Kavanaugh’s ‘Drinking Buddies’: He Lied Under Oath About Drinking Habits

Three of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s Yale classmates and “drinking buddies” say he lied under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he said he never drank until he blacked out. Charles Ludington, Lynne Brookes, and Elizabeth Swisher write in a Washington Post op-ed that they “unequivocally” and on “numerous occasions” saw Kavanaugh “stumbling drunk to the point that it would be impossible for him to state with any degree of certainty that he remembered everything that he did when drunk.” The three said they also drank too much in college but were raising their voices as a “civic duty.” “It is true that Brett acknowledged he sometimes drank ‘too many beers.’ But he also stated that he never drank to the point of blacking out,” they wrote, underscoring that they believed Kavanaugh committed perjury in the effort to get confirmed to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh battled with Judiciary Committee senators about his drinking habits during a public hearing last week and said he merely “liked beer.”
