(1,148 posts)He said that weekday gatherings don't show the people Blasey Ford mentioned - not true!
He also said those people "refuted" her - not true!
There are so many lies it's not even funny.

(10,952 posts)He says the legal drinking age was 18 and that Seniors could legally drink. It was 21. If he will lie about something that can be easily proven one way or the other, what else did he lie about?
I wish that the interviewer gave a list of known lies that Kavanaugh spun in the hearings and then ask Flake why he did not already find him unacceptable for a seat on the US SC?

Also look at his comments regarding Dr. Christine Blassey Ford. He states he never assualted Dr. Ford. You see, he assualted Christine Blassey. He is scum of the fucking earth and he and his scum of the fucking earth buddies will laugh at how cute he was if he survives.

(1,533 posts)That is true, but it has nothing to do with if HE was legal to drink. He wasn't. He was still 17 when the age was raised. He wasn't legal most of the time he was in college either.

Yeah, right
If you believe Flake, I have a bridge I'll sell you

(17,984 posts)How many lies are sufficient to sink K? And what kind of lies? Everyone knows he lied about the little stuff: the drinking and the slang words in the yearbook. Does that count as "lies" to the Rs? I bet it doesn't.
