With the unsubstantiated allegations against Brett Kavanaugh continuing to pile up, some of his critics have zeroed in on a new gotcha on the SCOTUS nominee: the meaning of the words \u00ab\u00a0boof\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0Devil’s Triangle\u00a0\u00bb in his high school yearbook.<\/b>
\nWith the unsubstantiated allegations against Brett Kavanaugh continuing to pile up, some of his critics have zeroed in on a new gotcha on the SCOTUS nominee: the meaning of the words \u00ab\u00a0boof\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0Devil’s Triangle\u00a0\u00bb in his high school yearbook.
Even though the words \u00ab\u00a0boof\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0Devil’s Triangle\u00a0\u00bb may very well have had an entirely different meaning to a bunch of D. C. suburban teens in the early-’80s, Kavanaugh’s critics are promoting the narrative on social media that Kavanaugh lied under oath regarding the meaning of those terms. According to these critics, the \u00ab\u00a0Devil’s Triangle\u00a0\u00bb is not a drinking game, as Kavanaugh asserted during his testimony, but rather sex acts involving two guys and one girl; \u00ab\u00a0Boof\u00a0\u00bb refers to, well, something very NC-17; \u00ab\u00a0Renate Alumnus\u00a0\u00bb really was code for \u00ab\u00a0I tapped that.\u00a0\u00bb
Setting aside the problematic notion of combing through a high school yearbook and decoding inside jokes, for Kavanaugh to openly brag about it suggests a personality that was not only flippant but gleefully pernicious. Remember, many of those spreading this theory are the same people who have readily accepted that Kavanaugh was running a \u00ab\u00a0gang rape\u00a0\u00bb ring at age 15.
Politico is lending their weight to promoting the theory. In a piece published by Politico, Brian Fallon and Chris Kang, co-founders of a progressive group opposing Kavanaugh\u2019s nomination, call for the FBI to fully probe the meaning of a 17-year-old teen’s reference to \u00ab\u00a0boofing\u00a0\u00bb:
The article, of course, neglects to mention the fact that over 60 women and several of Kavanaugh’s classmates have openly rejected the portrait that Ford and Ramirez have painted of him, both of whom have failed to identify a single witness that can corroborate their accounts. For his critics, their uncorroborated accounts are more truthful than Kavanaugh’s assertion that \u00ab\u00a0boofing\u00a0\u00bb referred to flatulence and \u00ab\u00a0Devil’s Triangle\u00a0\u00bb was a drinking game.
\u00ab\u00a0Kavanaugh\u2019s answers to the Senate about the meaning of these yearbook references defy credulity\u2014and directly undermine his credibility,\u00a0\u00bb Fallon and Kang continue. \u00ab\u00a0They suggest he is unwilling to admit the truth about even the smallest of matters.\u00a0\u00bb
Fallon and Kang go on to assert that the FBI, who has already done six background checks on Kavanaugh, should do a comprehensive interview with several of his former High School to get to the bottom of these mysterious passages.<\/p>\n
