Did Graham really say, "You're supposed to be Bill Cosby in your teenage years?"

[Baitball Blogger]

I am sure I misheard that. Anyone care to explain.

1. I hope that doesn't mean what it seems to mean...

That when you're a teenager you're expected to drug women so you can rape them??

2. I think the fact that he brought up Bill Cosby's name should open the door to

find out what he meant by it.

Of course, maybe I heard it wrong. I get lyrics to songs wrong, so maybe I misheard Graham.

3. You're taking it out of context,

I think he meant that sarcastically.

[Baitball Blogger]

4. That's helpful.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

[john657]

9. Just the tone of his voice when he said it led me to believe

it was sarcasm.

[OnDoutside]

5. I took it the same way too.

[dalton99a]

6. Yes, he did

GRAHAM: This is going to destroy the ability of good people to come forward because of this crap. Your high school yearbook — you have interacted with professional women all your life, not one accusation.

You’re supposed to be Bill Cosby when you’re a junior and senior in high school. And all of a sudden, you got over it.

8. Now I just imagined Graham as a "bill crosby" in HS. I need brain bleach

10. You should add a question mark to the end of this sentence,

You’re supposed to be Bill Cosby when you’re a junior and senior in high school. And all of a sudden, you got over it.

That's how it was conveyed.

If you listen to the audio, you can tell he was saying it sarcastically.

12. Bloomberg transcript.

Yeah, I watched the hearing

[john657]

14. Sorry, I didn't mean you as in you wrote the transcript,

I believe Bloomberg ended it with the wrong punctuation mark.

13. He's talking about Kavanaugh specifically, implying there'd be a lifetime of victims

... if Ford was telling the truth.

[john657]

15. Correct. n/t

[pintobean]

7. He was saying that sexual predators

don't just stop one day.

ETA: (jump to 2:45 for the context)

?t=160

[john657]

11. Exactly!!! n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

17. But, but, how does that help Kavanaugh?

[roamer65]

16. Who says Kavanaugh stopped?

1998.

[onecaliberal]

18. Yes he said exactly that.

[treestar]

19. A reason a lot of them are so defensive

They either did it or stood by while others did.
