Brett Kavanaugh: Five major contradictions Trump's Supreme Court nominee made in unprecedented interview

The IndependentSeptember 25, 2018
Brett Kavanaugh has provided an emotional and full-throated defence against sexual assault allegations during an unprecedented interview with Fox News.
The Supreme Court nominee and his wife Ashley Kavanaugh sat down to discuss accusations brought against him by Dr Christine Blasey Ford, who alleged he pinned her down and made unwanted sexual advances towards her at a party in high school, and another report of sexual misconduct during his college years. A third allegation arrived shortly after the interview was released from an unnamed woman represented by Michael Avenatti.
The interview featured an adamant and visibly hurt Mr Kavanaugh, who vowed he wasn't "going anywhere" and would proceed with the nomination process. However, he appeared to contradict numerous reports and statements from associates throughout his life which cast a damaging picture of the US district judge. Commentators said it was highly unusual, if not entirely unprecedented, for a nominee to appear in a television interview before his confirmation.
Below are some of the most contradictory elements to Mr Kavanaugh's Fox News interview:
Brett Kavanaugh said the supposed college incident "would have been the talk of the campus". It was.
The judge appeared to refute sexual assault claims brought against him by Deborah Ramirez, who said Mr Kavanaugh drunkenly exposed himself to her at a dormitory party at Yale and made her touch his penis without her consent, by suggesting nobody on campus ever heard of or spoke about the alleged incident.
However, numerous Yale alumni have said they recall hearing about the event in question involving both Ms Ramirez and Mr Kavanaugh shortly after it supposedly happened. One unnamed classmate said they were one hundred per cent sure they were told at the time about the judges unwanted advances onto Ms Ramirez. "Ive known this all along, he told the New Yorker. Its been on my mind all these years when his name came up. It was a big deal."
Not only have several former students said the alleged incident was discussed on campus at the time, but others have also said it was brought back up amongst alumni immediately after Donald Trump nominated Mr Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
The judge said the people he knew in college found the claims "inconceivable". They don't................

(935 posts)It's just not a credible defense of the thing he's accused of doing. Groping a girl at a party, and putting your hand over her mouth so she couldn't scream isn't sex. (may be as close as you could get Brett) Sheesh Kavanaugh. You should be smarter than that.
