A man who attended Yale University with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh went on the record on Sunday accusing Kavanaugh of "mischaracterizing" his alcohol consumption during last week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
Chad Ludington in an interview with The New York Times said he saw Kavanaugh "staggering from alcohol consumption" multiple times, describing him as a "belligerent and aggressive" drunk.
"It is truth that is at stake, and I believe that the ability to speak the truth, even when it does not reflect well upon oneself, is a paramount quality we seek in our nation’s most powerful judges,” Ludington said in a statement, according to the Times.
Ludington said Kavanaugh during the hearing downplayed the "degree and frequency" of his drinking. He told the Times that the FBI has asked him to share his story at the bureau's Raleigh, N.C., office on Monday.
It is unclear if his testimony will play a role in the week-long FBI investigation into allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh, the Times reported.
Several other classmates in recent days have accused Kavanaugh of misleading Congress over his alcohol consumption. Former FBI Director James Comey in a Times op-ed published Sunday charged Kavanaugh with "lying" under oath.
Kavanaugh throughout the hearing insisted that he has never blacked out or passed out due to alcohol consumption.
Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing him of assaulting her in 1982, has said that Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge were intoxicated during the incident.
Kavanaugh told outside counsel Rachel Mitchell during the hearing that he has never "passed out" from drinking.
"I’ve gone to sleep," he said. "But I’ve never blacked out, that’s the allegation. And that’s, that’s wrong."
Kavanaugh appeared agitated by questions from Democratic senators about his history with partying and drinking, at one point asking Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) if she has ever blacked out due to alcohol consumption.
"I like beer,” he said in response to one of Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s (D-R.I.) questions. “Do you like beer, senator? What do you like to drink?"
He said repeatedly that he likes beer but does not drink heavily.
The FBI probe will last a week and investigate Ford's allegation as well as claims from Deborah Ramirez, who has accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself without her consent during a Yale University party in the 1980s.
Ramirez reportedly spoke to the FBI on Sunday.
So friggin’ what? Is there a college grad here who never went to a beer bash? (Excluding Liberty College and Pensacola Bible College?)
Obama was a drug user, yet they worship the ground he walks on.
When the senator suggested the Devils Triangle was not a drinking game but was a threesome Kavanaugh should have said “No senator that is a waitress sandwich, just ask senators Kennedy and Dodd.”
Flake worries me. The other two will vote for Kavanaugh.
College drinking stories .
The Slimes and
The Shill are beyond desperate .
The left wing media look ridiculous and beyond mentally ill .
As the late great Jimmy Durante said...”Everybody wants to get into the act!”
Is this Chad guy one of the roomates of BK? BK said that there was other stuff going on there, and that they were not friends. IIRC BK said he spent a lot of time in the library, I don’t recall if that had anything to do with the roomate.
I never heard that in the “Mil”.
You making stuff up again cause you dont like what you read
We all know how ridiculous it is but remember, trying to get the RINOs on board to vote yes..are they going to vote for a SC Justice that stumbled around drunk on campus and maybe assaulted women. That’s all they’ll need to vote no.
Sure sure
And in the 35 years since Yale and 6 background investigations no one ever reported Kavanaugh as a heavy drinker....
This turd is a liar and desperate for fame .
No one recalls 30 years ago partying .
I would not believe much from this loser .
Funny. Once Kavanaugh admitted to drinking a few beers in highschool, that has become the new angle of attack: he was a falling-down drunk in school.
So did Trumps’ older brother which is why Trump doesn’t drink.
Well, we knew this was coming.....
Is that the pear-shaped leftist pajama boy wanna-be?
Chad appears to be your typical public employee loser whose career was mediocre from the start. This fatso LIB lunatic should be sued for slander. What a poofer.
This is his gay roommate isn’t it? He is lying.
Is anyone else surprised that they did not asked if he ever used drugs or smoked pot.
