Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) became one of the highest-profile figures to highlight the discrepancies in media coverage of sexual assault allegations against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
“At the very least, it’s pretty obvious that the same people who were outraged about allegations—unproven allegations against Justice Kavanaugh when he was in high school—seem to have little or no interest, or certainly not as much interest, in suggestions of improper behavior by an adult who is in the Senate. I think these things ought to be dealt with symmetrically,” McConnell said during an interview on Fox News Radio on April 27.
