Brett Kavanaugh said he will “not be intimidated into withdrawing” his Supreme Court nomination after a second woman came forward with a sexual misconduct allegation against him, The Hill reports.
Kavanaugh described the accusations against him as “smears, pure and simple.”
He added: “I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process. The coordinated effort to destroy my good name will not drive me out. The vile threats of violence against my family will not drive me out. The last- minute character assassination will not succeed.”
