Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath and according to Senator Jeff Flake and Senator Chris Coons, if he lied under oath his nomination is history. Flake will most likely ignore and confirm, but this development will be difficult one to ignore.
An associate professor at North Carolina State University and a former Yale classmate of Kavanaugh, Charles Ludington, is prepared to detail Kavanaugh’s violent drunken behavior to the FBI. What he says ain’t pretty:
Charles Ludington, a former varsity basketball player and friend of Kavanaugh’s at Yale, told The Washington Post on Sunday that he plans to deliver a statement to the FBI field office in Raleigh on Monday detailing violent drunken behavior by Kavanaugh in college.
Ludington, an associate professor at North Carolina State University, provided a copy of the statement to The Post.
In it, Ludington says in one instance, Kavanaugh initiated a fight that led to the arrest of a mutual friend: “When Brett got drunk, he was often belligerent and aggressive. 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 says he was deeply troubled by Kavanaugh appearing to blatantly mischaracterize his drinking in Senate testimony.
Belligerent, aggressive, hostile—all of Kavanaugh’s attributes that were on full display during last week’s hearing. Remember that Dr. Ford said Kavanuagh was drunk when the sexual assault happened. What Ludington describes confirms Ford’s account of her assault at the hands of Kavanaugh. Lack of judicial temperament alone should disqualify this partisan hack.
Professor Ludington has absolutely nothing to gain by sharing his experiences of Kavanaugh. Professor Ludington was obviously shocked by Kavanaugh lies about his drinking, like many of us here were.
Ludington is telling the truth, as is Dr. Ford. Kavanaugh’s unhinged performance at the hearing last week confirms it. The morally corrupt GOP is hell bent on ignoring these facts. Make them all pay on November 6th. Vote like your life depends on it.
