Revision as of 21:53, September 27, 2018

See also: Politics of personal destruction

The Kavanaugh smear of 2018 is an unsubstantiated slander against Judge Brett Kavanaugh made by liberals and anti-originalists upset of the prospect of losing the U.S. Supreme Court for the first time since 1934. In particular, Democrats were hysterical at the possibility of a pro-life majority on the Supreme Court.[1][2]

The strategy was first mapped out in July 2018 by Ricki Seidman, who orchestrated the 1991 Clarence Thomas smear and who advised at least one of Kavanaugh's accusers:
"Over the coming days and weeks there will be a strategy that will emerge, and I think it’s possible that that strategy might ultimately defeat the nominee."[3]
Like the attack on Justice Thomas, outrageous last-minute personal smears were intended to force extended, controversial, divisive, and unresolved hearings leading up to the 2018 Midterm elections. All of the people making the allegations hired partisan Democrat donors and operatives to help their efforts.[4]

The subsequent allegations were predictable, considering the intense opposition to the nomination by liberals and anti-Trumpers. Rather than being interested in the facts, liberals are trying to destroy the nomination of an originalist jurist even if it means destroying the life of the judge and his family.[5] Democrats have other methods of destroying the nomination if the subsequent unsubstantiated allegations fail to gain traction.[6] So far, Judge Kavanaugh has refused to allow Democrats to succeed in intimidating him into withdrawing his nomination.[7][8] Every alleged witness who had been named has denied that the event actually occurred.[9]

First allegation

The letter sent to Sen. Feinstein by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

The first allegation is a claim that Kavanaugh tried to assault Christine Blasey Ford, who would later go on to become a far-left[10] university professor in California. Ford never told anyone about her allegation until soon after The New Yorker published in March 2012 that Kavanaugh was most likely the next nominee if a Republican were to win the upcoming presidential election[11] – other media sources discussed him around the same time.[12] Within a few months, Ford for the first time allegedly told her therapist an attempted assault occurred at a drinking party when she was in high school. The therapist did not include names of the boys in notes from the sessions. The notes are said to allege there were four boys present. However, an anonymous letter to the Washington Post in 2018 said there were only 2 boys present in a room. The following day Blasey Ford identified herself as the accuser.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who facilitated publication of the letter and violated a confidentiality agreement with Ford by leaking to the mainstream media, told The Hill, "I don't know if everything is truthful."[13] Feinstein met for a private interview with Judge Kavanaugh on August 20, knew of Blasey Ford's allegations for three weeks, did not ask Kavanaugh about the allegations, did not inform the committee or ask the FBI to investigate, and had recommended an attorney for Blasey Ford who authorized a polygraph test.

Several factors point to Ford's allegations against Kavanaugh being false:

  • Despite knowing of the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh for several weeks and having the opportunity to get to the truth during the regular hearings, Senate Democrats stayed silent about them until the last possible moment.[14] Afterward, they refused to hold a fair hearing, opting instead to abandon due process and consider Kavanaugh guilty with no evidence[15] – some of them cited his pro-Constitution judicial philosophy as for why he was supposedly guilty.[16] Many liberals even suggested Kavanaugh and the GOP, in general, were guilty because of being "white men."[17][18] Democrats ignored[19] the numerous threats made against Kavanaugh and his family,[20][21] and some Democrats mocked the threats made against swing-vote Senators.[22] They even considered impeaching Kavanaugh in the event of him being confirmed.[23] Predictably, some mainstream media outlets did not devote any airtime to the large amount of evidence supporting Kavanaugh.[24] Some Democrats fundraised off the allegations.[25]
  • Dozens of women who knew Kavanaugh well as early as his time in high schools have attested to him being very respectful toward women.[26] Every alleged witness that Ford named affirmed that the event did not happen or that they had no knowledge of it, including Ford's left-wing friends,[27] and when Ford claimed to have found four "witnesses" to corroborate her allegation, they really only were people that Ford had told of the allegation decades later.[28] Meanwhile, despite Democrats obsessing over the allegations, they defended people useful to their cause such as Bill Clinton,[29] Harvey Weinstein, Cory Booker,[30] and Keith Ellison,[31] as well as taking money from woman-abusers[32] (see also: Left-wing war on women). Real victims of rape, such as Juanita Broaddrick, disputed Ford's account.[33]
  • Despite claiming to want to testify, Ford balked when Senate Republicans actually tried to find a time for her to come, and then she demanded outrageous and unprecedented conditions in order to attend.[34] This was in order to delay any votes on Kavanaugh's confirmation as far into the future as possible.[35] Ford's lawyers also refused to cooperate with the Senate judiciary committee, missed deadlines to respond, and kept asking for more time.[36][37] This was despite the fact that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley was extremely generous in trying to accommodate Ford.[38]
  • Ford hired prominent Democrat operative Ricki Seidman – who worked for Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama – to advise her after the allegation was made public.[39] Earlier, Seidman publicly stated that she and other Democrats were plotting to destroy Kavanaugh's nomination once it was announced in July 2018.[40] Additionally, two of Ford's attorneys agreed after the allegations became public to headline a fundraiser for Democrat Senator Tammy Baldwin, though they canceled it once their plans became known to the public.[41] One of the main attorneys – Debra Katz, a Democrat donor who defended Bill Clinton and Al Franken[42] – representing Ford publicly made statements opposing President Trump earlier in his term.[43] Ford's attorneys were recommended to her by Dianne Feinstein,[44] and they did a poor job representing her.[45]
  • Ford and Senate Democrats demanded that the FBI investigate her allegations – however, the allegation did not involve a federal crime,[46] was too vague and far into the past for an FBI investigation to be of any value, and Congress traditionally investigates such matters. Sen. Joe Biden explained the usefulness of FBI investigations.[47]
  • Ford and her lawyers refused to reveal who paid for the polygraph test – a notoriously unreliable method of determining whether one is telling the truth – she allegedly took and how it was conducted – essential questions to determine how seriously to take its findings.[48] When she finally released it on September 26, 2018, investigators found several inconsistencies in it – not to mention that polygraph tests do not prove anything.[49][50][51] However, she continued to refuse to hand over her therapist notes to the Judiciary Committee.[52]
  • Ford's yearbooks show that she and her friends willingly supported the promiscuous, drunken, and racist culture at her school.[53]
  • Ford admitted to not knowing many details of the alleged incident, even including how many people were involved.[54] Even after she went public about the allegations, important details of the alleged incident changed.[55]
  • Ford claimed to be afraid of flying because of the alleged incident[56] – giving her an excuse to delay the hearings as she drove from California from Washington, D.C., but she has family on the east coast, and he did graduate work in Hawaii, revealing an inconsistency in her account.[57] When the details of the polygraph test were released it was found it was administered in Maryland, meaning it was likely Ford flew there and back.[49][50] At her Senate hearing, she admitted she did a lot of flying despite her previous claim.[58]
  • Kavanaugh took detailed calendar notes, and his calendar for the summer of 1982 do not describe any party as the one Ford described.[59]
  • The Kavanaugh allegations were first reported on by The Washington Post, a left-wing newspaper which published similar accusations against conservative such as Donald Trump in 2016 and Roy Moore in 2017.

