Discussion: Heller Backtracks After Calling Kavanaugh Assault Allegations A 'Hiccup'

Calling a serious allegation Alleged Attempted Rape involving a nominee for the highest court of the land a ā€œhiccupā€ is already bad. The way he backtracked his comment just makes it even worse.

Moron. I hope Rosen will destroy that sleaze.

edit: I endorse @pmaroneyb’s fix.

Heller is in a bad place.
He’ll have to continue to do some vile things.
He can’t even do evil properly.

Everybody knows what you meant, Heller. Maybe, after November, Sheldon Adelson can get you a job as a greeter in one of his casinos. You’ve got that ā€œused car salesmanā€ look that would play perfectly in Vegas.

This is the guy in March of 2017 who tried pretending that everything was A-OK at one of his town halls when the people were screamng for him to answer one of the many questions he dodged on healthcare. He was grinning like a serial killer trying to show the judge who had just given him life in prison that it didn’t bother him.

I haven’t seen Heller on tv, etc. He always seems to get things even more wrong than seems possible but I wonder how he comes across.
Very subjective question: does he seem comfortable in his own skin? If not, then I’d bet he’s circling the drain.

I was referring to how poorly the Democrats have handled this process and the fact that the Democrats have not worked with the Judiciary Committee Chairman in good faith

Republicans wouldn’t know good faith if it came up and punched them in the throat. Here’s a hint guys it doesn’t mean constantly kissing the evangelical derierre.

Oh. Okay. It’s the Democrats who are the bad faith actors. Glad we cleared that up.

Hiccup? I think you are referring to your career as a U.S. Senator.

…I do not believe sexual assault allegations of any kind are a hiccup…

Too late, your real beliefs kind of, not so much hiccuped, but threw themselves up a bit in you mouth and leaked out.
