Oh My, Please Make It Stop!
A third woman came forward Wednesday morning to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct. In this case, the woman accused him of engaging in repeated lewd behavior with women at parties in the early 1980s, and of putting drugs or alcohol in punch to cause women to become inebriated so they could be “gang raped” by a group of male partygoers.
It gets better;
In a sworn declaration released by Avenatti, Swetnick said she attended a public high school near Georgetown Prep, where Kavanaugh was a student. (Avenatti said she graduated in 1980.) She said she met Kavanaugh and Judge at a house party in the area in approximately 1980-81.
Swetnick said that she attended more than 10 parties with Kavanaugh and Judge between 1981 and 1983. “I witnessed Brett Kavanaugh consistently engage in excessive drinking and inappropriate contact of a sexual nature with women during the early 1980s,” she said.
Believe it or not, it gets even better;
“In approximately 1982, I became the victim of one of these ‘gang’ or ‘train’ rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present,” Swetnick wrote under penalty of perjury.
“During the incident, I was incapacitated without my consent and unable to fight off the boys raping me. I believe I was drugged using Quaaludes or something similar placed in what I was drinking,” she said.
I’m not buying into this story, but I do have a rather insensitive question for her.
You attended approximately 10 or more parties where women were being drugged, and gang raped. At what point between the first party and the last party you attended did it occur to you that perhaps attending these parties was not a very good idea? I’ve got all day to wait for your answer, so take your time.
I’m still not buying her story regardless of the answer.

We’ll let’s hear what Arizona’s own ‘Matress Girl’, Jeff Flake has to say. He’s apparently going to speak, yet again, to us all on this afternoon’s ‘very special episode…’
Waiting for this weasel to, dramatically, “tap out”.
I’m so sick of these idiots and of the feminists too, with their mixed messages. I mean if it’s “I Am Woman Hear Me Roar,” and women can do everything men can do, then how can it also be “Women are poor helpless creatures at the mercy of those big strong men who can overpower them”? And sorry but if you need years of therapy after a boy gropes you at a party, you are not the strongest woman I’ve ever heard of, and you need to turn in your pink p***y hat, Missy.
Flake will hopefully be replaced by Martha McSally in the Senate, and it’s no accident that he’s not going to run for a second term. His chances were slim to none of surviving a Republican primary election in Arizona. He’ll be much happier residing someplace else, as will Arizonans.
“Approximately 1982?” Approximately? Give or take how many years?
Actually, I hope and pray that some of these women go to prison for slander. Or for what ever in heck they can be charges with. These women are totally disgusting and evil. I think that Mrs. Kavanaugh should file a slander suit for her daughters as they are being injured. These charges enrage me! The stupid woman has just admitted to being a drunken slut.
Too bad we can’t point that out without charges of “victim-shaming,” but I agree.
Democrats have lost. Their desperation is conspicuous …
Merkley seeks injunction to stop Kavanaugh vote
Even Lindsey Graham has had quite enough of this
I’m not sure why it would take ten or more parties that included drugging and gang rapes might not be the place you would want to be. Perhaps she’s just a slow learner, or she found an attorney that sells gang rape fantasies for attention. Dem’s paid a lot of money for a Russian sex fantasy dossier. It seems there’s always a market for political porn on the Left side of the aisle.
Breitbart and other sources reporting that she graduated high school in 1980 and was going back to high school parties in 1982? Plus, as an adult she did nothing to report these alleged events?
The heading for this post says it all. :-)
Hang on, let’s not be hasty. The Dems driving this train wreck are committed ideologues who have no problem voting for rapists and abusers as long as they are Democrats, but throw mud all day long at a decent conservative. But the purple-state suburban soccer moms who drive election results are starting to look around and think, well, the accusation is not good, if true, but it seems pretty sketchy, and in ten or twenty years that could be my son. The longer this goes on the more Senate seats the Republicans pick up. And if the dems find a judge so besotted with his own power that he tries to screw with the internal mechanics of a co-equal branch of government – we’ll have a wave election alright, but it will be red.
Lindsey’s Andy Griffith coming out.
