In one of Brett M. Kavanaugh’s responses to allegations that he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl when he was in high school, a charge he has denied “categorically and unequivocally,†he suggested that, perhaps, this was a case of mistaken identity.
Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), a member of the Judiciary Committee, reiterated this notion, saying that perhaps the accuser was “mixed up.†And on Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board also floated the possibility of mistaken identity.
As crazy as that sounds, it wouldn’t be unheard of. And, given the high regard in which Kavanaugh has been held throughout his life, including during high school, it would make the most sense. Could there be a Kavanaugh doppelganger?
His accuser, California psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford, alleges that, while partying in a house with other teens, she was pushed into a bedroom and found herself alone with a drunk Kavanaugh, then 17, and another boy, Mark Judge. While Judge allegedly watched and laughed, Ford says Kavanaugh pinned her down on the bed and tried to remove her clothes.
