If anyone wasnt on too Avenatti before this, the whole thing should be pretty obvious now, the guy is looking for publicity any way he can find it and he doesnt seem to give two shits about how low he has to sink to get it.
"Birds of a feather" i guess. You could easily argue avenatti took it alot further though, falsely accusing someone of being a gang rapist for publicity is pretty much the lowest of the low.
Except it wasn't proven to be false. Accusing Obama of being a secret foreign muslim with no college degree was just as low, and that was refuted using multiple sources.
Accusing obama of coming from kenya is alot less offensive than accusing someone of being a gang rapist, there is no one who is a rational human being who would think Swetnick's claim was credible, even NBC ripped her to shreds, if i was a dem i would hate how Avenatti cost me the supreme court, he was the one who turned it into a circus, and probably pushed the republicans who were on the edge over it.
Nothing changes. Foresight and "The b.s. artist formerly known as Ricter" double down on stupid every chance they get.
I'm sure the republicans would've had a change of heart had it not been for Swetnicks unproven allegations. For demanding Kavanaugh be innocent until proven guilty, you sure don't seem to give this lady the same benefit of the doubt. You also think a devil's triangle is a drinking game? FWIW, CNBC did not shred her, but merely asked for clarification on the "spiking the punch" bit and her past legal history. For being a new member, you sure know a lot about these older members...hell I'm not even old enough her to know this Ricter fella. Nothing changes, alt accounts keep getting created when everyone adds the loonies to their ignore list.
Yes, it was corroborated by seven of his classmates, even left wing Politico issued a retraction on it.
Was not aware that had been backed up. Still would've been nice to have that on an FBI record and/or affidavit: https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/04/politics/georgetown-prep-devils-triangle/index.html specially since other classmates dispute it: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/28/us/politics/brett-kavanaugh-fact-check.html This is disputed. “Boofed” in the 1980s was a term that often referred to anal sex, and that is how Judge Kavanaugh’s classmates said they interpreted his comment. They said they had never heard it used to refer to flatulence. Similarly, they said that they had never heard of a drinking game called Devil’s Triangle, but that the phrase was regularly used to describe sex between two men and a woman. “The explanation of Devil’s Triangle does not hold water for me,” said William Fishburne, who managed the football team during Judge Kavanaugh’s senior year. “Our senior yearbook pages were a place to have a little bit of fun with commemorating inside jokes,” said Bill Barbot, who overlapped with Judge Kavanaugh at Georgetown Prep, an all-boys Catholic school. “However, the spin that Brett was putting on it was a complete overstatement of the innocence with which they were intended.”
This story was one of many definite lowlights over the course of the process, but to give you an example of how words, and "Slang" changes over time, my mom, proclaimed one time that 2 people according to TMZ had "Boinked" i just started laughing at how funny it sounded. WTF does "Boinked" mean........ Im pretty sure you wouldnt know the slang that went around in my highschool, just as i wouldnt know the slang in yours, thats why it was a dangerous assumption on the medias part. The media had an assumption going in, and they were going to prove it one way or the other. Thats why they went with shoddy 3rd rate lawyers like Avenatti, and he was able to take full advantage of it.
