Kavanaugh: I was a virgin through high school and college

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Monday defended himself against the sexual assault allegations roiling his nomination by saying he was a virgin through high school and college.

"We’re talking about an allegation of sexual assault," Kavanaugh said in a clip released from his interview on Fox News Channel's "The Story with Martha MacCallum."

"I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone," Kavanaugh said. "I did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter ... The girls from the schools I went to, and I, were friends."

"Through all these years that were in question, you were a virgin?" Fox News host Martha MacCallum asked.

"That’s correct," Kavanaugh replied, adding that he did not have sex until "many years after" college.

Neither of the two accusations regarding Kavanaugh involve sexual intercourse. Christine Blasey Ford is alleging Kavanaugh held her down and groped her over her clothes during a high school party in 1982, and Deborah Ramirez claims he exposed himself without her consent during a gathering at Yale University a few years later.

Fox News released clips from the interview throughout the evening on Monday.

At another point in the interview, Kavanaugh vowed he is "not going anywhere" despite the allegations.

"I’m not going to let false accusations drive us out of this process," he said, sitting beside his wife as she nodded.

Kavanaugh during the interview denied attending the party in Ford's account.

"[I am] not questioning and have not questioned that perhaps Dr. Ford at some point in her life was sexually assaulted by someone at some place but what I know is I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone," he said.

Ford has stated that she is sure Kavanaugh was the man who allegedly assaulted her in an episode that she says has caused her decades of emotional trauma.

The full interview is scheduled to air at 7 p.m. EST.

[Godebert]

You’re a disgrace.

[Mr Rogers]

I was too. Baptist who believes the Bible. Don’t care who doesn’t like it or thinks it makes me a failure. Been married 30+ years now, 3 kids, 4 grandkids. Don’t feel any need to apologize!

[Impala64ssa]

when you take a look at those ugly greasy gals like Ford, I can see why a guy may not want to expend any energy.
In that regard, to a very small extent I can understand why Slick Willie messed around. Having to hop in the sack with that screeching harridan, it wouldn't surprise me if Chelsea really is Webb Hubbel's daughter.

[Pravious]

This Fox News interview is horrible.

This garbage shouldn’t even be taken seriously enough to discuss - much less for Martha MacCallum to sit there and grill this guy over and publicly make him repeatedly deny that he set up serial rapes, etc.

[hsmomx3]

Good for you.

Martha needs to lay off the sex and virgin stuff.

This guy is credible and decent.

[blueyon]

I admire him..........even more now

[glenduh]

“-why disclose it now?”

Michael Avenatti?

[Lagmeister]

Pattern of behavior. A male not having sex until years after college will not do the things they accuse him of. Low sex drive... it happens.

[gundog]

After this, good people are gonna run for the hills if Trump offers them a seat on the Supreme Court.

[Simon Green]

I was a virgin through high school and college myself. Not for any particular moral/religions reason, but simply because (being shy, overweight and a classic "nerd") I never had a girlfriend.

I'm certainly not going to hold it against the man.

[Blue Highway]

Not according to Jeff Sessions who said he will not prosecute anyone even close to Hillary.

[Cold Heart]

There is a thread posted after this one called “Satan’s desire to sift us” Mentions times of “false accusers”
What a coincidence

[Godebert]

"I don’t think he cares what his family has had to go through, the death threats, etc.."

Did you really just say that?

[familyop]

Good that Judge Kavanaugh didn’t have intercourse before marriage. That’s wise. But MacCallum’s feminist choice of word was grotesque.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Who is this @ssholes Yalie roommate of Kavanaugh who is saying “I could see Brett doing that”? I know most Yalies are scum, but this is unconscionable.

What happened to “innocent until proven guilty”?

[Repeal The 17th]

“...It might be interesting, however, if there were any medical records to prove this ...”
-
Medical records of what?

[evangmlw]

That’s what the man said, and none of his lady friends that I’ve seen interviewed have stated anything different.

[Sarah Barracuda]

geez stupid auto correct that s what happened didn’t even realize it til u pointed it out

[Truth29]

"What kind of medical records would those be?"

Patient histories, Doctor questions and answers, perhaps over time with different health providers, etc.
