Nathan J. Robinson, editor-in-chief of Current Affairs, explains why it's pretty clear to see Brett Kavanaugh is a liar. (Image: Screenshot/YouTube/Current Affairs)
Recognizing that his 10,000-word essay was potentially "a lot" for some consumers, Nathan J. Robinson, editor-in-chief of Current Affairs magazine, has created a video version with the same title--"How We Know Kavanaugh Is Lying"--for those who might find it easier to digest.
Robinson first published his essay on Saturday, after the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, but the video version was posted online Monday evening.
If you have 15 minutes and want to hear a good explanation of why Kavanaugh proved himself a liar whereas Ford came out of her testimony more credible than even before she went in, you can watch the video below:
If you like to read lots of smart words stringing together cogent arguments and facts, there's a link to Robinson's essay right here.
As numerous observers and lawmakers have now pointed out, if it's shown definitively that Kavanaugh lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee while under oath, that would be a clear case of perjury and "disqualifying" for a nominee seeking a lifetime seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Indeed, as Sen. Bernie Sanders declared Monday night, if Kavanaugh lied about anything that would be a "federal crime."
