'Moral obligation': Three of Kavanaugh college buddies come forward to bust him on lies about drunkenness

Three of Brett Kavanaugh's college drinking buddies penned an op-ed to implore the Senate to not confirm the nominee — and acknowledged that they did so at the risk of their own livelihoods.

"We each asserted that Brett lied to the Senate by stating, under oath, that he never drank to the point of forgetting what he was doing," Charles Ludington, Lynne Brookesand Elizabeth Swisher wrote in an editorial for the Washington Post.

"We said, unequivocally, that each of us, on numerous occasions, had seen Brett stumbling drunk to the point that it would be impossible for him to state with any degree of certainty that he remembered everything that he did when drunk," they wrote.

The three Kavanaugh friends acknowledged that although they've been threatened and accused of "attempting to ruin a man’s life because of his drunken antics as a college student," they also noted that he was far from alone in his exploits.

"In fact, none of us condemned Brett for his frequent drunkenness," they wrote. "We drank too much in college as well. It is true that Brett acknowledged he sometimes drank 'too many beers.' But he also stated that he never drank to the point of blacking out."

The three wrote that they have gotten hate mail, violent threats and lost friends — and that one had their work server hacked.

"That is our one and only message, but it is a significant one," they wrote. "For we each believe that telling the truth, no matter how difficult, is a moral obligation for our nation’s leaders."

"No one should be able to lie their way onto the Supreme Court," the trio continued. "Honesty is the glue that holds together a society of laws. Lies are the solvent that dissolves those bonds."
