Kavanaugh Friend: “When Brett Got Drunk, He Was Often Belligerent and Aggressive”

HeadlineOct 01, 2018

A friend of Kavanaugh’s from Yale has accused him of lying about his drinking habits in college. Charles Ludington said, “When Brett got drunk, he was often belligerent and aggressive. On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man’s face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail.” Several other of Kavanaugh’s classmates have made similar remarks about Kavanaugh’s drinking. Last week another one of Kavanaugh’s classmates at Yale, Louisa Garry, withdrew her support for Kavanaugh. She had been featured in an ad by the Judicial Crisis Network.
