In one of Brett Kavanaugh's responses to allegations that he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl when he was in high school, a charge he has denied "categorically and unequivocally," he suggested that, perhaps, this was a case of mistaken identity.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a member of the Judiciary Committee reiterated this notion, saying that perhaps the accuser was "mixed up." And, on Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal's editorial board also floated the possibility of mistaken identity.

But it turns out that he went to the school twenty years after Kavanaugh and Judge. He says he was tweeting about stories like the one Christine Blasey Ford told, not her story. So for hours, some people thought he was confirming her story and it turns out that he doesn't know anything about it.
They look even more alike now.
