Quote:Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s freshman-year roommate is accusing Kavanaugh of lying under oath about his college drinking habits. Jamie Roche, who shared a dorm with Kavanaugh at Yale, penned an op-ed for Slate in which he said Kavanaugh “baldly” lied under oath “without hesitation or reservation.” “His willingness to lie to avoid embarrassment throws doubt on his denials about the larger questions of sexual assault,” Roche wrote in the op-ed. Roche also told CNN Wednesday night that the Supreme Court nominee was “notably heavier in his drinking than other people” in college, and offered examples purporting to contradict Kavanaugh’s testimony. “I didn’t socialize with Brett,” Roche told CNN. “But being in the same room where he slept, I saw him when he arrived at home regularly and I saw him in the morning. And I can tell you that he would come home and he was incoherent, stumbling.” “He would sometimes be singing,” Roche continued. “He would throw up. And then in the morning would have a lot of trouble getting out of bed. … I saw him both what I would consider black out drunk and also dealing the repercussions of that in the morning.”Yale roommate: Kavanaugh lied about drinking | TheHill
