    I made an appalling and inexcusable mistake of judgment in posting the tweet thread in a way that identified Kavanaugh's Georgetown Prep classmate. I take full responsibility for that mistake, and I deeply apologize for it. I realize that does not undo the mistake.

        I grievously and carelessly wronged the person I identified, and I owe him and his family my deepest apologies. And I of course do not deserve to have him accept my apologies.

        What we’re trying to figure out is why you looked at Doctor Ford’s Linked In profile BEFORE her name was released if the assault never happened. How did you know who to look for ahead of time of no one knew about it? And again why was Brit Humes’ daughter talking about it in June

        This is intriguing. How do you know he was poking on her account? Have you let the authorities know? @FBI @SenSchumer @SenFeinstein @SenatorCollins @KamalaHarris @Lawrence @maddow

        I am guessing that Doctor Ford let the FBI know when she was with them for hours over the death threats.

        I’m hope so but unsure. After all the bulling, I think Dr Ford should file charges in Maryland seeing there no statute of limitations.

        Too late and done purposefully, knowing the whacky fringe right would run with this.

        Exactly. This is the classic pattern. Get it out. Say “this might seem crazy” then let the crazies run while rolling it back. This is exactly the process that led an idiot driving to Comet Pizza with a gun looking for a basement that didn’t even exist!

        No. You can’t undo it. While I applaud your effort to apologize, those of us who have been shamed, silenced & told we were certainly mistaken, spend the rest of our lives broken, unable to understand what we did to CAUSE our assault.

        And the sick thing is he claims to feel sorry for naming someone else as the attacker but at no point does he feel sorry for implying that Dr. Ford is so befuddled and unreliable that she really doesn’t even know who she’s accusing.

        If he admitted feeling badly for implying Dr Ford is too inept to identify her attacker - who was also her CLASSMATE - he might betray his solemn #GOP A$$HOLEY oath to verbally pummel anyone who dares get between them & their CLEARLY corrupt agenda to put this rapist on #SCOTUS
