No conservative defense of him that I’ve seen acknowledges these amply demonstrated lies. Rather than address it, the pivot is always made to media/left-wing unfairness. Fine: let’s stipulate that media/left is unfair. How does that justify blatant lying?https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1046372256245587968 …

If you don't care about this deceit, don't think it's disqualifying, or don't think it ever should have come up in the first place: OK, make that argument. But refusing to acknowledge that his plainly-spoken words here even *constitute* deceit is coming across as sheer denialism.

As someone who meticulously documented Hillary Clinton's carefully-phrased deceptions and lies, and was told it didn't matter because of some convoluted lawyerly parsing, to be denounced by conservatives for applying the exact same rigor to Kavanaugh is amusing.

Ford:How can I stop Kavanaugh? I am working for a billion dollar company that makes morning after abortion pills. He may destroy Roe! I know, I’ll make up an unprovable story that will trash his chances. Mr. Soros says he can pay other people, too, to say it’s true!! That’s it!

So you get to define the terms Kavanaugh used in a way that doesn't fit the facts, then say he lied? This is pretty cheap rhetoric.

And of the apparently many lies he made, this is really the smoking gun that most unequivocally illustrates it? Seems pretty obvious he could've had something a bit more than met at a friend's house for some beers in mind when referring to a party like the one described by Ford..

It's quite a stretch to suggest Kavanaugh is lying here. When he states he "never attended a gathering like the one Dr. Ford describes," its quite clear he's referring to *the* gathering Dr. Ford describes w/ Mark Judge, PJ Smyth, Leland Keyser & Dr. Ford (& unidentified boy)

What semantics are we going with? A house party? A "small gathering?" Or a gathering where they participated in attempted assault? "Never attending a party LIKE THIS" can certainly be taken as "a small gathering of assault during a party." Hardly the smoking gun you want here.

"committing". He said something that seems false, do you have any evidence it was on purpose? I see this "lie" word being thrown around loosely alot.
