      The guy who helped impeach Bill Clinton for a (consensual) blowjob just claimed he couldn't have sexually assaulted anyone because he didn't have vaginal intercourse. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/09/25/brett-kavanaugh-it-depends-on-what-the-meaning-of-the-phrase-sexual-assault-is/ …

      The transcript destroys this. What does "physical activity" mean? Seems more than just intercourse. Read better.pic.twitter.com/qyVZSKYxZe

      No. It doesn't destroy it. It means he ALSO may have lied about Ford but his blanked denials of sexual assault, tied as he makes it to virginity, means the blanket denial is meaningless, given the allegations we know about.

      The completely unsubstantiated allegations. Its consistent to say he didnt have any type of sexual activity, certainly not sexual assault.

      And where does he use the phrase 'vaginal intercourse'? You made that up.

      Okay, I'll hold your hand here. What relation is there between virginity and sexual assault?

      If you never had any kind of sexual activity to begin with of course you couldn't have sexually assaulted someone. Unless he used someone elses body and dick or some kind of foreign object like a broom. We're not even talking about that.

      There! You've made your case. Virgin ≠ never had any kind of sexual activity. Which is why it's crystal clear Kavanaugh is doing what Clinton did.

          No its not. Because read it again, he says anything close to sexual intercourse. Aka hes not skirting via blowjob.pic.twitter.com/af7zy52B4E

          Again, you're making my point by emphasizing that he keeps talking about vaginal intercourse. Go ahead, provide more proof he's using the Bill Clinton defense. I'll just sit and drink ice tea.

          He never uses the phrase vaginal intercourse. Thats your concoction. Youre wildly speculating over some imagined thing.

          So you don't think the presence of a lie already in that sentence (the drinking age was increased to 21 when he was 17) means that the rest of what he says is a lie too?

          False. It was beer-specific 18. He stated beer in the interview.

          beer specific? In MD in 1982 it was raised to 21 for everything.

          No, it didnt raise until July 1st. And it was exempt for people who were already 18 on July 1st. Do you have a date for the party? No you dont because even the accuser has no idea when it happened.pic.twitter.com/DJy77EPxbv
