Yet Another Yale Classmate Rebuts Kavanaugh’s Claims as His Credibility Takes Another Hit

“Another Yale Classmate Rebuts Kavanaugh: was he lying then, or last night on Fox? This classmate is now an award-winning history professor,” The New Yorker‘s Jane Mayer pointed out on Twitter Tuesday morning, after Brett Kavanaugh gave a softball interview to Fox News, during which they let him play the victim while he claimed he was a virgin and so couldn’t be a rapist.

The Yale classmate says Kavanaugh told him differently in Lawrance Hall at Yale:

Mayer concludes Kavanaugh either lied his Fox interview or to his classmate, which goes to his credibility:

Of course, the issue of Kavanaugh‘s self-claimed virginity is not the bottom line, but his credibility is. Kavanaugh is the one who brought up his self-claimed virginity, which is at odds with the drunken behavior his own best friend described in a published book.

Brett Kavanaugh‘s Yale roommate James Roche said Tuesday that Brett is capable of sexual assault. ” “Brett was a notably heavy drinker” and that he “became aggressive and belligerent when he was very drunk.”

Furthermore, Roche said of the victim Debbie Ramirez, “Based on my time with Debbie, I believe her to be unusually honest and straightforward and I cannot imagine her making this up. Based on my time with Brett, I believe that he and his social circle were capable of the actions that Debbie described.”

It appears to me after reading numerous accounts of Kavanaugh being two people, one when sober and another when drunk (although I hope he was sober when he wrote in those yearbooks and that gives me pause), as if Kavanaugh has both a drinking and a lying problem. He has lied during confirmation hearings twice now, and now he is spinning yarns about his evangelical virginity to get him out of three accusations of sexual assault of some kind.

Whatever Brett’s problem is, he is a liar and he does not have the temperament for the job for which he is auditioning.

No one wants a SCOTUS judge who whines to Fox News when they are accused of ruining someone’s life. Where is the concern for his alleged victims? Where is his compassion? A judge should have compassion and a sense of personal responsibility. This man his not even really an adult, let alone qualified to be on the Supreme Court — and that is just based on his behavior, not on the merit of the accusations lobbed at him by three women thus far and several Yale classmates.

Brett Kavanaugh is the one who is under the burden of proof here, not the alleged victims. He has to prove his worthy of a lifetime appointment. He is not entitled to it, contrary to his and his Republican buddies’ attitudes.

Republicans made Merrick Garland wait 400 days and then never voted on him. They had no reason other than waiting for an election. They all approved of Garland as a potential judge; he was universally respected. So what’s the rush now.

McConnell keeps whining about Democrats sabotaging regular order, but in truth he is the one who did that by holding Garland up for 400 days for a made up reason so he could hand the open seat to a Republican. And while it would be nice, actually, if Democrats were returning the favor as bullies do not understand fairness, Democrats are not. What they are doing is respecting the wishes of the first victim, and then asking questions about an issue they have shown they care enough about to ask one of their party’s most beloved senators to step down over.

It’s called integrity, but no one expects Senator McConnell to recognize it.
