Ronan Farrow reports on Brett Kavanaugh’s alleged rape attempt  (That’s what this secret document was probably about)

We are to believe that Republicans on @senjudiciary assembled this list of 65 women, none of whom could have attended his all-boys prep school, in the past day. It’s clear now that knew about this allegation of Kavanaugh’s attempted rape, and supported him anyway. https://t.co/BBS8kRxiz8
