Kavanaugh Friend: "When Brett Got Drunk, He Was Often Belligerent and Aggressive"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
