Liberal media outlets are using Facebook and other social outlets as a dragnet for other women who might want to accuse embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, proclaiming that “the truth will emerge.”
Journalists and sources for ABC, the Washington Post, PBS and others are targeting sites like Facebook’s members only Holton-Arms alumnae for women who might have met Kavanaugh while in high school, suggesting strongly and without evidence that many others were abused.
“Hi ladies, I’m Holton class of 1991 and an investigative producer/reporter for ABC National News. I would really appreciate any leads on Kavanaugh,” posted Lauren Pearle. She added, “Hopefully, the truth will emerge.”
Kavanaugh’s accuser, Professor Christine Blasey Ford, went to Holton-Arms when she claims a drunken Kavanaugh molested her at a private party when he was a student in the early 1980s at Georgetown Prep less than 10 miles away from Holton-Arms. Kavanaugh has forcefully denied the charges, and his friends have also said they never saw him do anything wrong.
In another Facebook post, Holton-Arms alum Maggie Quiroga Mainor wrote, “If you have any connections from back in 1978 to 1982, please contact ASAP. I’m in touch w(i)th WaPo and other papers who want to support Dr. Ford.”
A third Holton-Arms alum, Sabah Fatima, wrote on Facebook, “Hi! I’m looking for Cristina King Miranda. My very dear friend from childhood, Amna Nawaz, is at PBS newshour and would love to talk to her.”
She added, “As the mob closes around Dr. Ford, as she goes into hiding, as her life changes forever, please do everything you can to ensure justice is done.”
On her Facebook page, Nawaz posted an unsigned note from a former pal of Ford who said the alleged incident "was spoken about for days afterwards in school."
The Senate Judiciary Committee is hoping to get Kavanaugh and Ford at a Monday hearing to clear up the issue, but Ford is threatening to stay away unless the FBI investigates her charge and vague details. The committee and President Trump said the FBI isn't planning to investigate.
The social media dragnet comes just days after a woman helping Ford’s lawyer emailed Kavanaugh’s classmates also seeking dirt.
That memo on behalf of lawyer Debra Katz said, “Probably more so than Ms. Blasey Ford, many of us knew and hung out with Brett, Mark Judge, and their friends, we went to the same parties, to beach week, etc. It sounds like we likely had many more interactions with him than Ms. Blasey Ford. I have never met her, but the story that she is telling sounds plausible to me, and I believe her. Assuming that she is telling the truth, the odds are good that there may be other women who had a similar experience, and I am reaching out to you to help find out if this is the case.”
