Cristina King Miranda, Christine Blasey Ford’s former classmate who originally claimed she knew about the Kavanaugh-Ford incident, has not only backpedaled on her claim but told NPR that she would not testify before the committee if asked.
Yes, she talked to NPR after she made a big deal about not giving any more interviews to the press.
Typical.
A former classmate of Christine Blasey Ford tells NPR she doesn't know if an alleged sexual assault by Brett Kavanaugh took place as she first suggested on social media. https://t.co/g2ArVHDFgW

From npr.org:
Miranda said staff from the Senate Judiciary Committee had reached out to her, something she was not expecting. She said she will not go through with a committee interview if asked. (wow…)
Miranda says in high school she played soccer with Ford — whom she refers to as Chrissy — and that she continues to support her. Miranda added that despite not knowing specifics of what went on at the party three decades ago, she remembers that there was a “buzz” that went around the weekend of the party in question about an alleged incident involving students from her school and Kavanaugh’s.
It is something, she said, that was not surprising to hear given the culture of drinking and partying, but she remembers being struck by the “gravity” of what was being talked about.
But she doesn’t remember specifics.
This is SO DUMB.
"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

She had no idea that she’d have to back up her accusations.
Fixed it for her.
She says she doesn't have "first-hand knowledge" — but that despite not knowing specifics, she remembers there was a "buzz" that went around the weekend of the party in question about an alleged incident involving students from her school and Kavanaugh's. https://t.co/g2ArVHDFgW

So basically she heard a rumor that a party was CRAZY that weekend, but that’s it.
No wonder Feinstein sat on this nonsense for two months, there is just nothing here.

Right.
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

She will not testify.
But we’re supposed to believe her non-specific story about hearing a buzz and feeling gravity.
K.
This is what used to be known as a “lie”.

Biggest takeaway: Senate judiciary staff reached out to her. They are doing their job and apparently, are willing to gather info from both sides.

And it sounds like King-Miran is running away.
Sounds legit!
