Someone changed The Devil's Triangle Wikipedia page to match Kavanaugh's lie.
He lied under oath about all of those things because they go against the narrative that he put out, portraying himself as some sort of a choir boy when he was in High School.
And he bristled every time he was asked about his drinking in High School, to the point of being snarky and disrespectful to the Senator asking about it.
If lying under oath is not enough to disqualify someone from sitting on the SC then what is?
Kavanaugh also lied about several other entries in his yearbook like "FFFFFFourth of July," "boofed," "Beach Week Ralph Club – Biggest Contributor," and "Renate Alumnus."Wikipedia entry for 'Devil's Triangle' changed to match Kavanaugh's answer.
Brett Kavanaugh's senior yearbook page, like his 1982 calendar, had been like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
Wikipedia, the crowd-sourced online encyclopedia, was edited after his testimony to make his explanation of one of the mysteries make sense.
One of the puzzles had been what was meant by the term "Devil's Triangle."
The attorney Michael Avenatti suggested there was some sexual innuendo, and entries online had similarly nefarious definitions of the term.
Avenatti's client later accused Kavanaugh of being present at a party where she said she was "gang" raped.
Those accusations featured in the hearing, and Kavanaugh refuted them as pure fantasy during his opening statement.
It was not until questioning by Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, however, that Kavanaugh got to Devil's Triangle.
"Drinking game," said Kavanaugh to Whitehouse, who asked how you play.
"Three glasses in a triangle," said Kavanaugh.
"And?" said Whitehouse.
"You ever played quarters?" asked Kavanaugh.
"No," said Whitehouse.
"OK, it's a quarters game," said Kavanaugh.
It's not a very popular version of the game, however, since there wasn't any mention, per Google (people were immediately Googling), of Devil's Triangle as a type of quarters.
Quarters is where you try to bounce a quarter into a glass and may have to drink what's inside.
Who knows what they were doing in the '80s in Kavanaugh's set, but that particular game didn't penetrate much further into the world.
He lied under oath about all of those things because they go against the narrative that he put out, portraying himself as some sort of a choir boy when he was in High School.
And he bristled every time he was asked about his drinking in High School, to the point of being snarky and disrespectful to the Senator asking about it.
