f*******e 发帖数: 3433 | 1 Fort Worth teacher Mark Rist remembers Kavanaugh from Georgetown Prep as "
very gentle," and Rist said when he first heard Christine Blasey Ford's
allegations, he first thought "this cannot be true," CBS Dallas / Fort Worth
reports.
Not wanting to get into the political thing, [my] thought was simply... this
cannot be true." Rist said students from Georgetown Prep socialized with
students from several other small private schools in the area, and he heard
a lot of gossip as a lunch room monitor and resident advisor. "That's one of
the reasons that I found the allegation... less credible," Rist told CBS
Dallas / Fort Worth. "Simply because they all knew each other... if any of
those kinds of things had happened, that would spread like wildfire."
Rist also said Mark Judge "wouldn't keep his mouth shut about anything."
Rist told CBS Dallas / Fort Worth that Kavanaugh was clearly focused on his
studies and his future. "Brett was one of the few who played sports who was
also at the top of his class."
Rist left Georgetown Prep after a couple years and later spent almost three
decades at Nolan Catholic High School in Fort Worth. He'd all but forgotten
about Kavanaugh until his former student made national news. "I didn't know
the name. And then as soon as I saw the face, it looked familiar."
Rist left Georgetown Prep near the end of June in 1982, so he admits that if
the alleged assault had happened after that, he would not have heard about
it.
Rist said he is not defending his former student, but he says his memories
of the nominee don't match the accusations. "The core of him is integrity --
without trying to sound political -- but the core of him was integrity. And
that's the Brett Kavanaugh that I know." |
