The United States should not make Supreme Court Justice-nominee Brett Kavanaugh pay for "pent-up" demand by women incensed about sexual misconduct, according to White House senior counselor Kellyanne Conway.
Conway told CBS "This Morning" the allegations against Kavanaugh, now by a second woman, sound like a "vast left-wing conspiracy."
Conway said: "Are we going to put decades of pent-up demand for women to feel whole on one man's shoulders?"
She added the second woman, who alleges Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at Yale, is welcome to testify to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, is expected to do so Thursday.
Kavanaugh denies both charges.
Conway said, "I don't think one man's shoulders should bear decades of the #MeToo movement" that has toppled powerful men across industries over the last year.
