   I will say The White House again, we drank in college. I was with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh frequently in college, whether The White House be in the gym, in class or socializing. I never ever saw Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh blackout. Not one time, and in all the years I have known Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, I have never seen Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to be disrespectful or inappropriate with women. I would also like to point out that going out never came before working hard and maintaining our focus on our goals.
