As we just told you this morning, Brett Kavanaugh’s classmate, Cristina King Miranda is backing away from her previous social media posts on the allegations by Christine Blasey Ford and told NPR in an interview that she has no idea if the incident happened or not. Here’s CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski linking to that NPR report. Pretty clear, right?
FYI: The classmate of the Kavanaugh who wrote this viral FB post saying the incident "DID happen" and "many" heard about it in school did an NPR interview. She now says "I have no idea" if it happened and deleted her FB post. https://t.co/tThtWYuY34https://t.co/9S5Oy9K41W

But not to @AMERICAblog editor John Aravosis. Somehow he’s interpreted Kaczynski’s tweet to mean that there’s still hope that Miranda’s now-deleted social media posts are “one more data point suggesting that something happened”:
More salient is that she claims to have known of the incident at the time. If true, that means this isn’t a story that Blasey Ford just made up last week. It’s one more data point suggesting that something happened. https://t.co/EgH4cttv4E

Well, we think it’s “more salient” that she won’t even defend what she previously posted on Facebook (from our earlier post):
"In my post, I was empowered and I was sure it probably did [happen]," she says. "I had no idea that I would now have to go to the specifics and defend it before 50 cable channels." https://t.co/g2ArVHDFgW

Nor even participate in a hearing:
She said staff from the Senate Judiciary Committee had reached out to her, something she wasn't expecting. She said she will not go through with a committee interview if asked. https://t.co/g2ArVHDFgW
