WaPo White House correspondent Philip Rucker should just change his name to Philip Muckraker. Because this scoop is a return to the golden age of investigative journalism:
During Brett Kavanaugh’s time as an undergrad at Yale, his fraternity, DKE, marched across campus waving a flag woven from women’s underwear, according to this @yaledailynews report https://t.co/7o3fyzgmeX

This is your cue, FBI! Time to swarm on Brett Kavanaugh!
That must mean he's a rapist. https://t.co/hSzshYqhKu

Definitely. The evidence is irrefutable.
Or maybe it isn’t:
In case it isn’t clear in my tweet, Kavanaugh is not in the flag-waving photo, as explained in this story, which is about the culture of his frat.

It wasn’t clear, Philip. But that was by design, wasn’t it?
So why show the photo?
— Lee@eps (@LeighEPS) September 20, 2018
Because narrative.

“Look at what other people did – other people that went to the same school as Kavanaugh!”
“Journalism” or something. ?

So he was a better person than some ppl in his Frat…. Thanks for the update, Philip https://t.co/K7cMal8tyr

Kavanaugh wasn't the one waving the flag, but I'm going to implicate him anyway by including him in something that must be bad involving women's underwear. Not actual women, just their underwear.

The Left continues to display how little they understand about the real world.
This is normal frat behavior. Even ignoring that Kavanaugh wasn't part of this, it's still an incredibly stupid story. https://t.co/l7CMG6Rw3Q

Exactly.
I can't believe you read this story and thought it was a good idea to tweet

Banner day for you, Phil. https://t.co/8NKJkfH5Vm

Thus far we have media insinuations BK is guilty because he was in a frat, he was a man, he made a bland joke about 3 of his friends in prep school…
You noticing a pattern?

You’d have to be blind not to.
Plant the flag. Journalism has officially died with this tweet.
— Justin Davidson (@atljad) September 20, 2018
So not in the photo, not alleged to have participated, but still go ahead and paint him with the brush. The @washingtonpost should be ashamed. You should be ashamed. All of journalism should be ashamed.
