Catholic Moms Defend Kavanaugh with “It Can Happen to Our Sons” Ad
David G. McAfee, October 9, 2018

A Catholic group claiming to speak on behalf of #MomsForKavanaugh ran a fear-mongering ad insisting Brett Kavanaugh’s life was “totally and permanently destroyed” by false sexual assault allegations — and that the same could happen to other “good” men.

CatholicVote.org, a non-profit that was founded to promote “pro-life” candidates in Congress, created the dramatic video showing young boys growing up “into men of virtue” and taking on virtuous and courageous jobs… before showing clips from Kavanaugh’s emotional testimony prior to confirmation with ominous text trying to scare mothers into supporting his placement on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Catholic moms created an ad in support of Kavanaugh in tribute to their sons who they fear can be attacked one day by slutty wicked liar women claiming sexual harrassment.

If it can happen to him…

It can happen to our sons

It can happen to our brothers

It can happen to our fathers

It can happen to our husbands

It can happen to you

By the way, the tweet we embedded above isn’t from the original source. That’s because CatholicVote appears to have taken down the video from all of its social media without explanation. But not before it evoked plenty of reactions from critics.

Even before the allegations, liberals worried Kavanaugh could be the decisive fifth vote on a number of cases affecting women. Who could’ve guessed the first instance would involve conservatives just flat-out calling women liars?

1. Sick and twisted

Guess it’s a similar phenomenon to how a protective mom of a serial killer would be about her precious child...

2. In Kavanaugh's case, there would be an extremely simple solution:

Charge Christine Blasey Ford with making false accusations or sue her for slander. A verdict against Ford would restore Kavanaugh's reputation and put a damper on any future actions like hers.

Of course, this strategy only works if Kav is actually innocent.

3. Religion is used to warp minds.

So where is the concern for their daughters? This is sick, twisted and perverted. No wonder Catholics are quitting the faith. It must really be down without the immigrants.

4. these select catholic moms must forget what their priests have and are doing to their sons

[Mariana]

9. How do you think they got away with it for so long?

The molestation, the transfers, the covering up? It was because of Catholic moms like these.

[beachbum bob]

11. In many cases the sons kept quiet...it's part of the catholic dogma...

These same moms would sing a different tune if they or a daughter were victim of rape.

[Mariana]

12. The children kept quiet because Mom would side with the priest

and the victims knew it. The priests said, "No one will believe you," and the children knew the priests were right.

[PJMcK]

5. Yeah, the Catholic Church is not interested in anyone's well being...

... except their own financial health.

Tell me how generous, caring and kind that criminal organization is when they look out for the children and put the sexual predators in jail. Tell me how important their programs are when they stop closing schools but continue to spend disgusting amounts of money rebuilding their cathedrals.

In the meantime, they can fuck off. The Pope is a phony and the entire organization is corrupt.

6. Were these the same Catholic Moms...

....that continued to allow their children to be molested by the parish priest!!!

[muntrv]

7. Gee, why are people leaving the Catholic Church?

[blueinredohio]

8. On the other hand

What Kavanaugh did to Dr. Ford could also happen to their daughters. How are they going to feel then?

[TreasonousBastard]

10. Yes. While there is concern for anyone falsely accused of anything...

where is the concern for real victims?

[Iggo]

13. It is happening to your daughters. (n/t)

[smirkymonkey]

14. Sickening. And they wonder why their daughters reject their religion.
