      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 …

      Chris Geidner added,

      Daniel LippmanVerified account @dlippman
      .@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.

          Did you ask any of these 65 women how well they knew Kavanaugh, if they ever dated him, if they ever attended a party with him, if they were ever alone with him, if they were ever around him when he was drunk, or if they ever heard any rumors about him that they chose to ignore?

          Did you ask any women NOT cited by the GOP, who attended schools near Kavanaugh at the relevant time, if they knew him, if he ever behaved inappropriately toward them, if they recall him drinking to excess, if they ever heard any rumors about him being sexually violent, etc.?

          Did you ask any of Kavanaugh’s male high school/college friends or acquaintances if they’re aware of him ever behaving inappropriately toward women, or if he bragged about sexual experiences that may not have been consensual, or if he drank to excess, or what his reputation was?

          Replying to @MoonBatsUnited @chrisgeidner

          Reporters shouldn’t focus solely on women whom we already know to be GOP-selected as Kavanaugh supporters, esp since we also know there’s no way ALL 65 knew him well enough to attest to his spectacular moral character. Only Q for them: on what evidence did you form that opinion?

          7 of 65 isn't exactly great especially with it being a call me if you stand by it request. Think the best practice is contacting all of them, not asking somebody pro-Kavanaugh to do it. Would also be curious when signatures were gathered.

          7 or 2, that's a far cry from 65... 🙄

          Also, the reporter clearly stated that only 2 of the women he contacted spoke in support. He didn't claim to have called all 65, but rather most of them. Maybe he missed your 5? 🤔

          Can you please ask the next woman who calls you (1) when was she asked to sign the letter, (2) by whom, and (3) was it disclosed to her before she signed that there could be an allegation of sexual assault made against Brett Kavanaugh?
