'This is gross': New Yorker journo sinks to the bottom of the barrel for anti-Kavanaugh 'fishing expedition'

Jeff Flake didn’t just buy the Democrats more time to slime Brett Kavanaugh … he did the media a favor, too. Take the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer, for instance. Mayer, who co-authored the New Yorker piece on Kavanaugh accuser Deborah Ramirez with Ronan Farrow — and who presented an unvetted and unverified accusation against Brett Kavanaugh as fact — is back at work, trying to dig up dirt from the bottom of the barrel:

It's making the rounds of Yale alum pages. I am so glad I behaved like a little angel back then.

What absolute garbage.

If Kavanaugh was the monster the liberal media is trying to make him out to be, you'd think all this would have been uncovered in the 6 previous background checks he's had to go through. https://t.co/DzenUK8ZO8

Kavanaugh makes such an impression that when people remember him at events 35 years ago, he's the only person among the half-dozen there that they manage to remember.

Amazing how that works. Good thing Jane Mayer’s so committed to exposing the real Brett Kavanaugh.

I have a sneaking suspicion this reporter won't return phone calls from people saying Kav was a nice guy and above reproach.
