Virginia Hume was one of 65 woman who signed a letter attesting to Brett Kavanaugh’s good character late last week. For her troubles, she received a target on her back.
Briefly stepping back into Twitter to reiterate: The Brett Kavanaugh I know is a good and decent person, and I have never seen him treat women with anything but respect.

Some Real Journalists™ are now on a mission to impugn Hume’s character, and they’re using an exchange between Hume and Kavanaugh’s high school friend — and supposed witness to the alleged attempted sexual assault on Christine Blasey Ford — Mark Judge a few months back:
What did you mean when you told Mark Judge no one cares about ‘youthful shenanigans’ anymore & better to get them out early? pic.twitter.com/WZ9Qr6q3aO

Clearly there’s a scandal here. The New Republic’s Jeet Heer can smell it from miles away:
Yes. Exactly. Pic of original without red circles and pic of Justice Kennedy’s resignation/retirement.
I didn’t link Kennedy’s info only Bc it’s an easy search if anyone wants to reference. pic.twitter.com/pjzDLYgq7O— ✨Immaculate?LooLoo?✨ (@ImmaculateLoo) September 17, 2018
So: on the day Kennedy resigned, Victoria Hume, a key Kavanaugh ally and sherpa, was exchanging tweets with Mark Judge about youthful indiscretions. https://t.co/qdoSo6AVlr

Clearly Virginia Hume knew before anyone else that Brett Kavanaugh would be nominated to replace Anthony Kennedy and decided to joke about Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual predation on effing Twitter. You know, like ya do.
The full context of the @virginiahume pic. Worth noting that this thread started the day Kennedy announced his retirement. Before getting hyped up, though, it's worth noting this is more likely a reference to Judge's publicized alcohol issues than Kavanaugh's attempted rape. pic.twitter.com/Wc9diNmgkV

This obviously is about Judge's very public admission of alcoholism, you dolt. https://t.co/kAcr4lQDIB

But muh narrative.
This is an extremely stupid and unhelpful tweet.
If I find a tweet or Facebook post of Ford joking about her teenage hijinxes, it would be exactly as relevant as this.
People need to get more serious about this serious issue. https://t.co/hDilEEJloR

One would think the first rule of Secret Sexual Assault Club would be "Don't talk Secret Sexual Assault Club ESPECIALLY ON TWITTER".

So, so dumb.

This isn't reporting. This is shaming on a public feed.
The MSM is covering itself in anti-glory. https://t.co/w7BCjm02SO

Give yourselves a big hand, MSM.
