Another Yale classmate from Yale University, another yale student nominated for the Supreme Court, questioned the veracity of the nominee's testimony at the hearing, saying kavanaugh was usually "aggressive" when drunk.
Liz Swisher, a professor of medicine at the University of Washington and director of the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance's Breast and Ovarian Cancer Prevention Program, made an appearance on MSNBC and CNN on Friday, KING 5 reported. "There's no problem with drinking beer in college, the problem is lying. He was a party lover and often got drunk. He was more interested in impressing boys than in girls. Swisher told CNN.
Swisher also said that although the Supreme Court candidate lied about his drinking habits, she had never seen Kavanaugh sexually assaulted, nor was she another witness from Yale friend Deborah Ramirez.

Charles "Chad" Ludington, an associate professor of history at North Carolina State University, issued a statement saying Kavanaugh was "not telling the truth."
Ludington wrote: "Many times I hear Brett swear and see him faltering because of alcoholism. "When Brett got drunk, he often behaved well and aggressively."

Ludington writes that alcoholism at a young age should not be a reason to condemn a person for the rest of their lives. But he said the statements Kavanaugh is making now are crucial.
Ludington said he was a varsity basketball player and Kavanaugh enjoyed dealing with them. Ludington said he was "taken aback" when he saw Kavanaugh describe his drinking in an interview with Fox News and testify at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
Ludington believed that the ability to tell the truth should be the highest quality sought as a justice.
Luddington said he would not discuss Kavanaugh with the media, but would tell his story to the FBI.
Last week, Liz Swisher, a prominent internist in Seattle and at Yale University, said Kavanaugh was a "scruffy drunkard" at the university. James Roche, a freshman roommate, said Kavanaugh was "very much a drinker, even by the standards of the time, and he became aggressive when he was drunk."
Not all of Yale's friends have questioned Kavanaugh's drinking remarks. Former NBA player Chris Dudley said he often drank with Kavanaugh while at Yale and "never saw him get drunk."
