorical way several times to the “radical Democrats”,” he said at one point early on in the rally. But he quickly moved on to how the Democrats want to cripple law enforcement and get rid of , as though he’d been beseeched by his aides (and no doubt Mitch McConnell) not to mention Kavanaugh’s name at all and it just slipped out.
