Rush Limbaugh . . . "Folks, I’m telling you. Behind closed doors, it’s never as copacetic and peaceful as you think it might be. You think people in this sphere of life are used to this and are prepared for it and it rolls off their back because it’s just the rules of the game, but I’m telling you it’s not that way. It doesn’t happen that way. This is designed to cause acrimony between Kavanaugh and his wife. It’s designed to cause and put pressure points and stress.
"It’s designed to make her not want any part of this. It’s designed to make her get mad at him. “Look what you’ve dragged me into! I didn’t sign up for this when we got married. It’s none of their business what I did here and what I’ve written in my emails,” and then he has to talk her down. If this happened! This is what they’re trying to create. I’m not predicting that this is the result within their marriage. I’m just telling you this is what Drive-Bys are trying to create here.
Democrats are "all about dividing people. They’re all about driving wedges between people, including married couples. But this is how desperate they are. I telling you, when news of this gets out, you can throw this on the pile of stuff that’s gonna end up backfiring on these people like they can’t even imagine. They think they’re off in a new area. “This is a brilliant tack,” they’re probably thinking. “We can’t find any dirt on Kavanaugh, but his wife’s certainly got some information we can use to sully both of them.” They have no idea how it’s gonna backfire. You just wait." . . .
NEW YORK TIMES TARGETS KAVANAUGH’S WIFE
"I wouldn’t have thought my opinion of the New York Times could get any lower, but it just did. NTK Network reports that the Times, as well as the Associated Press, has requested emails sent or received by Ashley Kavanaugh in her capacity as town manager of Chevy Chase, Maryland:
The New York Times and Associated Press both filed requests under the Maryland Public Information Act (PIA) seeking e-mails that Ashley Kavanaugh, the wife of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, sent as town manager of The Village of Chevy Chase Section 5, according to documents obtained by America Rising Squared (AR2) and shared exclusively with the NTK Network. . . .
"Families are now fair game.
The New York Times and Associated Press are aggressively targeting the wife of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, while CNN is targeting the wife of Bill Shine, the new White House deputy chief of staff for communications.
In the age of Trump, the establishment media have whined incessantly about protecting norms, about keeping in place the way things have always been done.
But even as the media bellyache about President Trump violating norms, in their own partisan zeal to destroy anyone of the political right the media are also violating all kinds of norms, including fomenting, excusing, and encouraging violence.
What’s more, this past week a number of far-left media institutions violated another cherished norm, the one about leaving families, including spouses, out of the political fray.
The moral standards of Ted Kennedy, the Clintons, and Harry Reid on display.
