National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch (pictured above) expressed horror at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s treatment amid last-minute sexual assault allegations and where “this is leading for boys in this country” during an interview Thursday morning on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.”
“As a woman, and as a mother of sons, I am horrified by where this is leading for boys in our country,” Loesch lamented.
“My oldest son is the same age Brett Kavanaugh was when these accusations are said to have happened.”
“And wives, mothers, sisters, friends — all these women need to realize our nation’s boys are at stake because boys are considered guilty until proven innocent,” she added. “Boys are considered guilty until proven innocent.”
Christine Blasey Ford became the first woman to come forward publicly on September 16, when she accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her during a high school gathering in suburban Maryland some 36 years ago.
Although Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) received Ford’s allegations in a July letter, she didn’t make them public until September 14 and after they surfaced anonymously — apparently as a result of a leak from Democrats on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary.
Two other women later came forward with their own sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh: Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick.
“And wives, mothers, sisters, friends — all these women need to realize our nation’s boys are at stake because boys are considered guilty until proven innocent.”
Ramirez, a former Yale classmate of Kavanaugh’s, accused him in an article for The New Yorker of exposing himself to her at a drunken dorm party in college.
And lawyer Michael Avenatti, known for representing porn star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Donald Trump, unveiled a third accuser on Wednesday.
Julie Swetnick alleged that Kavanaugh was involved in gang rapes in his adolescence. She claimed that she attended more than 10 of those high school parties during which Kavanaugh and his friends allegedly drank heavily and acted inappropriately.
Kavanaugh has unequivocally denied all the allegations against him.

Loesch gave her interview prior to Kavanaugh’s and Ford’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee later in the morning.
“Now, granted, there are some predatory men out there who have done terrible things to women, but there are also some bad women who have done some horrible things to men,” she noted.
The NRA spokeswoman offered harsh words for Feinstein and her decision not to air Ford’s allegations promptly after receiving them in July.
“As a woman, to see a female sitting-Democrat senator throw an accuser to the wolves by sitting on her accusation for six weeks, by not counseling her, by not putting protections in place before her staff leaked Dr. Ford’s name to the media is absolutely abhorrent. I am horrified by this,” Loesch said.
“If you are such an advocate for women, why would you treat an accuser this way?” Loesch added.
