'Uncorroborated and unsubstantiated': McConnell backs Kavanaugh after fresh sexual assault allegation

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued two tweets on Sunday defending Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after a New York Times story reported on another sexual misconduct allegation that was brought up during his confirmation last year.

“The far left’s willingness to seize on completely uncorroborated and unsubstantiated allegations during last year’s confirmation process was a dark and embarrassing chapter for the Senate,” McConnell tweeted, adding the country still believes in due process and “I look forward to many years of service to come from Justice Kavanaugh.”
