Earlier today, Democrat Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan had this to say about allegations brought forward by lawyer Michael Avenatti:
Was Avenatti helpful to the process?

Other Dems have made similar comments:

Let the blame game begin! And also the narrative suddenly doesn’t line up:

I don't understand. Are not all to be believed? https://t.co/ocU9kMNL4u

But Avenatti’s not happy one bit about being scapegoated by anybody over the Democrats’ failed circus over the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh:
Be clear – the below is directed at Repubs, the media, and Dems that are engaged in this attack on my client. It is especially outrageous that any person who claims they are a Democrat would attack a woman for coming forward and literally risking her life to speak up. Shameful. pic.twitter.com/PIqV3q5eso

THIS is why we lost and why we MUST fight fire with fire. “But what McConnell…showed is that the GOP is willing to use that partisan power in a ruthless and aggressive fashion. They are willing to fight in the most extreme way necessary to win.”https://t.co/u0rX5z8nfk

When they go low, we hit harder. There is far too much at stake for any other approach.

So is the answer for Dems moving forward to do twice as much of the smears and stunts that didn’t work the first time? Good luck!
