Women’s Group: Kavanaugh Must Withdraw Nomination to Supreme Court Over Sexual Misconduct Accusations

This morning, The New Yorker published a piece about how Senate Democrats referred a complaint from a woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct when they both were in high school, to the FBI.

Shaunna Thomas, Executive Director and Co-founder of UltraViolet, a leading national women’s group, issued the following statement, calling on Kavanaugh to withdraw his nomination for the Supreme Court:

“The accusations against Brett Kavanaugh are serious, troubling, and totally disqualifying. He should withdraw his nomination immediately. Violence against women should have no place in our society and it certainly should have no place on the highest court in the nation.”
