Son of Obama Official Alleges Assault over Kavanaugh

October 12, 2018 · 7:15 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Susan Rice, a former national security official in President Obama’s cabinet, made news last week by suggesting she might run against Sen. Susan Collins, the Maine Republican who cast the deciding vote for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh,” the San Jose Mercury News reports.

“But on the other side of the country, her son, a Republican activist at Stanford University who’s a fan of President Trump, found himself in a fracas over his support for the newly confirmed justice. John Rice-Cameron, the president of the Stanford College Republicans, is pressing charges against another student who he says shoved him in the chest Tuesday while he was displaying support for Kavanaugh on campus.”
