Come ON! Sen. Bob Menendez's take on Kavanaugh allegations nominated for 'You Ought To Sit This One Out' Hall of Fame

Doug P. | 10:42 AM on September 17, 2018

With Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh fully denying allegations made recently about something he’s accused of having done in high school, Sen. Bob Menendez is calling for a delay in the confirmation process:

This is exactly why we can’t rush nominations. How can we vote on Kavanaugh when disturbing, credible allegations of sexual assault have been made? Even Republican Senators Jeff Flake & Bob Corker want to delay the vote. I agree. #DelayTheVote. https://t.co/0f1Pme7UWU

Duuude…

The absurdity of my team vs. your team nicely encapsulated in one tweet. Imagine him (or his staffer) tweeting this with a straight face. https://t.co/yekpRixvsb

Today in people who really should not be talking about disturbing, credible allegations. https://t.co/uVWo4xVnJp

Menendez has shown in the past that his lack of self-awareness is second to none:

Hey Champ,

I don't disagree, but maybe you should sit this one out… https://t.co/7etHrdbiw3

Great idea, but he’s not about to do that.

Pump the brakes there guy. You are the last person that should be trying to take the high road here. Well maybe @keithellison should keep his mouth shut too
