Kavanaugh’s College Roommate Releases Statement About New Accuser: ‘I Believe Her’
By Sarah Nechamkin
On Sunday, Deborah Ramirez came forward in The New Yorker to become the second woman publicly accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of s*xual assault. Ramirez alleges that Kavanaugh drunkenly exposed himself to her at a freshman-year dorm party at Yale University, where she says he thrust his p*nis in her face, and that she was made to touch it during her efforts to push him away.
Ramirez acknowledges that she, too, was drunk, and her memory from the 1983 incident is hazy; the report also did not confirm with every eyewitness that Kavanugh was at the alleged party. But a former classmate interviewed for the story said another student told him about the incident soon after, and that he is “one-hundred-per-cent sure” that Kavanaugh was the student to expose himself to Ramirez. Since the new allegation, two Yale alumni have also withdrawn from their letter of support for Kavanaugh. And now, his former roommate, James Roche, has spoken out in solidarity with Ramirez.
In a statement released to select reporters Monday night, Roche writes of his experience as Kavanaugh’s freshman-year roommate, concluding that “although Brett was normally reserved, he was a notably heavy drinker, even by the standards of the time, and that he became belligerent and aggressive when he was very drunk.” Though he says he does not remember the incident of alleged s*xual assault, he does remember Kavanaugh “frequently drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk.”
Roche also describes his friendship with Deborah Ramirez, saying “she stood out as being exceptionally honest, with a trusting manner.” He says Ramirez, a Puerto Rican woman who felt out of place among the privileged students of Yale, was worried about fitting in and tried hard to make friends and “get along.”
“Based on my time with Debbie, I believe her to be unusually honest and straightforward and I cannot imagine her making this up,” Roche writes. “Based on my time with Brett, I believe that he and his social circle were capable of the actions that Debbie described.”
“I do not consider myself a political person and I have no political agenda,” Roche writes. “I have shared this information with a small number of reporters who reached out to me directly because Debbie has a right to be heard and I believe her.”

Just the news people. Contrary to semi-popular belief, I don't hate you, or anyone else for reading it.

Wow where is the truth and will we ever hear it.
The people at the party probably didn't know all who were present....at the time of the party, let alone now, decades later,
Plus, the investigation only recently started.
then she should remember it so well...if it's me, it would live forever in my memory, unless it's monstrous
of course! his honor is at stake here...
it's going to be hard, very hard...the ladies will have a feast ...
The media isn't really helping the situation anyhow and they don't care what the exact truth is just as long they're able to buildup viewership.
I still stick by my comment in regards to the media only caring about building up their viewership.
By the way you can give me all the thumbs downs all you wish but they won't change my opinion(s) regarding this whole thing.

Keep up the smear campaign Jim . Better hope the DNC takes seven of the 9 at stake in the midterms in a few weeks . Barrett waiting in the wings , already been through the system and waiting on nomination . Let the liberals kiss their Roe v Wade goodbye . Church and state problems for the lefties coming with her to . Good slapdown coming for the liberals with that woman .

epirb Obviously JN doesn't need my help in defending himself cause he's obviously done pretty good on his own thus far.
I have to say that JN isn't the one doing the smearing as you've accused him of doing it's actually the media who's been doing all the smearing.
His college roommate describes quite a different guy (see text of blog), than the lily white one he describes himself as.
I believe people I've lived with could describe me more accurate at that time than I could describe myself back then too.
That's probably true for all people.
You can bet he was counseled.
