GOP Candidate Calls Kavanaugh Accusation ‘Absurd’

September 21, 2018 · 6:40 pm ET · Leave a Comment

North Dakota U.S. Senate candidate Kevin Cramer (R) said that the accusation against Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh was “even more absurd” than Anita Hill’s accusation against Clarence Thomas because Kavanaugh and his accuser were drunk teenagers when the alleged incident occurred, CNN reports.

Said Cramer: “These are teenagers who evidently were drunk, according to her own statement. They were drunk. Nothing evidently happened in it all, even by her own accusation. Again, it was supposedly an attempt or something that never went anywhere.”

Christine Blasey Ford alleged that Kavanaugh was “stumbling drunk,” but only said she had one beer at the party.
