The New York Times reported on Sunday that it was unable to corroborate the claims of a second accuser who says Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh exposed himself to her in college.
Deborah Ramirez alleges that Kavanaugh thrust his penis into her face while she was drunk at a Yale University dormitory party. The New Yorker ran with Ramirez’s allegation on Sunday despite being unable to produce any firsthand witnesses or confirm that Kavanaugh was at the party where the incident was said to have occurred.
The New York Times noted several paragraphs deep in a report that it chose not to report on Ramirez’s allegation because of a lack of corroborating evidence.
“The Times had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate her story, and could find no one with firsthand knowledge,” the NYT’s Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Nicholas Fandos reported. “Ms. Ramirez herself contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.”
The Times interviewed dozens to corroborate 2nd allegation against Kavanaugh and could find no one with firsthand knowledge. Ramirez told ex-classmates she couldn’t be certain Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself. @SherylNYT @npfandos https://t.co/lGVc4hJzEU

NYT also noted, “The New Yorker did not confirm with other eyewitnesses that Judge Kavanaugh was at the party.”
In an interview with CBS’ “This Morning” on Monday, Jane Mayer, a co-author on The New Yorker piece, admitted that they had no firsthand witnesses who could confirm Ramirez’s account.

Not so fast, though. There’s more to the story.
I despise the cult of celebrity followed by so many hens, but something did get my attention about this story.
One of the authors, Ronan Farrow, has a past related to the false accusations. According to his mother, he was either the illegitimate son of Woody Allen or Frank Sinatra. According to her statements in the past, it appears that she was unsure.
Woody Allen was accused of doing something preverted to Mia’s daughter, “Dylan.” And so here comes Ronan into the recovered memories/false accusations “industry.”
...or something like that.
Crazy world.
The democrats jumped the shark with creepy porn lawyer and the dildo chick.
Now people see this as the circus that it really is and it discredits Ford as well.
My guess. ...looks like Snotrag, that ethnic dude. Photo...

If Anthony Wiener was up for a vote as SCJ the dims would overwhelmingly vote to confirm.
Heck, if Bill Clinton was up for a vote as SCJ the dims would overwhelmingly vote to confirm.
You haven't corroborated the claims of the first accuser either.
Shame on Farrow!
they cannot corroborate the first story either.
Yeah and didn’t they used to throw them in the river to see if they floated and if so they were witches? Clearly anyone trying to save their own lives is a witch /s
LOL! A game of doctor perhaps? You show me yours I’ll show you mine? This is beyond absurd.
Insane standards; absolutely mental and impossible.
The MSM is the Countrys greatest threat
A random act of Journalism. When the NYT who has spent every second since election night to make Trump look bad you know you are out of touch with anything that can loosely be called a fact.
I don’t think that is what he prefers to suck!
