Pervert Kavanookie became even more Trump-like yesterday, in that he has another victim and probably two more claiming #METOO.  At Yale, he stuck his penis in the face of fellow law student Deborah Ramirez.  She had to touch it to shove it away, a big deal for a young Catholic virgin.  Both Senate Democrats and Republicans learned about it last week.  The Democrats waited, out of respect for the victim, until she was sure.  The Republicans went into high gear to try to intimidate Christine and get their Pervert confirmed before additional victims could muddy the waters.<\/font><\/p>\n

[A]s Senate Republicans press for a swift vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump\u2019s nominee to the Supreme Court, Senate Democrats are investigating a new allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh. The claim dates to the 1983-84 academic school year, when Kavanaugh was a freshman at Yale University. The offices of at least four Democratic senators have received information about the allegation, and at least two have begun investigating it. Senior Republican staffers also learned of the allegation last week and, in conversations with The New Yorker, expressed concern about its potential impact on Kavanaugh\u2019s nomination. Soon after, Senate Republicans issued renewed calls to accelerate the timing of a committee vote<\/strong>. The Democratic Senate offices reviewing the allegations believe that they merit further investigation. \u201cThis is another serious, credible, and disturbing allegation against Brett Kavanaugh. It should be fully investigated,\u201d Senator Mazie Hirono, of Hawaii, said. An aide in one of the other Senate offices added, \u201cThese allegations seem credible, and we\u2019re taking them very seriously. If established, they\u2019re clearly disqualifying.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman at the center of the story, Deborah Ramirez, who is fifty-three, attended Yale with Kavanaugh, where she studied sociology and psychology. Later, she spent years working for an organization that supports victims of domestic violence. The New Yorker contacted Ramirez after learning of her possible involvement in an incident involving Kavanaugh. The allegation was conveyed to Democratic senators by a civil-rights lawyer. For Ramirez, the sudden attention has been unwelcome, and prompted difficult choices. She was at first hesitant to speak publicly, partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident. In her initial conversations with The New Yorker, she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh\u2019s role in the alleged incident with certainty. After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away<\/strong>. Ramirez is now calling for the F.B.I. to investigate Kavanaugh\u2019s role in the incident. \u201cI would think an F.B.I. investigation would be warranted,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Kavanaugh wrote, \u201cThis alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Furthermore, it’d quite apparent that Mark Judge’s denials in support of his partner in abuse were lies.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0924Judge\"Ford\u2019s allegation has made Judge a potentially pivotal witness for Kavanaugh. Judge told The New Yorker that he had \u201cno recollection\u201d of such an incident. Judge, who is a conservative writer<\/strong>, later gave an interview to The Weekly Standard in which he called Ford\u2019s allegation \u201cjust absolutely nuts,\u201d adding, \u201cI never saw Brett act that way.\u201d Asked by the interviewer whether he could remember any \u201csort of rough-housing with a female student back in high school\u201d that might have been \u201cinterpreted differently by parties involved,\u201d Judge told the publication, \u201cI can\u2019t. I can recall a lot of rough-housing with guys.\u201d He added, \u201cI don\u2019t remember any of that stuff going on with girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

After seeing Judge\u2019s denial, Elizabeth Rasor, who met Judge at Catholic University and was in a relationship with him for about three years, said that she felt morally obligated to challenge his account that \u201c \u2018no horseplay\u2019 took place at Georgetown Prep with women.\u201d Rasor stressed that \u201cunder normal circumstances, I wouldn\u2019t reveal information that was told in confidence,\u201d but, she said, \u201cI can\u2019t stand by and watch him lie.\u201d In an interview with The New Yorker, she said, \u201cMark told me a very different story.\u201d Rasor recalled that Judge had told her ashamedly of an incident that involved him and other boys taking turns having sex with a drunk woman. Rasor said that Judge seemed to regard it as fully consensual. She said that Judge did not name others involved in the incident, and she has no knowledge that Kavanaugh participated. But Rasor was disturbed by the story and noted that it undercut Judge\u2019s protestations about the sexual innocence of Georgetown Prep.<\/strong> (Barbara Van Gelder, an attorney for Judge, said that he \u201ccategorically denies\u201d the account related by Rasor. Van Gelder said that Judge had no further comment.)… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And if that wasn’t enough…<\/font><\/p>\n

To add to the mix, Stormy Daniels attorney Michael Avanatti tweeted<\/a> Sunday night "I represent a woman with credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh and Mark Judge<\/strong>." That woman, he said in a follow-up tweet<\/a> "is not Deborah Ramirez." He says he and his client will "be demanding the opportunity to present testimony to the committee and will likewise be demanding that Judge and others be subpoenaed to testify<\/strong>. The nomination must be withdrawn."… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With all this on the horizon, is anyone surprised that the Republican Reich it trying to get their Pervert confirmed before the evidence against him becomes too widespread?  I’m not, and the lack of surprise is the most disgusting part of this story.<\/font><\/p>\n
