President Trump said he believed that he treated Christine Blasey Ford with respect even though he confessed to making fun of his inability to remember many details of the evening when she had stated that the judge of Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her in 1982.
Interviewed on Sunday during an interview on CBS's "60 Minutes" show, which seemed to suggest that she was lying about the incident during a high school night, Trump responded "I'm not going to start because we won, it does not matter, we won."
At the Mississippi protest on October 3, Trump imitated Ford's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee at Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing.
"I drank a beer. "Well, you think that was it, no!" It was a beer. & # 39; Oh super. How did you get home? I do not remember. "How did you get here?" I do not remember it.
"Where is the place?" I do not remember. "How many years has it been?" I do not know, "said the president.
CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl asked why he was making fun of her.
"I did not really laugh at her," Trump said.
But Stahl said his audience applauded and laughed.
"What I said, the person we are talking about did not know the year, the time, the place," he said.
Stahl said that one of the moving moments of Blasey Ford's testimony had been the memory of Kavanaugh and another boy making fun of her – "at my expense".
"They can do what they want, I'll tell you this: The way Justice Kavanaugh was treated has become an important factor in the mid-term." Have you seen what happened with the polls? ? "Said the president.
The Senate voted in favor of confirming Kavanaugh, who denied Blasey Ford's allegations, by a vote of 50 to 48 on October 6.
