Lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford Say That Their Client Hasn\u2019t Been Interviewed,<\/a>” and they\u2019re desperate. They want the FBI to interview her. Well, I\u2019m sorry, but that\u2019s not what this is. It says right here, “FBI probe of Kavanaugh,” and that may be one of the things that\u2019s wrong here. But it\u2019s not an investigation of Blasey Ford, it\u2019s an investigation of Kavanaugh, and the FBI\u2019s already done it six times! This is the seventh! There\u2019s not an official investigation into her.<\/p>\nShe\u2019s the accuser. She\u2019s above reproach, don\u2019t you know. This is the… We\u2019re so out of balance here. Women — activist feminazi women — can demand all kinds of investigations into men. Men cannot require or demand investigations into women. Can you imagine if somebody tried that? I mean, women as an entire gender population of the country? Men are under investigation in this country, be it through Kavanaugh or through Trump or whoever.<\/p>\n
Now, let\u2019s get to Trump mocking (this is TheHill.com) Christine Blasey Ford. Let me look at the audio sound bites here. Yeah, grab sound bite Nos. 5 and 6. This is what the left is really irritated about today. Last night in Southaven, Mississippi… This is a suburb of Memphis. It just barely over the Tennessee-Mississippi state line, and here is Trump. This is at another make America again rally, “Make America Great Again.”<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: How\u2019d you get home? “I don\u2019t remember.” How\u2019d you get there? “I don\u2019t remember.” Where is the place? “I don\u2019t remember.”<\/p>\n
AUDIENCE: (laughter and applause)<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: How many years ago was it? “I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know! I don\u2019t know!”<\/p>\n
AUDIENCE: (roaring applause)<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: What neighborhood was it in? “I don\u2019t know.” Where\u2019s the house? “I don\u2019t know.” Upstairs? Downstairs? Where was it? “I don\u2019t know, but I had one beer. That\u2019s the only thing I remember,” and a man\u2019s life is in tatters. A man\u2019s life is shattered.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, that is not mocking Ford. Mocking would have been to impersonate her. He didn\u2019t do that. See, this is what\u2019s wrong. Donald Trump simply voiced what no Republican senator would have. These are the questions she should have been asked last Thursday by Republican senators! Her timeline should have been challenged! Her allegations should have been challenged! But they weren\u2019t! The Democrats weren\u2019t going to. The Democrats announced her and stated her to be credible. “She\u2019s above and beyond reproach!<\/p>\n
“You cannot challenge her! She is the accuser!” So the Republicans, they played right along and went out and had Rachel Mitchell ask her some questions — which now turn out to be brilliant, but at the time we were all kind of curious, you know, what the purpose was. All Trump is doing is reminding everybody what she said. She doesn\u2019t know! She doesn\u2019t know! The people she says were there say they weren\u2019t there!<\/p>\n
This is not mocking her, and this is a sign of what really is wrong in this country. An accuser comes forward, and you can\u2019t poke holes in obvious places? You can\u2019t point out obvious discrepancies? You cannot reference or make mention of the differences in her story, depending on the day she\u2019s telling it? Whatever this is, it is not mocking Christine Blasey Ford! Now, a lot of people are saying, “But this is crazy, Rush, because last week Trump was saying that she was ‘credible\u2019 and her testimony was ‘compelling.'”<\/p>\n

I have explained this before and I\u2019m going to explain it again. Trump always eventually will tell you what he really thinks about anything, and he may not do that out of the batter\u2019s box. I have a name for this. I call it “pacing.” Trump will initially go out with a general opinion like on gun control after a shooting or the DREAMers — or in this case Dr. Blasey Ford, he\u2019ll call her credible testimony compelling. He\u2019ll even go so far as to say (summarized), “Yeah, if she\u2019s telling the truth, yeah, then my nomination might be in trouble. Yeah. I\u2019ll agree with that.”<\/p>\n
That gives him credibility. It makes people kind of cock their heads. They don\u2019t think Trump can be that fair. I\u2019m talking about the media and the left, the Democrats. They don\u2019t think Trump can be that reasonable. But he does it to them every time. It gives him the credibility to later be critical and to step away. He said, “Yeah, I found her credible. I found her compelling.” Then, as we learn more, and then as events play out, Trump is able to parlay his original statements into what he really thinks based on what is not a knee-jerk reaction.<\/p>\n
If Trump were to have said initially what he said last night at the rally, why, there would have been hell to pay. But now he can back it up. Now there\u2019s all kinds of evidence that her timeline doesn\u2019t make any sense. We\u2019ve got an ex-boyfriend claiming she is a polygraph expert and has taught people how to beat them! We have people challenging her account. We didn\u2019t have that last week. It is perfectly fine for Trump to do what he did.<\/p>\n
It gives him the credibility later to be critical and to step away. It\u2019s a common technique he uses. He does it on everything. It\u2019s why I\u2019ve always told you: Don\u2019t take his first draft statement or his first tweet as a sign that he\u2019s caving or flipping. You people, I\u2019m sure you remember there have been many instances (in fact, I may have fallen for one myself; that\u2019s how I learned) that Trump will tweet something or say something it will make you look like he\u2019s about…<\/p>\n
