Correct, people who knew about it and knew exactly what had happened right afterwards. Of course the people at the party laughing about it would deny it happened.

Have we heard from Flake, Collins and Murkowski since these new allegations dropped?

Remember in the 80s when every day worker and their brother was being accused of Satan worshipping? Craziness and people used the same justification then as they're using now - using the number of accusations as "proof" the claims were true. Whelp, it turned out it was a touch of mass hysteria along with flat out lying. Why did those people do that? Who knows but it does happen and especially so where there's this piling on effect from the media much like we saw in the 80s.

When indisputable evidence of such allegations is provided.

Remember the documented statistic... 41% of rapes reported to and recorded by law enforcement agencies are false accusations.

And he denies even doing THAT!
This is so beyond ridiculous...
Nonsense, most boys are taught right from wrong and they know that sexually assaulting girls is wrong.

I quote from the NYtimes:

The Times had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate her story, and could find no one with firsthand knowledge. Ms. Ramirez herself contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.

Which is why they passed on the story as the New Yorker should have done. This story has hurt and will hurt Farrow's credibility as a journalist. He's now just digging the hole deeper by defending it on so many media outlets.

Sexual assault isn't like satanic worship claims. Many many many women have been sexually assaulted.

Bill Cosby is being sentenced today. Maybe he is innocent too and being witch hunted.
