Gaslighting alert! Kirsten Powers' take on double standard between treatments of Brett Kavanaugh and Joe Biden is 'beyond dishonest and insulting'

It’s been a while since we last checked in with Kirsten Powers. Turns out that could be because she’s been living on Earth 2:

As I point out in my column today, there is no 'double standard' in the way Kavanaugh was treated vs. Biden. A few Dems called for immediate withdrawal of nomination, but the prevailing view was that the accusations should be heard and investigated. Same should be done w Reade.

You cannot be serious. It's all on tape. It was 24/7 onslaught.

You realize people can look back at what was said and done back then?

Not only is there a huge double standard, but it's clear you were one of the people who applied it.

You even wrote a column suggesting your own unrelated experience was evidence of Kavanaugh's guilt. pic.twitter.com/2My67mDdj0

Friends this is literal gaslighting

A textbook case.

That is the single most absurd tweet ever ( and you have plenty of competition). Nobody objective believes that there isn’t a flagrant double standard. The current standard is right ( respect accusers, presumption of innocence, due process). This is beyond dishonest and insulting
