Satirist Randy Rainbow has churned out another timely political musical parody. This time, to the tune of the title song from Camelot, he skewers Republicans for their unwavering support of Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, a man multiple women have now accused of sexual assault.

"Republicans assumed he was a shoo-in. Political control was all they saw. But look whose reputation's now in ruin. Judge Kavanaugh," Rainbow croons.

A few weeks ago, the first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, came forward with allegations that Kavanaugh attacked her at a party in high school. Republicans, and Donald Trump refused to believe her story and now there are up to four more allegations from women who say that Kavanaugh assaulted them. A report in The New Yorker fromRonan Farrow and Jane Mayer published on Sunday focuses on a classmate of Kavanaugh's at Yale who said he shoved his exposed genitals in her face at a party during their freshman year.

Rainbow's latest video was already in the works when the news dropped on Sunday about multiple accusers. Still, Rainbow gets to the heart of the issue around the hypocrisy of Republicans and the White House and those who fail to believe survivors of assault.
