Graham Goes Too Far in Kavanaugh’s Defense
Sen. Lindsey Graham went beyond what is publicly known about an accusation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was involved in a sexual assault as a teenager, saying “everybody named in regard to being there said it didn’t happen.”
It’s true that all four of the people Christine Blasey Ford has identified as being in the house that night she says she was assaulted have said they don’t recall the incident, or even being there. But not all of them said it didn’t happen.
Kavanaugh says it didn’t happen. And Mark Judge, who Ford says was in the room during the assault, says, “I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes.”
The other two identified by Ford as being in the house that night, but who were not said to have witnessed the alleged assault, also said they had no recollection of being at such a gathering. But they didn’t go so far as to say, “It didn’t happen.” In fact, one of she believes Ford’s allegation.