She is what three years older than Kavanaugh? Something doesn’t add up. She could be charged with statutory rape if she was 18 and he was 15 or at least corrupting the morals of a minor.
The Merkley thing is pathetic. And here I thought the Hawaiian senator -Hirono was a mortal lock for dumbest US Senator for the foreseeable future.
Is it possible that there is a grain of truth in these stories having nothing to do with Kavanaugh? Is it possible that such parties took place in the Washington area during this time frame and some of these things happened to some of these women, perhaps crimes committed in random fashion with unknown perpetrators, and we are witnessing the random vengeance of the victims?
I hope you’re right. The irony of that happening would be amazing.
Again – No specific times, dates, or locations. At. All.
She claims she was gang-raped at one of these parties in 1982 but kept attending the parties in 1983. What’s wrong with this picture? Why would a gang-rape victim continue to attend parties where helpless women were continuing to be gang-raped?
Re: Her claim is that Kavanaugh, as a teenager, inappropriately touched young women at these parties…ignore the photos below…move along…
Some coming to support her say she and others were afraid to report these rapes at the time because they wouldn’t be believed. But they weren’t afraid to continue going to these parties attended by those who raped them, at least, not this accuser.
That was my take as well.
The new accuser alleges that she went to a party where girls were drugged and raped. And she knew this.
And she went to the next party?!?!?
And it happened again. ?!?!?
And she still went to the one after that?!?!
NFW. No way. No how.
This is exactly what I’ve been thinking is one of the weakest points in their latest frenzy (bolding above is mine). Women with sons, even ones who voted for Obama, are not looking favorably on this latest tactic at all. People are alarmed. I mean we might even go back to having chaperones for unmarried couples at the rate we’re going.
The Dems have lost their minds, and are just saying whatever pops into their heads in the moment, with no regard for the ramifications if and when their side might be on the receiving end. Just ask Harry Reid about the Nuclear Option. They somehow never think the situations might be reversed.
What is a twenty-something young woman doing showing up at parties thrown by high school boys? Did she have a pimple fetish or something?
The women who are making these accusations have severe emotional and/or mental health problems, and democrats don’t care. Democrats are the ones who are exploiting vulnerable and fragile women.
Well duh. Anyone with half a brain can answer that one. She’s either flat out lying or has a serious sex addiction. The fact that the press and politicians are even discussing this is ridiculous and an insult to the intelligence of even the mentally challenged.
The Democrats are making it harder for Flake to gleefully stick his thumb in the voters’ eyes on the way out the door, as his good friend McCain did. His speech today was a pathetic attempt to blame both sides and pretend to care about the character assassination, and pending destruction of the Kavanaugh family.
He falsely equated reactions to Ford and Kavanaugh. He pretended it was conspiracy talk to point out Ford’s obvious political bias and coordination. He grudgingly admitted he did not believe the latest allegations.
Throughout, he showed no self-awareness. The past week just happened, and even though he admits he was the one to force the delay, he has no responsibility for the smear that delay enabled. But the outrageous injustice, the depth of the smear, may just have tainted “no” votes too much for him to get away with it.
His remarks are still far weaker than Lindsey Graham’s, a Senator who has repeatedly opposed this president and his voters. Graham helps mark the limits of decency in this process, thus putting “Never Trump” and abortion-absolutist Republicans on notice that they have no cover under the Democrats’ smear campaign.
Maybe these parties had really good DJ?
Powerline’s Scott Johnson hits the nail on the head:
And now, the McMartin phase
Certainly. And is it also possible that it may snow in Palm Beach next August? Both possible, but not likely.
Well that question comes from a guy that has some old time street experience as a cop. In todays world that question would generate an Internal Affairs complaint, and two weeks of diversity training about a hostile work environment. Then another two weeks of diversity training when I tell the instructor that my work environment is hostile the moment roll call ends.
The FBI missed all word of these parties; not once, but several times.
Sorry. Not buying that for a second. I’ve been through background checks. I’ve been interviewed for the background checks of others. If Kavanaugh was involved in any way with anything like this, somebody would have spilled it.
We really are getting into the “Brett Kavanugh turned me into a newt” level of accusations….
