Dr. Christine Blasey Ford revealed during her testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee that she not only knew the man who was falsely accused by Brett Kavanaugh’s friend Ed Whelan of being the real perpetrator of her alleged assault, but she also went out with him. “He was somebody who, we use the phrase ‘went out with,’ I wouldn’t say date, but went out with for a few months,” she said, “and after that we were distant friends and ran into each other periodically.” Previously, Ford told The Washington Post that she “socialized” with both men, saying, “There is zero chance that I would confuse them.” The day after he doxxed the man in question on Twitter, Whelan apologized for his “appalling and inexcusable mistake of judgment.”
