Kellyanne Conway: Allegations against Kavanaugh ‘feel like a vast left-wing conspiracy’

The New York Times interviewed dozens of people looking to confirm the allegations of a second Kavanaugh accuser, Deborah Ramirez, but could not find any source with firsthand knowledge of the incident.

“The Times had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate her story, and could find no one with firsthand knowledge,” the Times reported Saturday. “Ms. Ramirez herself contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.”

Conway said the Times could not go forward with reporting “because they have some standards,” even though the New Yorker ultimately ran with the story.

Conway said she feels a lot of the #MeToo movement has ended up falling onto Kavanaugh, despite the fact that none of the allegations against him have stemmed from a time when he was in power, but instead when he was a teenager.

“This may be the first time we ever heard of allegations against someone as a teenager that did not prey upon women thus as he became powerful,” Conway said.

Ramirez became the second woman to come forward with sexual assault allegations against the Supreme Court nominee.

She said Kavanaugh exposed himself to her while the two were freshman at a college party at Yale over three decades ago. However, Ramirez initially admitted that she was not sure of her own recollection because she was drunk at the time of the incident.
