He didn’t mock Professor Ford. He pointed out many of the inconsistencies in her account - something the MSM won’t do, because they’re too invested in attacking Brett Kavanaugh. If the press were balanced, they would have raised the same issues Pres. Trump raised here. https://t.co/qsUAZeGWkl

Or are we arguing about what “mocking” is now? IF YOU INSIST: what the rhetorical tool did Trump use to “point out inconsistencies”? Simple, cruel sarcasm, which then *got laughs.* A third-grader would recognize that as “mocking” —which is also what that comparison is, btw. https://t.co/a8bj6soQU2
