Charles Ludington, a classmate and friend of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh at Yale, told the Washington Post that Kavanaugh was an “aggressive” drunk who once started a fight that landed a mutual friend in jail.
“When Brett got drunk, he was often belligerent and aggressive,” Ludington said in a statement. “On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man’s face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail.”
Ludington added that he does not think “heavy drinking” or “loutish behavior” done in youth should haunt Kavanaugh forever, but he was disturbed when he watched Kavanaugh’s performance before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“If he lied about his past actions on national television, and more especially while speaking under oath in front of the United States Senate, I believe those lies should have consequences,” Ludington told the Post.
Ludington is not Kavanaugh’s only Yale classmate to publicly contradict his testimony about his collegiate behavior.
On Saturday, classmate Liz Swisher said that she did not find his answers during the hearing “credible.” Kavanaugh’s freshman roommate James Roche said last week that he was a “notably heavy drinker” and also said that he was “aggressive” and “belligerent” when drunk.
Well if someone went to jail, then there might be a police report that will back up that the event happened, though it might not contain Kavanaugh’s name in it.
Sure does seem like a lot of people saying Kavanaugh lied under oath about his drinking habits.
Those guys had no idea they were looking at a future SC justice.
Not surprising after Kavanaugh went all Full Monty with his lies before the committee hearings.
eta - meaning - it’s the risk taken - that folks who know better, will tell.
GET OUT THE HOOK! Totally disqualifying!
