Chief Washington Coorespondent at Politico caught spinning false narrative on Kavanaugh's responses to the allegations. Here's the original tweet. -- (link) - Strongbad Sep 21, 04:45 25
- I don't think it's intentional, but it's poorly worded. I too read it as these were responses made by Kavanaugh. - NiKlaus Sep 21, 07:28
- Follow up tweet -- (link) - Roger More Sep 21, 04:48 17
  - At the very least, if it wasn't intentional it's easy to be taken that way - Strongbad Sep 21, 04:51 16
    - Occam’s razor doesn’t lead me to “caught spinning false narrative” -- nm - Roger More Sep 21, 04:55 15

        “Why should I change? He’s the one who sucks!” -- nm - Michael Bolton Sep 21, 05:03
        
        Or, it's not poorly written. Words mean something. - Will Hunting Sep 21, 04:59 12
        
        OK. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 21, 05:05

        Attributing anything Ed Whelan said last night to Kavanaugh is not fair, IMO. - Strongbad Sep 21, 05:12 5
        
        Kavanaugh the person, or Kavanaugh the media-political operation to get his nomination confirmed? -- (edited) - znufrii, promoted Sep 21, 05:48 2
        
        When we're speaking about allegations as serious as rape - Strongbad Sep 21, 06:15 1
        
        If it were a criminal rape trial, you would be absolutely correct. This is not a trial. This is a political operation. - znufrii, promoted Sep 21, 06:32
        
        Taken in a vacuum, perhaps. But there is evidence that this line is at his suggestion. - Reagen Sep 21, 05:15 1
        
        Is there evidence that Kavanaugh spoke with Whelan and gave him this theory? - Strongbad Sep 21, 05:22
        
        That's the dude who went on to offer the insane theory last night and is a long time friend and operative for GOP judges - Reagen Sep 21, 05:06 1
        
        Also, Hatch’s stuff knew that Whelan was going to float the mistaken identity bullshit days before it happened. (Nmblink) - ralph wiggum Sep 21, 05:42
        
        Yes? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 21, 05:03
- and his response, when faced with the fact that these aren't actually Kavanaugh's responses. - Strongbad Sep 21, 04:46 5
  - by the way, "rage machine" - Strongbad Sep 21, 05:07 3
    - It seems to have caused you to briefly not understand the English language. - Inigo Sep 21, 05:09 2
      - You're right. There's no possible way that could be inferred or implied. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 21, 05:13 1
        
        Only if you're trying to find something to rage about. Which pretty much everyone in that Twitter thread was. -- nm - Inigo Sep 21, 05:26