Before he pulled out of the Paris climate accords, what did he say? “Climate change a very serious thing, and we have to look at it, and we are looking at it, and we\u2019ll do the right thing.” Oh, so he\u2019s on record as being open about it! And then later on when he\u2019s learned what he needs to learn, comes out and tells you what he thinks, really thinks. It\u2019s a pattern. It\u2019s a technique. It\u2019s a Trump-developed…<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t even know if he developed it or it\u2019s just how he does it naturally and instinctively. But I call it “pacing.” Now, Republicans have not built up this reputation. Senate Republicans haven\u2019t; Trump has. Trump has established that after he makes an initial statement on something, he can make fun of things — and what really irritates the left is he gets away with it. I cannot tell you how it irritates them. See, he shouldn\u2019t have survived the Access Hollywood video.<\/p>\n
See, he shouldn\u2019t have survived anything they\u2019ve thrown at him. The fact that he has and has continued to prosper and the triumph, I cannot tell you how blindly insane it has made them with rage. Other Republicans have not developed the gonads to do this and pull it off. Trump has been attacked so much, we\u2019re now… If you go back to 2015 when this campaign started… This is 2018. This is three years — in fact, it\u2019s three years and three months. Trump gets in in June of 2015.<\/p>\n
Trump has been attacked so much, he doesn\u2019t care anymore. It doesn\u2019t bother him anymore, is my point. He\u2019s now willing to take the arrows. He\u2019s willing to take the hits for everybody else. That\u2019s why he is needed, folks. He is willing to do what he did last night. I know. Murkowski and Collins are shuddering and cowering in the corner with the vapors. “Oh, my God. It was so horrible. It was so horrible!” It wasn\u2019t horrible. Everything he said is true! He was not mocking her! The actress whose audio we played mocked Blasey Ford. Trump didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

He just simply pointed out she kept back up, she cannot corroborate. There isn\u2019t any corroboration for what she said. Why is that not relevant? Why does that not matter? Why have we gotten to a point where any woman can come forward and accuse any man of anything and it\u2019s gospel, and then be joined by a so-called movement called #MeToo where all women can join it. Can you imagine if there was something going on…? Can you imagine if men organized for the express purpose of destroying women?<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t even imagine it, can you?<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t even imagine, organized movement, the male version of #MeToo. “Well, Rush, I mean, women are not out there sexually abusing…” Well, yeah, that does happen, but that\u2019s not the point. This is not about… Even Bannon said it. This is not just about sexual abuse. This is about raw power. This is about female rage because of things that have happened to them, the leftist women, and they have organized all of these disorders into a giant political movement.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m just asking you to think. Can you ever…? Can you envision a movement of men? If such a group existed and Oprah had invited the leader on her show, he\u2019d have been thrown off in the first 10 minutes and been ridiculed and made fun of for the rest of his life. It could not happen! Women are a minority, supposedly, even though they\u2019re not, in numbers. But it\u2019s so out of balance. All Trump did was say what everybody following this knows.<\/p>\n
Even the Democrats. The Democrats know there are all kinds of holes in her story. Trump doing what he\u2019s doing provides a lot of cover for a lot of people. That\u2019s one of the many reasons why he\u2019s needed. Trump said, “Guilty until proven innocent. That\u2019s very dangerous for our country.” That\u2019s what this is. That\u2019s what the Democrat Party is ensuring, and that\u2019s what Democrat senators have said! That the accused has to prove he didn\u2019t do it, that the accuser doesn\u2019t have to corroborate anything, the accuser doesn\u2019t have to prove anything.<\/p>\n
Where? In what civilized society is that real? Trump said, “Guilty until proven innocent. That\u2019s very dangerous for our country. I have it myself all the time. But for me, it\u2019s like part of the job description. Let it happen to me. It shouldn\u2019t happen to him,” meaning Kavanaugh. Translation: “I\u2019ll take the hits. I will take the arrows. I will stand in the way of bullets and I\u2019ll take \u2019em for the team.”<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, Sarah Sanders, White House press briefing is going on. She just laid into the press, and she said exactly what I said, if I don\u2019t mind saying so.<\/p>\n
She said Trump didn\u2019t mock anybody last night. He simply recited the facts! And he said all of this can be laid at the feet of the Democrats. They\u2019re to blame for this. None of this needed have happened in public. They had Blasey Ford\u2019s email or letter way back in July. They could have done everything that\u2019s been done to investigate her claim off record, behind the scenes, nobody knowing about it.<\/p>\n
But they didn\u2019t do that. They waited to use it as a Hail Mary. She disputes the idea that Trump mocked. She said, “All he was doing was reciting the facts.” Here it is again. This is what the press, the media, everybody is out now ripping Trump, claiming that he mocked Christine Blasey Ford.<\/p>\n
