Bam! Durbin says info in other FBI interviews about inapp. sexual behavior or alcohol abuse.

This tweet is not accurate. Committee Republicans must correct it. See our letter here:

Link to tweet

Nowhere in any of these six FBI reports, which the committee has reviewed on a bipartisan basis, was there ever a whiff of ANY issue – at all – related in any way to inappropriate sexual behavior or alcohol abuse. 2/2

There is something in the other FBI interviews!

Nothing in the tweet is inaccurate or misleading. The committee stands by its statement, which is completely truthful. More baseless innuendo and more false smears from Senate Democrats.

This man has the nerve to call people unpatriotic when they take a knee at a sports event.

this man never served the country in the military (5 deferments) and we find that he is a tax evader, so never even supported the troops by helping pay for the wars they fought in.

I know who I call unpatriotic!

Tell us what you know!

The Republicans don't follow the spirit or letter of their obligations to the nation. Why should you?

Tell us what you know. Do it today.

Otherwise, what's the point?

If there was something disqualifying in the prior reports, it should have been brought out, along with Dr. Ford's allegations, much sooner. The combination of the two would probably have killed Kav's nomination in August. Instead, they waited until the right time had passed. Now we'll get stuck with this pasty faced loser for the next 40 years. Heckuva job Feiney!
