William Rainford suspended for tweeting his doubts about Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick
WASHINGTON (ChurchMilitant.com) - A dean at the Catholic University of America (CUA) has been suspended after tweeting in favor of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
William Rainford, dean of the National Catholic School of Social Service (NCSSS), tweeted on Sept. 26 from his official university Twitter account:
Swetnick is 55 y/o, Kavanaugh is 52 y/o. Since when do senior girls hang with freshmen boys? If it happened when Kavanaugh was a senior, Swetnick was an adult drinking with&by her admission, having sex with underage boys. In another universe, he would be victim & she the perp!
The tweet caused a firestorm of backlash among CUA students, and Rainford deleted the tweet amid the blowback and went on to issue an apology. CUA officials suspended Rainford from the position of dean for the rest of the semester.
The NCSSS dean's tweet was referring to the salacious allegation of Julie Swetnick, who claims she was at parties where a teenaged Kavanaugh would "drink excessively and engage in highly inappropriate conduct, including being overly aggressive with girls and not taking 'No' for an answer."

Inmates running the asylum.
That's the second post saying that, but I'm curious, why is it not a university?
Ridiculous.
The Dean is spot on; I can still see the school preferring it not to go out on an official twitter account, though I am not sure why a Dean, or any senior administrative official, should even have an official twitter account.

The pot calling the kettle black.
Catholic University has rejected the function of the University which is the unencumbered pursuit of knowledge and truth.
It has degenerated into a totalitarian leftist reeducation camp where only the mindlessly repeating of accepted doctrine is permitted.
The fatal mistake. Never apologize. Damn the torpedos.
