USA: Nearly 200 arrested on Capitol Hill during Kavanaugh confirmation 2018-10-07 06:09 At least 164 protesters were arrested during furious protests on the steps of the Capitol in Washington DC on Saturday after Judge Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice by the US Senate. The mass arrests occurred while Kavanaugh was being confirmed to the court in a narrow 50:48 vote. «The Supreme Court should be the most fit people in the land, the most fit lawyers, the best, the brightest, not people who hide their financial dealings, not people who lie under oath, and certainly not people who assault women and then lie about it and try to cover it up. I'm here for that, I'm here for the truth,» said one of the protesters. The confirmation follows weeks of controversy and debate after Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford, a research psychiatrist, who alleged Kavanaugh assaulted her at a high school party in 1982. The vote comes as a major win for US President Donald Trump who continued to express his full support for Kavanaugh despite Ford's accusations.

The President also thanked the Republican senators who, as he described, refused «to back down in the face of the Democrats' shameless campaign of political and personal destruction.» Commenting on protests, including the one held on the steps of the US Capitol while Kavanaugh was being confirmed, Trump accused Democrats of becoming an «angry mob.» «You don't hand matches to an arsonist, and you don't give power to an angry left-wing mob, and that's what they've become,» the President noted. «Оно вам надо!»: Наезд на Трампа, бывший символ демократической России и Нобелевская неделя 2018-10-07 08:04 Газета «Нью-Йорк Таймс» обвинила американского президента в налоговых махинациях.
