"This is ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone," said the 53-year-old judge, in a statement issued by the White House. Swetnick said Kavanaugh's claim of "innocence" and lack of sexual activity in high school was "absolutely false and a lie." Swetnick said she had witnessed efforts by Kavanaugh to "'target' particular girls so they could be taken advantage of." "I strongly believe Judge Kavanaugh should withdraw from consideration," Schumer said in a statement. Kavanaugh was handpicked by Donald Trump for the lifelong post on the Supreme Court, and has continued to enjoy the president's steadfast backing despite the allegations against him.
