Catholic Moms Defend Kavanaugh with "It Can Happen to Our Sons" Ad [View all]

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?
