He has no recollection of any such event occurring.
We now have 3 witnesses identified by Christine Blasey Ford who say her story is untrue. More importantly this third person was not accused, at least currently, as having participated in any illegal or morally repugnant actions so he has no reason to lie.
That combined with the fact that Christine Blasey Ford is unwilling to go under oath and tell Congress what she claims happened pretty much nails down the case that even she doesn't believe that she's credible. Given our current slander and libel laws even if Christine Blasey Ford is lying through her teeth she faces no risk of punishment unless she lies under oath hence her reluctance to testify under oath speaks volumes about her honesty.
It's easy to understand why some people, mostly women, tend to believe that a woman wouldn't lie about a sexual assault. Too often all we have is he said she said and to simply declare that that's a standoff means that real predators can walk free.
But we know that women do lie; especially in high profile cases. Some examples include the stripper who accused the Duke Lacrosse players, the woman who told Rolling Stone that a fraternity had raped her, and Nikki Yovino. Does this mean that most women lie? Of course not but it means that we can't simply assume that women never lie. Especially when it's in their self interest to do so. Women have lied because they didn't want their boyfriend to find out they'd cheated on him for example. In this case given the well established far left political beliefs of Christine Blasey Ford it's clear that she could well be motivated by an honest desire to save the country from what she perceives as unimaginable evil.
In this case we have 3 hes, one of whom has absolutely no reason to lie, and one she whose story has lots of problems; for example I can remember exactly where I was involved in a fender bender when I was in High School but she can't remember the house she was assaulted in.
Further unlike all the other #MeToo cases there is no history of Kavanaugh being accused of this sort of activity; on the contrary everyone who has known or worked with him say's that such actions are completely inconsistent with who Kavanaugh is.
Unless some startling new evidence is produce or if Christine Blasey Ford changes her mind and is willing to testify under oath there is absolutely no reason to believe her claims.
