The Trump-Kavanaugh Look-Alike Theory by Jacob G. Hornberger

In deciding to go on the attack in the Judge Kavanaugh confirmation debate by "openly and publicly mocking" Ms Christine Blasey Ford at a political rally for purported "inconsistencies" in her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, President Trump might not realize that he has created an enormous inconsistency in his own position.

Actually, "contradiction" would be a better word to use. Moreover, President Trump might not realize that he has left his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, hanging out on a limb all by himself.

After Ms Ford delivered her testimony, many people, including me, found it to be powerful and credible. But such people also included President Trump and Judge Kavanaugh, something that people are likely to forget amidst the storm of the controversy.

Both President Trump and Judge Kavanaugh made it clear that they believed that Ms Ford was telling the truth - that she was in fact sexually assaulted.

With one exception, neither President Trump nor Judge Kavanaugh questioned any part of her testimony, including that part of her testimony in which she said she had been sexually assaulted in the particular house where Brett Kavanaughs friends were drinking.

What was the exception??

President Trump and Judge Kavanaugh maintained that it was simply a case of mistaken identity. They were essentially saying, yes, that Ms Ford had in fact been sexually attacked but that she had simply mistaken Brett Kavanaugh for someone who obviously looked like Brett Kavanaugh.

We can refer to this as the Brett Kavanaugh look-alike theory. It accepts the truthfulness of Ms Fords testimony except for her identification of Brett Kavanaugh as the attacker. It says that Ms Ford must be mistaking him for someone who looks like Brett Kavanaugh.

Yet, President Trump has now shifted gears. He is now pointing to what he calls "inconsistencies" in Ms Fords testimony. In his mocking tone, he is now insinuating that she made up the whole story - that she is lying about the assault even having taken place at all.

Obviously, accusing Ms Ford of making up the whole episode is a different theory from the Brett Kavanaugh look-alike theory. In fact, the two theories contradict each other.

Meanwhile, Judge Kavanaugh is sticking with the look-alike theory, at least as of now.

So, the question arises: Why has President Trump shifted gears and embraced a position that contradicts his previous position and that now contradicts the position of his Supreme Court nominee??

I think the answer becomes clear once we analyze the look-alike theory.

In order for the look-alike theory to be viable, there has to have been a high school colleague of Brett Kavanaugh who looked like him. Moreover, he would have had to be hanging around with the same friends that Brett Kavanaugh had. That is why he would have been at the party where Ms Ford was allegedly assaulted.

Indeed, the Brett Kavanaugh lookalike would also have had to be a good friend of Brett Kavanaughs good friend Mark Judge because Ms Ford contended that both Brett Kavanaugh and Mark Judge worked together to assault her. That means that Mark Judge would have been good friends with both Brett Kavanaugh and the Brett Kavanaugh lookalike.

Therefore, let us assume that the Brett Kavanaugh lookalike story is viable. That would mean that both Brett Kavanaugh and Mark Judge would have to know who the lookalike was or likely was. Or even if they forgot which of their friends looked like Brett Kavanaugh, all they would have to do is go back through the yearbook and look for which ones of their good friends looked like Brett Kavanaugh.

Given the relatively small number of boys within their circle of friends, it should not have been difficult to identify the Brett Kavanaugh lookalike who might have committed the assault.

In fact, after President Trump and Judge Kavanaugh came up with the Brett Kavanaugh lookalike theory, one person actually embraced it and began looking for the alleged Brett Kavanaugh lookalike.

Presumably he scoured the high school yearbook looking for the lookalike.

And guess what!!

He found a person who he was convinced was the Brett Kavanaugh lookalike and actually publicly named him, no doubt thinking that he was going to be hailed as a hero by both President Trump and Judge Kavanaugh and thanked profusely for his investigative service.

Yet, no doubt to the mans surprise, neither President Trump nor Judge Kavanaugh exclaimed, "Yes, that has to be the Brett Kavanaugh lookalike who sexually assaulted Ms Christine Ford. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

Instead, both President Trump and Judge Kavanaugh stayed silent about the alleged Brett Kavanaugh lookalike.

The man soon realized that in pursuing the Brett Kavanaugh lookalike theory, he had placed himself on a precarious limb, which was now cracking, especially given the possibility of a libel or slander case by the alleged lookalike.

He scurried back down the limb and down the tree, where he acknowledged his error and apologized to the alleged lookalike.

But then where does that leave us??

It leaves us without a Brett Kavanaugh lookalike or even a suspected Brett Kavanaugh lookalike. Yet, if the Kavanaugh lookalike theory is valid, then Brett Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge are in the best position to tell us who the lookalike might be.

To date, both of them have failed to come up with even one possible Brett Kavanaugh lookalike who could have been the one who allegedly assaulted Ms Christine Blasey Ford. For that matter, as far as I know, not one of Brett Kavanaughs and Mark Judges high school friends has come forward with a list of possible Brett Kavanaugh lookalikes.

For her part, Ms Ford has stated unequivocally that she knew Brett Kavanaugh before the assault and that she is 100 percent certain that he, not a Brett Kavanaugh lookalike, sexually assaulted her.

Presumably she was able to see his face when he was allegedly on top of her, putting his hand over her mouth, and trying to rip off her clothes.

Thus, the Brett Kavanaugh lookalike theory appears to be dead in the water, which, in my opinion, is why President Trump had now decided to shift gears by now suggesting that Ms Ford made the whole thing up, even though that now leaves his nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh still hewing to the Brett Kavanaugh lookalike theory, which is the opposite of President Trumps new theory.
