Well, in the aftermath of the Kavanaugh allegations from Ford, the responses from many Republicans seems to be that there is nothing wrong with sexual assault. If that is the point of view of some Republicans, then I can see why some white male Republicans might be angry. They may feel that their way of life (getting away with sexual assaults) is being threatened.
After putting up with the Democratic Party screaming that rape and sexual abuse was perfectly acceptable from Clinton, even in the White House. Considering that they still feel spousal abuse even with doctors reports as verification is fine because it is among husband and wife. I really don't see Democrats have much of a moral ground to stand on.
While Republicans are saying that you need something besides an allegation that you could drive a tank through as a supposition of guilt. Especially when there are those saying it never happened, especially when one of them was supposed to be the only other one in the room that witnessed it.
