Another Yale Classmate Rebuts Kavanaugh: was he lying then, or last night on Fox? This classmate is now an award-winning history professor.

Perhaps Brett Kavanaugh was a virgin for many years after high school. But he claimed otherwise in a conversation with me during our freshman year in Lawrance Hall at Yale, in the living room of my suite.

(33,356 posts)The two do not appear to be mutually exclusive. Kavanaugh did not necessarily tell the classmate the truth any more than he told Fox the truth. Likely, he embellished his exploits then, depending on his audience, and now denies the embellished versions and the accused versions.
I think he lies just because he's gotten away with it in the past.

(6,855 posts)This guy is prurient and f'd up in so many ways. I thought originally that he was (1) mean; (2) not bright; and (3) ridiculously conservative. I now think that he is not human.

(51,132 posts)Like he's so virtuous, but he's also admitting to having sex out of wedlock before he got married at 39. I'm waiting for the women he managed to have consensual sex with to come forward.
I'd question him more closely on exactly WHEN and WHERE he popped his cherry..... If he couldn't answer immediately he's a fucking liar. For a guy who supposedly saved himself from underage, casual sex, finally getting laid would have been a momentous occasion (even if it only lasted a minute). And questions like these are not out of line thanks to Kavanaugh setting the bar for offensive questions during the Clinton debacle.
P.S. Wonder how he noted the big event on his beloved calendar?

(33,956 posts)That if you pray enough...you can get your virginity back. I suspect that this is what he is going to rebut these claims with.
He is reborn and forgiven and nothing else counts.

Obviously the same veins of hypocrisy run in the other holier-than-thou cults.

(61,695 posts)He could have unzipped and forcibly wiggled his "little finger" in the faces of every woman in the dorm and remained a virgin.
Tearing the clothes off of Dr. Ford, while suppressing her screams, didn't cause him to lose his virginity, but it was assault.

(31,261 posts)I just don't see the best friend of a guy who admitted being involved in at least one gang rape not being involved. He hung out with Judge and got girls drunk with him. It presses rationality that if he got girls drunk with a guy that gang raped drunken girls, that somehow Kavanaugh avoided all of that.
Ilsa
(61,695 posts)but it seems pretty obvious. I doubt he was simply a watcher.

(31,261 posts)The activities of Judge seemed so PERVASIVE, and Kavanaugh was his best bud.

(31,261 posts)They may have found all the problems that are cropping up, gave the info to the White House and that info got buried.

(15,306 posts)I absolutely know that there are many more records of interactions between the major players that are waiting to come out. Maybe later in book form but preferably earlier before we get another RW raping robot from the fedsocs installed.
