Trump: "It's a Very Scary Time for Young Men in America"
--------------------------------------------------------

President Trump praised Judge Kavanaugh and mocked his accusers Tuesday.
This is Trump speaking to reporters outside the White House.

President Donald Trump: "Well, I say that it's a very scary time for
young men in America, when you can be guilty of something that you may
not be guilty of. This is a very, very-this is a very difficult time."

Later Tuesday, Trump mocked Dr. Christine Blasey Ford during a campaign
rally in Mississippi, just days after calling her a "very credible
witness."

President Donald Trump: "Thirty-six years ago, this happened. I had one
beer, right? I had one beer. Well, do you think it was-no, it was one
beer. Oh good, well how did you get home? I don't remember. How'd you
get there? I don't remember. Where is the place? I don't remember. How
many years ago was it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know!"

We'll have more on the fight over Judge Kavanaugh's nomination to the
Supreme Court after headlines, when we'll speak with Dr. Bandy Lee, a
forensic psychiatrist on the faculty of Yale School of Medicine. Lee is
co-author of a letter by mental health professionals warning Kavanaugh's
behavior is consistent with someone struggling with an alcohol problem.
