The drip, drip, drip of Kavanaugh revelations continue.
First, and most significantly, text messages have been revealed showing that Kavanaugh was marshalling a response to Deborah Ramirez before anyone had heard of her, which begs the question: How could he know if, as he has testified, this had never happened?
Also, it appears that he started a bar fight in 1985:
As an undergraduate student at Yale, Brett M. Kavanaugh was involved in an altercation at a local bar during which he was accused of throwing ice on another patron, according to a police report.
The incident, which occurred in September 1985 during Mr. Kavanaugh’s junior year, resulted in Mr. Kavanaugh and four other men being questioned by the New Haven Police Department. Mr. Kavanaugh was not arrested, but the police report stated that a 21-year-old man accused Mr. Kavanaugh of throwing ice on him “for some unknown reason.”
A witness to the fight said that Chris Dudley, a Yale basketball player who is friends with Mr. Kavanaugh, then threw a glass that hit the man in the ear, according to the police report, which was obtained by The New York Times.
The report said that the victim, Dom Cozzolino, “was bleeding from the right ear” and was treated at a hospital. A detective was notified of the incident at 1:20 a.m.
Mr. Dudley denied the accusation, according to the report. For his part, speaking to the officers, Mr. Kavanaugh did not want “to say if he threw the ice or not,” the police report said.
Nope, no indication of a teen drinking problem there.
Neither is his letter to has friends in high school about their weekend getaway which stated that, “Warn the neighbors that we’re loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific pukers among us.”
Nope, no sign of out of control drinking there either.
Also, Chad Ludington Kavanaugh’s Yale roommate, has called him a liar about his drinking in college:
In recent days I have become deeply troubled by what has been a blatant mischaracterization by Brett himself of his drinking at Yale. When I watched Brett and his wife being interviewed on Fox News on Monday, and when I watched Brett deliver his testimony under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, I cringed. For the fact is, at Yale, and I can speak to no other times, Brett was a frequent drinker, and a heavy drinker. I know, because, especially in our first two years of college, I often drank with him. On many occasions I heard Brett slur his words and saw him staggering from alcohol consumption, not all of which was beer. When Brett got drunk, he was often belligerent and aggressive. On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man’s face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail.
I’m beginning to think that if he got drunk, and forcibly buggered Mitch McConnell over his desk on the floor of the Senate, he would still get at least 48 Republican votes, including Mitch McConnel, to confirm him to the Supreme Court.
