After generally remaining quiet about the accusation of sexual assault leveled against his nominee to the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump was finally unable to resist weighing in on Twitter on Friday morning. Kavanaugh, he tweeted, was “under assault by radical left wing politicians who don’t want to know the answers” to questions about what happened the night Christine Blasey Ford says Kavanaugh tried to assault her. Moreover, Trump — and everyone else — should be aware that reporting such incidents to authorities is the exception, not the norm. That Ford didn’t go to the police is not in any way an indication that the attack didn’t occur. Sexual assault & domestic violence are row of the most under-reported crimes in society, this is a fact & in the past the law enforcement community has not done a good job of creating safe spaces for victims.
