Trump revels in Kavanaugh win, dubs Democrats an 'angry left-wing mob' at Kansas rally

President Trump headlined a campaign rally in Kansas Saturday night, an event he claimed on Twitter boasted a larger crowd than the protesters outside the Senate in Washington.

Much of his speech focused on the day's "tremendous victory," the confirmation of new Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Citing protests against the judge, Trump called Democrats an "angry left-wing mob" and "the party of crime."

"The Democrats are willing to cause such destruction in the pursuit of power," Trump said, urging his audience to turn out for Republicans on Election Day. "Imagine the devastation they would cause if they ever obtain the power they so desperately want and crave."
