21. I have been consistent as have many others

I wanted an investigation of Kavenaugh and want one of Fairfax. Before the hearing I would say that the accusation against Kavenaugh was similar to the second one against Fairfax (seemingly credible women, both told others before the men became famous) Once the hearing was over Kavenaugh showed himself to be a liar.
