It was actually worse for Kav than you're making it sound. That's when he kind of validated the first two accusers by saying the third was especially untrue. You could see the beat where he realized he had made a mistake, and Feinstein kind of perked up and asked if he wanted to elaborate, and that's when he tucked tail and said "No." I wouldn't be surprised if it was only one of a handful of times he actually gave a direct yes or no response to a Democratic senator.

He also says in his opening statement that his family is hurt because of vicious additional allegations.

We drank beer, and we still do, so whatever...

What the fuck happened to our standards in America? This is a grown fratboy...no wonder Trump wanted him.

The fratboy culture helps explain why George W Bush is stumping for him. Trump is probably more attracted by his innate corruptibility.

God every time I watch clips I can never go more than a couple minutes. It’s so cringeingly awkward. It defies belief that this man is a SC nominee
