So surprise surprise (hah), another bad allegation has emerged from Kavanaugh's drunken high school and college days. There comes a point wehre "young and foolish" is not a decent defense anymore, and it starts somewhere around when he most likely committed sexual assault, Republicans...
And yes, some Republicans knew about these allegations, and were hoping to confirm him before they got out because who cares about anything he did? They sure don't seem to... But now that a second allegation IS out, they're still planning on confirming him because they won't back down here. He's still likely to get through, but having multiple allegations now makes it harder. I certainly don't want there to be any more victims of his (though apparently there are rumors of at least one more?), but with how much of a drunk he apparently was it sadly wouldn't be surprising if there were.
But seriously, when someone repeatedly perjures themselves in order to avoid answering questions, how was this not a red flag that you should just find someone likely to be just about as awful a juror on the court, but without the massive amounts of crippling baggage Kavanaugh has? It's kind of weird...
