In addition, the organization alleged that Kavanaugh made “several “misstatements and “outright falsehoods” in his testimony.
Furthermore, the National Council of Christian Churches said the Supreme Court nominee’s judicial and political record on certain civil rights issues were “troubling.”
“Judge Kavanaugh’s extensive judicial and political record is troubling with regard to issues of voting rights, racial and gender justice, health care, the rights of people with disabilities, and environmental protections. This leads us to believe that he cannot be an impartial justice in cases that are sure to come before him at the Court,” the organization wrote.
In a tweet, Jack Jenkins, a reporter for the Religious News Service, said the National Council of Churches is also “deeply disturbed by the multiple allegations of sexual assault” against Kavanaugh. The organization is calling for a “full and unhindered investigation of these accusations.”
Kavanaugh will never quit
During his recent testimony, Kavanaugh vowed that he will not step aside. He said, “I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process. You’ve tried hard. You’ve given it your all. No one can question your effort. But your well- coordinated and well-funded effort to destroy my good name and destroy my family will not drive me out. The vile threats of violence against my family will not drive me out. You may defeat me in the final vote, but you will never get me to quit, never.”
