At Hearings, Kav Laughed Off Question RE 'Getting into Trouble' in HS; Implicated Friends
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) questioned Kavanaugh about getting into trouble at the elite all-boys school Georgetown Prep, eliciting nervous laughter. Dodging, Kavanaugh told Kennedy that at Georgetown Prep, I had a lot of friends, Ive talked a lot about my friends. And theyve been here. So it was very formative. When Kennedy pressed his question about trouble, Kavanaugh replied, Thats encompassed by the friends, I think.
Kennedy concluded by saying hes decided to not ask Kavanaugh whether his underage friends were sneaking a few beers past Jesus. Kavanaugh shook his head, said Hey, and giggled again in response someone off-mike saying I want you [Kennedy] to [ask Kavanaugh]).
It is unknown what motivated Kennedys questions at the time, although Kavanaughs close friend and classmate Mike G. Judge recorded in his book Wasted the binge drinking that dominated those years at Georgetown Prep. Similarly, Kavanaughs yearbook entry made repeated references to keg parties and vomiting and more.
