    But... all the named witnesses did deny that the event took place.

      And yet nobody seems to recall many of these events taking place. It almost as if these accusations are totally made up and invented, to make it appear that totally normal, young man adventures, are sinister.

        But you'll not man up and provide the actual source, eh? Not that I don't trust you, but you're so seldom right that I think the rest of us would like to see it for ourselves.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          He's trying so hard to protect his source - "LiberalTalkingPointsForIdiots*". He's already exposed them at least once before.

            Even if someone did say that quote exactly as Jimmy claims, it doesn't necessarily mean what Jimmy claims it means.

              Which is why he's cowardly hiding the context.

                2020 Dems Assail Kavanaugh Despite NYT Story Correction

                On Sunday, the New York Times walked back and significantly revised the latest incendiary allegation against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, but the unusual correction to a central part of its bombshell story seemed to mean little to the field of 2020 Democratic presidential contenders.

                Sen. Kamala Harris had “pinned” her weekend reaction to the story — a call for Kavanaugh’s impeachment — to the top of her Twitter page, the social media equivalent of running a banner headline about a position on a high-priority issue.

                “I sat through those hearings,” Harris tweeted. “Brett Kavanaugh lied to the U.S. Senate and most importantly to the American people. He was put on the Court through a sham process and his place on the Court is an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice. He must be impeached.”

                Harris’ Tweet was still there by Monday night, without qualification, despite a fierce bipartisan backlash against the Times’ initial reporting of the uncorroborated sexual misconduct allegation, and the Gray Lady’s clumsy efforts to correct its original reporting about it.

                The controversy began Saturday when the Times ran a “news analysis” piece by Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, adapted from their forthcoming book, “The Education of Brett Kavanaugh.”

                The wide-ranging story included a seemingly new allegation — that a Kavanaugh classmate at Yale, nonprofit CEO Max Stier, “saw Kavanaugh with his pants down at a drunken dorm party, where friends pushed his penis into the hand of a female student.”

                Late Sunday, the Times updated the Kavanaugh story with an “editor’s note” acknowledging that the alleged victim of the incident had declined to be interviewed and several friends had said she did not recall the alleged misconduct.


                By the way, got any proof of that whopper you told actually being true?

                  And wasn't Max Stier a Clinton impeachment defense lawyer while Kavanaugh worked with Ken Starr? Right, no agenda here...

                    • U.S.—Many on the right have reacted with outrage to The New York Times on its story about Brett Kavanaugh where it basically made up a new charge against him. This is being looked at as hypocrisy, though, as many of those same people enjoy it when Christian satire site The Babylon Bee makes things up.

                      “How amusing. How droll,” said conservative Reginald P. Merriwether in reaction to a Babylon Bee article about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “This is something slightly dumber than what Ocasio-Cortez would actually do. What entertaining malarky.” But when Merriwether read the Times article reporting on a fabricated incident involving Kavanaugh that was not backed up by the alleged victim, his reaction was quite different. “This is malfeasance!” Merriwether exclaimed.

The — if that — that had happened, that would have been the talk of campus in our freshman dorm. The New York Times reported that as recently as last week, she was calling other classmates seeking to — well, I’m not going to characterize it — but calling classmates last week and just seemed very — I’ll just stop there. But that’s not true. That’s not true."

                        Kavanaugh: "Yes, that — that is emphatically what I’m saying; emphatically. The Swetnick thing is a joke. That is a farce."

                        More Kavanaugh: "I’m painfully aware, for my family and me to read about this breathless reporting."

                              I think he was using the doctored version from LiberalTalkingPointsForDummies, which is why he couldn't give the source.

                              I expect he'll double down, though, claiming Kavanaugh slipped up by admitting there actually was a room, and witnesses, and Ramirez was there, and....
