发帖数: 61690 | 1 The White House on Monday blasted out two statements from men who attended
college with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, both of whom claim they
never saw Kavanaugh black out from drinking.
The White House released the statements from Dan Murphy and Chris Dudley,
Kavanaugh's former suitemate and classmate respectively, as a growing number
of Kavanaugh's old Yale University classmates have publicly accused him of
mischaracterizing his drinking during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
These classmates in interviews have accused Kavanaugh of being an aggressive
and heavy drinker in college.
Both Murphy and Dudley have defended Kavanaugh in previous statements to
news outlets.
"I was one of Brett’s roommates or suite mates for most of our time at Yale
," Murphy wrote in the statement. "Along with our other suite mates, I not
only socialized with Brett, but I was there with him at the end of the night
when we came home, and there in the morning when we got up."
"I never saw Brett black out or not be able to remember the prior evening’s
events, nor did I ever see Brett act aggressive, hostile, or in a sexually
aggressive manner to women," he added.
Dudley in his statement said he drank with Kavanaugh in college but "never
ever saw Brett blackout."
"The person sometimes being described in the press is not the Brett
Kavanaugh that I have known as a good friend for 35 years," Dudley wrote. "
The person they are trying to describe would not be able to function day to
day."
Murphy and Dudley's accounts stand in contrast to statements from Chad
Ludington, a former Yale classmate of Kavanaugh's who spoke to the FBI on
Monday about seeing Kavanaugh "staggering from alcohol consumption."
Ludington in his recounting accused Kavanaugh of being a "belligerent and
aggressive" who drank frequently.
Kavanaugh's former Yale University roommate also spoke to The Cut, claiming
Kavanaugh often became "incoherently drunk" in college.
Murphy has also denied the allegation from Deborah Ramirez, the woman
accusing Kavanaugh of exposing himself without her consent and shoving his
penis in her face during a college party in the 1980s.
Another former Yale classmate, Lynne Brookes, in an interview last week said
she saw both Kavanaugh and Dudley drink excessively.
"I studied really hard too," Brookes told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "I went to
Wharton Business School. I went to Yale. I drank to excess many nights with
Brett Kavanaugh. The two are not mutually exclusive."
Kavanaugh's former drinking habits have come under scrutiny after he claimed
before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week that he has never blacked
out from drinking. He stated multiple times during his testimony that he
likes beer, but emphasized he did not consume alcohol to excess.
Both Ramirez and Christine Blasey Ford have accused Kavanaugh of sexual
misconduct while he was intoxicated. |
