Proof? I didn’t think so...
He bragged about his drinking till he pukes in his yearbook.
So... Where is the proof of the “lie”?
One man's passing out is another man's street nap.
Kavanaugh claims he never passed out from drinking, just ‘fell asleep’
Mitchell then asked if Kavanaugh ever drank so much that he passed out, and that’s when Kavanaugh’s hemming and hawing began.
“Passed out would be, no,” he said. “
But I’ve gone to sleep. But I’ve never blacked out, that’s the allegation. And that’s wrong.”
It’s unclear what distinction Kavanaugh seems to think exists between “passing out” and “falling asleep,” but he has a well-documented record of lying about his alcohol consumption. During his interview on Fox News earlier this week, Kavanaugh denied drinking while underage, telling host Martha McCallum that high school seniors were old enough to buy and consume alcohol in Maryland when the drinking age was 18 years old.
Except as Vox pointed out, Kavanaugh didn’t turn 18 until after Maryland had raised the drinking age to 21. At no point during his high school career was he of legal drinking age in Maryland. And his self-portrayal as a responsible drinker is
disputed not just by
multiple people who knew him in his college years and recall incidents of him drinking to excess, but by his own yearbook entry in which he
described himself as treasurer of the “Keg City Club.”
