Jane Mayer said on Monday that Deborah Ramirez, who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexually harassing her, told her New Yorker colleague Ronan Farrow that she couldn’t be sure of the Supreme Court nominee’s guilt.
Confronted with a New York Times report indicating Ramirez expressed doubts about Kavanaugh’s guilt to former Yale classmates, Mayer said Ramirez shared those doubts before they published their bombshell report on Sunday.
“To Ronan she said she wasn’t absolutely certain, she needed to make certain before she was going to say anything publicly. She remembered the specifics, the graphic specifics, and she tried to remember for sure who that man was who was in her face,” she told MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.“With all due respect to the New York Times, which is the best paper in America, just because they couldn’t get the story and speak to her or find the person that we found, who remembered it from back then, doesn’t mean it’s not true.”
Ramirez, who opted to come forward after learning Senate Democrats were independently investigating the incident, claims Kavanaugh drunkenly thrust his penis in her face during a dorm party at Yale when he was a freshman.
Kavanaugh has vigorously denied the charge and painted it as a politically motivated smear in the same vein as the allegation that he pinned down Christine Blasey Ford and tried to remove her clothing when they were in high-school.
There are no eyewitness accounts included in the story and several of Kavanaugh’s friends and roommates from his time at Yale, some of whom were said to have been in the room, released a statement denying that the assault ever took place.
Ford and Kavanaugh are scheduled to testify publicly before the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday.
Slander is spoken, libel is written..................
I’m very aware of the difference. And each has been done.
Freepers: “We’re Not Sure If The Story About Jane Mayer Fellating Syph-ridden Lepers Is True, Or Not”
It’s a twofer!...................
Some of the falsehoods have been by mouth and some in writing, by different entities.
Anonymous sources says its true!...............
I wonder if all Condé Nast magazines (owner of the New Yorker) lie about their advertisers’ products the same as they did about Brett? Maybe it’s time to call the advertisers and ask why should I buy your product since we know that the New Yorker lies in their stories and I am concerned maybe also in the ads.
I have. Not fun. Don’t do it anymore.
Good news: at that point, getting your schmeckle out of your fly is an engineering feet beyond your ability. This is what leads to so much wetting of trou following those sorts of events. Passing out too.
Thanks.
Is a character assassination accusation ok because the accuser says that she’s not sure it was the person she is accusing. How can any woman who cares about any male ... husband, father, friend, son, etc, vote for a Dem in Nov. ?
Mia Farrow was the village bicycle. Ronans dad could be just about anybody.

We must learn to give back to the Dems who have dished out so much. It’s only fair.
Roast the Dems alive and enjoy it.
Prayers up for Brett Kavanaugh and his loved ones.
She wasn’t sure until the demonrats got hold of her.
I’m sure she’s a liar.
The most astonishing thing about Ms. Ramirez's story is that, if any of it occurred, she is the perpetrator and the person, if any, who chose to expose themselves at the party is the victim. As crude as it might be, among adults at a party someone exposing themselves is not a crime. But Ms. Ramirez stated that she touched the genitals of the person who was nude. That act is a sexual assault, unless the person she touched consented to the contact.
You read my mind...
Really? If it was anywhere but in his own room, it would count as indecent exposure in some states, a misdemeanor crime. It could be trouble for the exposer if the woman, a college freshman was a minor.
But Ms. Ramirez stated that she touched the genitals of the person who was nude. That act is a sexual assault, unless the person she touched consented to the contact.
I doubt a court would take that very seriously.
“I have never been so drunk I could not remember where or what happened.............unfortunately.................”
Unfortunately I HAVE been that drunk but I never made trouble for any of the women who took advantage of me when I was as drunk as a skunk.
Hulk style.
