And yet, lots of folks pointing out to me that Leonard Leo may be involved in spreading these ideas, and there was the Kavanaugh doppelganger Parker column (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/is-there-a-kavanaugh-doppelganger/2018/09/18/88418f52-bb86-11e8-a8aa-860695e7f3fc_story.html?utm_term=.f0b695b574aa …). So maybe they are irrational enough to try this boneheaded move supporting reason for FBI invest.

He did not even give the poor guy a chance to deny the false charges. A breach of basic journalistic ethics (ed writes for

And for those journalists writing about Ed’s “apology,” you should note he did not apologize for falsely accusing another man of attempted rape, only for naming him. Still accomplishing his purpose to try to buck up nomination with unsupported mistaken identity theory

Yup! Whelan isn't apologizing for suggesting that this guy attempted to rape Ford, just for suggesting it in a way that easily identified him

Which makes no sense, since that was the only point of the thread:https://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1043121438545391616?s=21 …

Expecting him to apologize for that is like expecting a skunk to apologize for stinking.

Whelan's apology is not a good faith attempt at contrition. It is more likely an attempt to distance himself from the WH officials or members of SJC who gave this absolute lunacy the green light.

I doubt his apology is authentic. He floated his BS theory, Fox picked it up, then he deleted it. Just as planned.

And also that fact that, for the false claim to have any salience at all, it *necessitated* publicly identifying the supposed "doppelganger"!

It's more like Dr Ford
is sing a false claim based on no credible evidence.
65 women, who have known Kavanaugh for more than 35 years and vouch for his character are more likely telling the truth.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
