Straight from the mouth of Democratic leadership, it’s been confirmed that the left does not believe in the presumption of innocence for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
While some Democratic senators have suggested as much, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said it in no uncertain terms.
“No, it's not a legal proceeding; it's a fact-finding proceeding. We do this with every major nominee, and countless times, I think 10 times in the last year, when new information comes up, the FBI goes again and does its background check,” he said in response to a reporter’s question about whether Kavanaugh has the presumption of innocence.
“This is standard operating procedure, and the question looms: Why are our Republicans deviating from it …? This is not a criminal trial. This is not a -- a -- this is to find the facts,” he added.
The reporter sought to clarify Schumer’s remarks, asking again whether he believed in the presumption of innocence.
“I agree that we -- this is not -- that's a criminal trial,” he said. “What -- what I believe is we ought to get to the bottom and find the facts in the way that the FBI has always done. There's no presumption of innocence or guilt when you have a nominee before you. There is rather -- rather, find the facts. Find the facts, and then let the Senate and let the American people make their judgment not whether the person's guilty or innocent, but whether the person deserves to have the office for which he or she is chosen, plain and simple.”
Sens. Chris Coons, D-Del., and Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, have both responded in similar manners about whether Kavanaugh enjoys the presumption of innocence or not.

Blog Author's Comments: Kavanaugh's lawyer has said, Blasey Ford has not submitted her therapist notes or the results of her lie detector test. Mr. Schumer, the FBI has already stated that their background check of Judge Brett Kavanaugh is complete. Why do the progressives not listen to the agency they say they trust? Because, this is simply wanting more delay and an attempt to do, whatever they can with good people’s lives, for their political gain.
Schumer may be just as daft as he sounds. I personally have never heard him utter any truth. There is a presumption of innocence for Kavanaugh. There is no presumption of innocence for Schumer, because he continually lets us know how his small mind works. Schumer believes that presumption of innocence only applies to those on the left, and for them it is absolute. They feel they are never truly guilty of anything, because their motives are based on "caring." Caring for making a name for themselves within their party.
I very much believe that the American people are extremely angry with this entire charade, especially this last outrage, that there will be a huge backlash during the midterm elections in November. 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' is rabid in the Democrats. They will never get over the fact that Hillary Clinton was a lazy candidate and would have been an extremely lazy president.
