Another Brett Kavanaugh classmate from Yale, Charles Ludington, has described the judge as a "belligerent and aggressive" drunk. Ludington, a professor at North Carolina State University, will be speaking about Kavanaugh to the FBI today.
In a statement he gave to The Washington Post, he says that the last time he socialized with Kavanaugh, he witnessed the aggressive judge overreact to a remark that displeased him by throwing his beer into the person's face.
"On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man's face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail," Ludington said.
In his hearing last week, Kavanaugh denied drinking heavily, which Ludington says is a lie. He told the Post, "“I do not believe that the heavy drinking or even loutish behavior of an 18 or even 21 year old should condemn a person for the rest of his life. However...if he lied about his past actions on national television, and more especially while speaking under oath in front of the United States Senate, I believe those lies should have consequences."
