29. If that's what it was, then why doesn't he man up and apologize for the behavior?

No, he doubles down by lying about it.

She's admitting that she believes Dr. Ford with her comment. And if she believes Dr. Ford, then Kavanaugh is lying. She thinks a liar is an appropriate person to put on the Supreme Court?

And no, plenty of men--even when they were teenagers--did not sexually assault women. It's not ok. Is that what she's teaching all those girls in her family. Just lie back and enjoy it, dear. They're entitled? And I guess if one of the neighborhood boys breaks in her to her house and rapes her, that's what she's going to say? Oh, ok, dear. Here have at it. Boys will be boys.

I agree with you. Can you go somewhere else for Thanksgiving this year?
