Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) on Saturday went after Christine Blasey Ford s sexual assault accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh , calling her story an attempt at character assassination.

The Republican lawmaker said Blaseys allegation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers wasnt credible because she couldnt remember all the details 35 years later, the Des Moines Register reported .

Im thinking, is there any man in this room that wouldnt be subjected to such an allegation? A false allegation? King said at an Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition event on Saturday. How can you disprove something like that? Which means, if thats the new standard, no man will ever qualify for the Supreme Court again.
