By\u00a0ROD DREHER News tonight from\u00a0The New Yorker<\/em>: a woman claims she was drunk at a college party with Brett Kavanaugh, who pulled his pants down and showed her his wing-wang:<\/a><\/p>\n The woman at the center of the story, Deborah Ramirez, who is fifty-three, attended Yale with Kavanaugh, where she studied sociology and psychology. Later, she spent years working for an organization that supports victims of domestic violence.\u00a0The New Yorker<\/em>\u00a0contacted Ramirez after learning of her possible involvement in an incident involving Kavanaugh. The allegation was conveyed to Democratic senators by a civil-rights lawyer. For Ramirez, the sudden attention has been unwelcome, and prompted difficult choices. She was at first hesitant to speak publicly, partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident. In her initial conversations with\u00a0The New Yorker<\/em>, she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh\u2019s role in the alleged incident with certainty. After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away. Ramirez is now calling for the F.B.I. to investigate Kavanaugh\u2019s role in the incident. \u201cI would think an F.B.I. investigation would be warranted,\u201d she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Kavanaugh says it\u2019s a lie. More from the magazine:<\/p>\n Ramirez acknowledged that there are significant gaps in her memories of the evening, and that, if she ever presents her story to the F.B.I. or members of the Senate, she will inevitably be pressed on her motivation for coming forward after so many years, and questioned about her memory,\u00a0given her drinking at the party.<\/p>\n And yet, after several days of considering the matter carefully, she said, \u201cI\u2019m confident about the pants coming up, and I\u2019m confident about Brett being there.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So the FBI is supposed to investigate whether or not a drunk college boy pulled down his pants at a drunken college party and exposed himself to a college girl who was so drunk that she can\u2019t clearly remember the event, and had to take\u00a0six days<\/em>\u00a0to think about whether or not it actually happened? It was so devastatingly traumatic to her that she had to ponder for a week about whether or not it happened, and whether or not it was Brett Kavanaugh?<\/p>\n This<\/em>\u00a0is what they\u2019re throwing at Brett Kavanaugh now? Even the\u00a0New Yorker<\/em>\u00a0writes that it<\/p>\n has not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was present at the party. The magazine contacted several dozen classmates of Ramirez and Kavanaugh regarding the incident. Many did not respond to interview requests; others declined to comment, or said they did not attend or remember the party.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n But the magazine published the story anyway, because hey, they have a nomination to stop. Disgraceful!<\/p>\n I have never had strong feelings about Kavanaugh\u2019s nomination \u2014 I was an Amy Coney Barrett fan \u2014 but this is infuriating. They\u2019re destroying this man\u2019s reputation publicly, on the flimsiest of evidence.<\/p>\n His nomination may go down. But this will not be forgotten.<\/p>\n UPDATE:<\/strong>\u00a0And now, Stormy Daniels\u2019s lawyer weighs in:<\/p>\n My e-mail of moments ago with Mike Davis, Chief Counsel for Nominations for U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary. We demand that this process be thorough, open and fair, which is what the American public deserves. It must not be rushed and evidence\/witnesses must not be hidden. pic.twitter.com\/11XLZJBTtY<\/a><\/p>\n — Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) September 24, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
