Donald Trump is angry. Not exactly breaking news but he’s going after a target that just days ago he seemed to support. At a rally in Mississippi tonight, just five weeks from the midterm elections and with the GOP staring at a blue wave, Trump cast doubt on one of Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers, Christine Blasey Ford.

The President of the United States is victim shaming. He’s mocking a victim of sexual abuse before a cheering crowd. “These are really evil people,” Trump says of Kavanaugh’s accusers. And then the crowd cheered, “lock her up.”
Donald Trump seems to be trying, in one night, to alienate every female voter in America.
Trump Restrained lasted until today, save for a few tweets that McConnell and WH aides didn’t like. It ended about 30 minutes ago on a stage in MS, where he openly mocked Ford, to cheers.
