    Chris Geidner Retweeted Daniel Lippman

    FWIW, I think this tweet is misleading folks. I simply tried back the two signatories I spoke with on Friday. I asked the one I reached, who said she stood by it, to have other signatories call me. Already, five have called me to say they stand by the letter and Kavanaugh.https://twitter.com/dlippman/status/1041676217815105536 …

    .@AndrewRestuccia and I called many of Kavanaugh's 65 female HS acquittances who signed a letter supporting him. After his accuser came out on Sunday, only TWO said they still stood by him. More than two dozen didn't respond, and two declined to comment. https://politi.co/2NjREVl

        To respond to Qs: Yes, that is a total of seven signatories who have confirmed w me they stand by the letter. And, yes, it is a mostly self-selecting group. My point is simply that people likely are being misled by the 17K RTs of the "only TWO said they still stood by him" tweet.

        There is no way that those women knew him in High School. He went to an all boys school. It's not possible for them to have known him well enough to accurately comment on his character.

        Incorrect. None of the 65 women who signed the letter for Kavanaugh said they were classmates since he went to an all boys school.

        Can anyone explain to me how 65 women who didn't even attend the same school as Kavanaugh kept in contact with him in the ensuing 35 years, so much so that they know exactly what kind of person he is?

        65 women from 5 different high schools. One of the women who signed is Brit Hume's (Fox News) daughter. It is quite unbelievable that any person would know 65 people (men or women) intimately enough in high school to make the claims in the letter.

        Replying to @chrisgeidner

        It is very misleading. Daniel Lippman makes it sound like a wholesale abandonment of #Kavanaugh, when reality is: 1) they called less than half of the 65 women 2) two reaffirmed their support 3) two likely want to see how this all unfolds, and 4) the other 24+ didn’t call back.

        So next question for these supporters: Are they Republican activists and have they donated to Republican political causes? It seems only fair to ask those questions of them since they were asked of Dr. Ford.

        So if being republicans makes their statements disqualifying..... Then Ford’s accusations are also disqualifying, given she’s a leftist who’s donated to many PACs.

        Unless they claim to have been there and that it did not occur, what they thought of him in general really has zero to do with anything though.

        How could anyone know they were "there" when the accuser does not know when or where it happened. And actually, this comes down to she said he said & yes character witnesses matter.

        200 of her actual fellow classmates have come forward to stand behind her character. So by your logic she is more credible than him.
