    Yeah. That’s what men and women in high school do all the time. Just a couple of kids, horsing around, with one trying to remove the other’s clothes.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1042076807208550402 …

        Yeah, remember when horseplay involved your friend smothering your screams by smashing his hand over your mouth and nose so you can’t breathe? While his friend turned up loud 🎶 #NoKavanaughVote #IBelieveChristineBlaseyFord #VoteThemOut #GOPComplicit

        So, I see they've moved past the "I wasn't at that party" and "I don't know her" excuses.

        And putting his hand over her mouth so she wouldn’t scream. And turning up the music so no one could hear. Sure.

        Yes, rough horseplay now, at an event Kavanaugh claims he didn't attend... This is getting even more ridiculous.

        That's just how things were back then, boys and girls. We'd ride our bikes w/o helmets, drink out of the garden hose, and try to rape girls at parties. You know, good, old fashioned fun. #StopKavanaugh #MeToo

        Horseplay: Verb, used to absolve one’s self from blame after nefarious acts; especially when the acts are criminal charges of rape. Jerry Sandusky on NBC “We were showering and horsing around, as I recall, possibly snapping a towel, horseplay".

        He "wasn't there" AND "it was just rough horseplay". Both. Everyone else knows both can't be true.

        Pinning each other down, forcibly covering each others’s mouths to prevent them from calling for help, turning up the music so no one can hear...good times.
