President Donald Trump on Friday called Christine Blasey Ford's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee "compelling" and "credible," adding that he was not sure if Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court would "continue onward."

Trump also said Ford, who alleges that she was sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh at a house when they were teenagers, was "certainly a very credible witness."

"I thought her testimony was very compelling and she looks like a very fine woman to me. A very fine woman," he said. "And I thought that Brett’s testimony likewise was, really something that I hadn’t seen before. Incredible. It was an incredible moment in the history of our country."

However, the president seemed less sure about the fate of his nominee, telling reporters, "I don’t know if this is going to continue onward or if we’re going to get a vote."

1. this sounds like what he said yesterday before kavanuagh spoke

[NYC Liberal]

2. He's full of shit. If the Repugs secure the votes, he'll back him 100%.

If they don’t, he’s laying the groundwork for him to pretend to be the good guy and he’ll pull the nomination before they can vote against him.

5. +agree. this is nothing but BS from Trumpty Dumpty.

[Judi Lynn]

3. He's waiting until his orcs have determined what the criminally insane want him to do. n/t

Everything. Because he's a garbage human being.

12. Trump: "she looks like a very fine woman to me". Translation: highly fuckable.

Sorry to be so blunt, but that's how his mind works.

[crazytown]

14. Here's another 'very fine looking woman'

Joan Larsen 49, conservative Catholic, known for her expansive views of Executive power and on the SCOTUS short list this year.

A fine looking way to change the optics for the GOP if Kav goes down, but little else.

[John Fante]

13. Someone must have told Gump that attacking Ford is the epitome of

baaaaaad optics.

He's still backing Kavenaugh though. Don't be fooled.

[PSPS]

15. "looks like a very fine woman to me" and "incredible moment in the history of our country." ARGH

Yes, I said it. I don't have the least bit of respect for either of them.