Second Allegation

The mainstream media brought up a second allegation because "Senate Democrats began looking."[60] It was first reported in the New Yorker during the period in which the Senate Judiciary Committee delayed their vote – Judge Kavanaugh also completely denied it. The allegation was brought by a classmate of Kavanaugh at Yale who majored in sociology and psychology and who then worked in the often-liberal field of domestic violence. "After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney,"[61] she claims that at a party in which she herself was drinking, Kavanaugh exposed himself to her.[62] The allegation had several problems, though that did not matter to Democrats, bent on destroying Kavanaugh and originalism in general.[63] The New Yorker wrote:
"The magazine contacted several dozen classmates of Ramirez and Kavanaugh regarding the incident...The New Yorker has not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was present at the party."
The accuser did give the New Yorker six names to support her claim. Six witnesses Deborah Ramirez stated could substantiate her accusation. And when the New Yorker interviewed them, all six said it never happened, 100% of the evidence discovered by the New Yorker refuted the claim, yet the New Yorker still published the article. Not only were the allegations unsubstantiated, but Ramirez's classmates denied the story.[64][65] The New York Times did its own investigation and could not corroborate the story.[66][67] Critics criticized the New Yorker for its poor, low-quality reporting on this allegation,[68][69][70] and they noted that the article actually refuted the allegations.[71]

Ramirez reportedly refused to cooperate with the Senate Judiciary Committee.[72]

Third allegation

See also: Michael Avenatti

Michael Avenatti all week long before the extra hearing publicly announced that he was in contact with an anonymous accuser who claimed Kavanaugh participated in drug-induced gang rapes. Avenatti promised to bring forward the accuser before the Thursday hearing. The story was repeated by ABC News, CBS News, USA Today and other mainstream outlets.

Avenatti asked the accuser to go on Anderson Cooper 360, but she said she was afraid of men. He then offered the alleged accuser $20,000 for a one-on-one interview with Poppy Harlow of CNN, and finally $75,000.

Eventually, a third accuser made graphic allegations about high school parties that Brett Kavanaugh supposedly attended, but without any specific accusation based on personal knowledge of any wrongdoing against Kavanaugh himself. One enormous flaw in this third allegation: 60 classmates of Kavanaugh have signed a letter saying they have never met this woman who claims she was at all these parties.[73] Many other inconsistencies and credibility issues arose.[74][75] For example, she was revealed to have been in later college years while Kavanaugh was in his early high school years.[76] The New York Times tried but failed to corroborate the allegation.[50] It was soon discovered that the accuser had a troubled past,[77] and she had sued one of her employers for "sexual harassment" using Ford's lawyer's firm.[78]

As with the previous allegations, dozens of women rallied to Judge Kavanaugh's defense, with sixty of them signing a letter affirming he had a good character in high school.[79]

Observers noted that "Michael Avenatti managed to make it all about him."[80]

Yearbook smear

The New York Times did an article of Judge Kavanaugh's high school yearbook, but they did not mention that it was supplied from an outspoken and severely anti-Trump politician from Maryland, and it hid other important facts in the story.[81][82] Avenatti, using his 4chan troll sources, claimed to be able to "decipher" comments in the yearbook.[83]

Fourth allegation

A fourth allegation invented and/or reported by NBC News on the eve of the hearing was thoroughly debunked.[84]
