The National Rifle Association, in a powerful slam on Democratic attacks on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, is pushing back hard on liberal “smears” from lawmakers it calls morally questionable.
“We the people denounce their character assassination, their hypocrisy, their lies. And we proudly stand with Brett Kavanaugh,” said NRA President Oliver North in a newly released NRA TV video.

North attacked Kavanaugh’s critics, not by name, but by their past. He included Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and even the late Sen. Edward Kennedy. He said:
A political party coordinates violent protests… to smear a father and run his children out of the room.
A man who lied about military service, who stole valor… smears a humble public servant and calls for his nomination to the Supreme Court to be withdrawn.
A woman who wants to confiscate your firearms leaks an unsubstantiated accusation… to smear a man because he believes in our Second Amendment.
Politicians call a privileged senator who killed a woman, a Lion… now they smear Brett Kavanaugh as a threat to women.
North, a celebrated retired Marine, concluded in the spot:
I didn’t hold dying Marines in my arms defending freedom, so corrupt politicians could disgrace their heroic sacrifice.
