Everyone is questioning whether Ford is mis-remembering. But I don’t understand why nobody has brought up the possibility that Kavanaugh is mis-remembering? That seems far more likely to me, since multiple people have said that he had a history of getting drunk and it affecting his personality. It also isn’t uncommon for people who were drunk to not remember what they did while they were drunk.
If it can be shown that in fact he was often drunk, then the “he-said-she-said” balance would seem to tip in HER favor.
