a republican operative pushing the nomination of brett kavanaugh suggested another suspect from brett kavanaugh s high school class because he looks like brett kavanaugh in their high school photos. now, we re not going to show you those photos posted on twitter because it is so reckless and irresponsible a charge that republican ed wheelin who posted this theory has completely retracted it. ed wheelin is head of an organization that falsely calls itself the ethics and public policy center. and he s obviously a morally bankrupt ethically vacant human being. but he works closely on supreme court confirmations. and the most interesting part of ed wheelin s perverse theory of the case is that he completely accepts the idea that dr. ford was sexually assaulted, it just wasn t brett kavanaugh. that tells you that the republican machinery that is working overtime to defend brett kavanaugh is expecting dr. ford to be so convincing a witness

blueprints of a house he seems to think the sexual assault could have occurred in. and ed wheelin then went onto name the person who he thinks might have done it. and he posted a picture of him. it s a high school classmate of brett kavanaugh who kind of vaguely looks like brett kavanaugh sort of. dr. blasy ford released a statement which has gone viral. i knew them both and socialized with, the man s name which he was redacted here, i even visited the man s name when he was in the hospital. there is zero chance that i would confuse them. so for all those people who like senator orin hatch think that kris teen blasy ford is just a mixed up lady dr. ford is saying tonight she definitively is not just mixed up about this. she didn t just confuse these two guys. and now some random middle
