Senate investigating fifth Brett Kavanaugh accuser who says woman was raped on a boat in Rhode Island

Supreme Court nominee has a fifth accuser, this time from 1985 when he was 20 years old.

According to documents posted by Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Epstein, Kavanaugh was involved in an incident on a boat in a Newport, Rhode Island harbor.

So, for the record, the report from Senator Whitehouse states, “Senator Whitehouse received a call this morning from a Rhode Island constituent [unnamed] who made allegations regarding U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. [Unnamed] reported that early on a Sunday morning in August of 1985, a close acquaintance of the constituent was sexually assaulted by two heavily inebriated men she referred to at the time as Brett and Mark.”

“The event took place on a 36-foot maroon and white boat in the harbor at Newport, Rhode Island, after the three had met at a local bar. According to [unnamed], when he learned of the assault at approximately 5:00 a.m. that same morning, he and another individual went to the harbor, located the boat the victim had described and physically confronted the two men, leaving them with significant injuries,” the statement read.

“[Unnamed] recently realized that one of the men was Brett Kavanaugh when she saw Kavanaugh’s high school yearbook photo on television over the weekend. He promptly reported the incident to our office on Monday Morning, September 24, 2018,” it continued.


Kavanaugh said he has never been on a boat in Newport.

The news comes after a fourth woman was announced. Her mother reached out to the Senate after she and three other women witnessed Kavanaugh slam a woman against a wall outside of a bar in a sexually aggressive way. Kavanaugh denies that as well.

Democrats only focus on allegations with names attached. In other words, GOPers are pushing bullshit.
