Kavanaugh Accuser's Classmate: 'That It Happened Or Not, I Have No Idea'

A former classmate of Christine Blasey Ford tells NPR that she does not know if an alleged sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh took place as she first suggested on social media.

"That it happened or not, I have no idea," Cristina King Miranda told NPR's Nina Totenberg. "I can't say that it did or didn't."

That's different from what Miranda wrote Wednesday in a now-deleted Facebook post that stated definitively, "The incident DID happen, many of us heard about it in school."

which is pretty much what she said in original tweet

"Miranda added that despite not knowing specifics of what went on at the party three decades ago, she remembers that there was a "buzz" that went around the weekend of the party in question about an alleged incident involving students from her school and Kavanaugh's."

this is a re-characterization in a negative slant

8. It sucks that she's not willing to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"Miranda said staff from the Senate Judiciary Committee had reached out to her, something she was not expecting. She said she will not go through with a committee interview if asked."
