    I didn’t say “blowjob” on @DemocracyNow this morning but I did say “it depends on what the definition of ‘sexual assault’ is” and note that Kavanaugh seems to think vaginal contact is required.

        Isn't it what Bill Clinton said too? Wonder where Mr Kavanaugh got that from! Since he was working for Ken Starr and wanted to reopen the case of Vince Foster after the DC police already closed the case and found that it was suicide which is what Ken Starr found too

        Dry humping on someone without their permission would seem to qualify. Putting your penis in someone else's face without some kind of encouragement would also fit. Should we make up our own list of questions to ask "would this be lying?"

        Like Gingrich and Clinton, he believes that sex consists only of vaginal intercourse. Everything else is something else.

        Kavanaugh said no sexual relations or sexual contact with anyone in high school so Marcy’s point is irrelevant. Sexual contact would obviously cover bjs too. Feels like most people commenting on his Fox interview didn’t actually watch it

        (1) was making a bill clinton reference since kavs got a hard on by outlining all of bill's sexual escapades and (2) did either of the accusors say they gave him a blowjob? no. did either of them say they actually had sex? no. thus, your point is moot

        He was specifically responding to Avenatti’s charge that he was involved in a group accused of gang rape. Thanks again for proving you didn’t watch the interview

        never claimed i watched it. why would i watch an fox news interview with the interviewer being a lady that claimed gretchen carlson was a liar? again, was making a bill clinton/kav joke. however, one of the alleged incidents was from high school though, correct?

        also like that kavs said his "renate alumnus" comment in his yearbook just meant that he had kissed her. like, that may be the only thing that actually happened. however, the clear implication he and his friends were making was that they were eskimo brothers
