For some in the media and those in the Resistance opposing Brett Kavanaugh, the word of the day in regards to people who have said they have heard and believe Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations is “corroborate”:
The word "corroborate" is doing an awful lot of work this morning.

It sure is:
New: Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford has given the Senate four sworn statements from people who corroborate her assault claims and say she told them of the alleged assault in 2012, 2013, 2016 and 2017, respectively. https://t.co/3ihZc1MuNL

Does the MSM know what the word ‘corroborate’ actually means?
Oh Lordy. This media person thinks that people claiming they were told something corroborates that it happened. Y’all are my witnesses. I’m telling you I ran the NYC marathon so that means I did, right? https://t.co/wTcltk4HnY

They don’t corroborate her assault allegations in any way, unless four people claiming I told them last year that I went to the moon also proves that I went to the moon. https://t.co/mEZpRPxzeA

“Journalism,” or something.
Kind of disconcerting how few people know what “corroborate” means.

This "corroborate" word… It doesn't mean what you all think it means
— Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) September 26, 2018
Nope. These declarations do not in any way corroborate her claims of sexual assault. https://t.co/zqE6BiLwbv

Which one of Peter’s intelligent journalist colleagues wants to inform him on what the word corroborate means? https://t.co/cSTCXBvDkv

Do you… do you not know what “corroborate” means https://t.co/vNE5i1sppo

That’s not corroboration.
Have we changed the definition of the term? https://t.co/tVIJQD3Ded

.Evidently not. English is a second language to many in the MSM.

One final point from Buck Sexton:
If I tell 100 people that I was born in 2000 BC, and they swear that I told them that in affidavits-
The media headline should not be
“100 people corroborate account of 4000 year old man”
— Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) September 26, 2018
That might be the headline, provided the subject was a member of the mainstream media’s preferred party.
