From Daily Wire:
“Those who step forward to serve our country deserve a fair and dignified evaluation, not a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception,” Trump continued.
“What happened to the Kavanaugh family violates every notion of fairness, decency, and due process,” Trump said. “[In] our country, a man or a woman, must always be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.”

"You sir, under historic scrutiny, were proven innocent," Pres Trump tells Justice Kavanaugh. And then addressing himself to Kavanaugh's daughters, @POTUS told them, "your father is a great man," citing his decency and courage. pic.twitter.com/Yz3MH8bLTc

Liberals are losing it:
On behalf of those in the US who thinks Trump is a FRAUD & a CON & A RACIST BASTARD & that Kavanaugh is UNFIT for SCOTUS & a threat to ALL WOMEN,"MOTHA'FUCKA DON'T YOU EVAH SPEAK ON MY BEHALF!" @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/r1IhZgr4KK

At the White House swearing-in, Trump obscenely made the occasion a purely partisan one with his ludicrous claim that Justice Kavanaugh had been “proven innocent” and his misogynistic apology for the Senate’s even having listened to Dr. Blasey Ford.

Trump's one redeeming quality is he doesn't know when to quit & takes victory laps so far that now Brett Kavanaugh will never be respected even inside the Supreme Court.

This is waay waay worse than I imagined and I thought it would be bad.

I now realize this speech is happening to erase the memory of his Thursday performance so it's not the last thing in people's minds before he takes the seat on the court.

Just crystallized for me how much this entire thing was a dry run for when Mueller submits his findings.

More from Fox News:
At the conclusion of Trump’s remarks, Kennedy administered the oath to Kavanaugh as his family looked on, and the room again broke out into sustained applause. As Trump noted, it was the first time a Supreme Court justice has ever sworn in his former clerk to take his seat.
Taking the podium as the Supreme Court’s newest justice, Kavanaugh acknowledged the partisan rancor that surrounded his confirmation and gripped the nation over the past two months. “I take this office with gratitude and no bitterness,” he said.
“All nine of us revere the Constitution,” Kavanaugh continued, referring to his new colleagues. “The Supreme Court is an institution of law. It is not a partisan or political institution. The justices do not sit on opposite sides of the aisle. … The Supreme Court is a team of nine, and I will always be a team player on a team of nine.”
