The Republican National Committee has adopted President Trump’s “witch hunt” terminology to describe the sexual misconduct allegations leveled at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

“Judge Kavanaugh has become the victim of a televised witch hunt playing out in front of his own family,” the RNC wrote in an email on behalf of “Trump Headquarters” soliciting signatures for a petition in support of the judge. “Democrats only want to smear this man because he was nominated by President Trump.”
