    Manu Raju Retweeted Anderson Cooper 360°

    I asked Flake today if he were concerned about this, and he compared it to exaggerating rushing yards he got as a high school RB. “Exaggerating or diminishing your success or failures that’s something a lot of people are used to.” https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2018/10/03/ip-fbi-investigation.cnn …. https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/03/opinions/what-exactly-is-jeff-flake-looking-for-pate/index.html …https://twitter.com/AC360/status/1047643688887705600 …

        Committing perjury because it makes your denials less plausible is not like Al Bundy bragging about scoring 5 TDs, @JeffFlake.

        Flake is going to vote to confirm. He feels he’s done his due diligence by holding up Kav for a week with this sham investigation. This way he can say he did all he could, oh well. 🤷🏼‍♂️ He’s only interested in perception bc he must be running v Trump 2020.

        Actually, Flake is a lot like Lucy. Always pulling the ball. Moving the goalpost. "A certain amount of perjury is expected and acceptable."

        Of course. Lying to the Judicial Committee is almost exactly like exaggerating your rushing yards. #sarcasticfont

        .@JeffFlake stands for nothing. He just doesn’t and anyone who thinks he does is kidding themselves. He will vote for the liar and he can then kiss his political career goodbye. Women will NEVER forget this vote. NEVER.

        I "exaggerate and diminish my successes and failures" related to allegations of sexual assault all the time, Under oath. Who doesn't? Especially to get on SCOTUS. Oh no, wait. I was never accused of sexual assault. Not three times. Not twice. Not once. Nevermind. @JeffFlake

        And, along that logic, cheating in any sport would preclude you from the Hall of Fame...just ask @PeteRose_14. Way to go @JeffFlake, your moment of having a backbone has swiftly faded away.

        Only if rushing yards is something correlated to sexual assault. Otherwise it’s pretty different.

        Except that alcohol is alleged to have been used to incapacitate girls at parties. Can't do that with rushing yards.

        Lies about ruahing yards are to brag. Kavanaugh's lies about drinking were to give him cover for potential blackouts and lies about yearbook quotes cover his views on women.
