Of course, Justice Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual assault by three women. The first of the three accusers, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee during Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings. During that testimony, Dr. Ford detailed the assault perpetrated against her, she says by Kavanaugh, while the two were in high school.

First lady Melania Trump is an intensely private first lady. She does not often comment on current political debates. While she regularly chooses to stay out of the political conversation, in early October, while on her first solo trip abroad, Melania discussed sexual assault allegations generally, insisting victims have “really hard evidence.”
During the ABC interview, Melania said, “If you accuse (someone) of something, show the evidence.” She also said, “I support the women and they need to be heard,” adding, “We need to support them and, you know, also men, not just women.”
Twitter was furious:
You are a traitor of all women. Unintelligent, complicit, devoid of morals. The man is a liar who assaulted a woman. I suggest you have a face to face with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

#Honor?
You mean like when you #lie about having a degree in #architecture when in reality you drop out in #freshman year to work as an #illegal #immigrant in #NewYork #fashion ???— Jon Snow (@dragonblood) November 9, 2018
by 'honor' she is referencing the Slovenian concept of 'protecting my husband from a Mueller indictment'
Kavanugh has stated that the Executive is basically above the law… why do you think Trump picked him? it was for precisely this reason
that's what she means by honor

Ugh – so little honor in the way he conducted himself during his job interview. Terrifying person that I can’t believe made it to the Court.
