No argument from me on Clinton. Yeah, it's a double standard. But Hillary was already held accountable by enough middle ground voters (for enough things) that she lost the powerful position she was vying for. For her part in it, justice served, you could say. Two years ago by the way. Now it's Kavanaugh's turn.Congratulations of posting one of the most illogical analogies I've ever seen.
The issue is the media and Democratic party either ignoring accusations against Clinton while melting down over unsubstantiated allegations against Kavanaugh, or as Hillary Clinton was quoted, "All those women are lying." Hypocrisy much?
As for the new allegation - from the NY Times - "The paper said it interviewed “several dozen people” in a vain attempt to find someone with “firsthand knowledge” to corroborate Ramirez’s allegations.
The Times also said Ramirez contacted former classmates to see if they remembered the alleged incident — and told some she wasn’t sure it was Kavanaugh who exposed himself."
Anyway let's get some facts straight:
First, Ramirez is accuser #2, allegeding a lesser crime than accuser #1.
Second, she didn't launch this accusation publicly. How here claim came to light was a rumour was already swirling about Kavanaugh's past that he did this. She only disclosed it was her and only publicly when she felt that it was going to come out anyway and she was afraid of how she would be painted if she didn't tell her side of the story.
To the event, though nobody first hand will corroborate her story, another person confirms hearing someone at the time leave the room and yell out (in amusement) what just happened, naming both Ramirez and Kavanaugh explicitly, at the time. There were numerous others that confirmed Kavanaugh was known to get blazingly drunk on the regular and aggressive when he did.
She says she remembers the penis being in front of her, she remembered Kavanaugh pulling up his pants, she also remembers afterward hearing someone yelling in the hallway what happened. I notice her careful choice of words, so I suspect what she's saying is she saw the penis but did not look up to see who it was attached to. Freaked out, pushed him away, and then looked to see Kavanaugh pull up his pants. The confusion could be it was someone else's penis, that guy made a getaway, and Kavanaugh was coincidently pulling up his pants???
The fact that no one in the room will corroborate it is easily two things: 1. they were goading them on, so feel complicit, 2. people remember traumatic events. It was traumatic for her. It wasn't a memorable drunken moment (decades later) for them. The fact that there is second-hand corroboration nonetheless is remarkable.
