This guy made some good points I didn't even see before:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/catholic-university-dean-resigns-after-questioning-kavanaugh-accusers-allegations-that-led-to-his-suspension
He was foolish to post his opinion using his formal Twitter account though...that's only tolerated if you're Democrat. He should have known better that freedom of speech only goes one way these days. But he was right on the money. She was 3yrs older than Kavanaugh - she was an adult and Kavanaugh the minor. Yet his life nearly got destroyed and his family got tarnished and troubled. Being Democrat is sweet. you don't have to learn facts, you just shout 'racist' or 'sexist' and off you go and get a TV show with 7-8 figure income. If I had no morals, I'd run some MSNBC morning show and go virtue signaling all day long and enjoy the smell of my own farts while half the country tells me how brave and thoughtful I am.
