The House’s top Democrat surmised Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump is trying “to break the #MeToo movement” by voting Brett Kavanaugh into a seat on the Supreme Court without further investigation of Christine Blasey Ford’s sworn statement that he sexually assaulted her when both were in high school. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters she agreed with people, including her daughter, who believe that Trump has a greater vendetta against women, especially those who are bringing accusations against powerful men.

But Pelosi stressed on Friday that she wasn’t interested in any political boost an electoral backlash against Kavanaugh’s confirmation might bring Democrats if it meant Kavanaugh would be on the Supreme Court.
