For Christ's sake, why would she wait for 40+ years to do anything about it?
This kind of nonsense is unbelievable, IMO.
No one accused Kav of rape.
But, we know Kavanaugh's buddy is lying. First he said he didn't do it and then the next day he says he has no recollection of the night in question. Well which is it? Do you not remember this event or do you remember the night and you say this isn't how it went down?
If Republicans Wanted The Truth About Kavanaugh, They Would Subpoena Mark Judge | HuffPost
Judge responded after being contacted by reporters by
telling The New Yorker on Friday that he had “no recollection” of any such assault. Later that day,
he told The Weekly Standard the accusation is “absolutely nuts,” and claimed, “I never saw Brett act that way.”
Still, Judge
wrote a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday in which he stated he had no intention of cooperating with the committee in any way, while reiterating he had “no memory” of the incident Blasey described.
Here’s Judge’s chance to come to the aid of Kavananah, whom he proudly
referred to in a Facebook update shortly after his school chum was nominated to the Supreme Court in July (quipping that Kavanaugh has “the same hair as the night I met him” in 1981). But he’s completely backing away. Why?
That the question has to be asked at all is the reason why Judge, as well as others who were present at the party Blasey described, must be subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee to testify.
Judge may repeat under oath that he has “no memory” of any sexual assault by Kavanaugh. But he can also be asked questions about Kavanaugh’s behavior in high school, including his drinking habits and partying (Blasey said both Kavanaugh and Judge were drunk during the alleged assault) and whether he and Kavanaugh drank so much in those days that they might not remember a sexual assault.
Judge has written several memoirs, including,
Wasted: Tales of a Gen X Drunk, in which he discussed being a blackout drunk in high school and attending wild parties with his classmates.
What seems evident, however, is that Republicans on the committee know that Judge would be a disaster as a character witness for Kavanaugh. Not only would there be much focus on his writings about being highly intoxicated at high school parties, but it would open Kavanaugh to questions about the slew of other offensive things Judge has written. For instance,
his piece on how some women dressed in a way that might provoke rape
But protecting Kavanaugh from tough questions shouldn’t be the priority here. If Senate Republicans actually cared about getting to the bottom of what happened, they would want Judge’s testimony.
The fact that they don’t, and their rush to make Blasey testify, speaks volumes.
