UConn students after Kavanaugh confirmation: ‘scared’ of what the US has become

The literal insanity surrounding the Brett Kavanaugh saga continues, this time at Kavanaugh’s college neighbor, the University of Connecticut.

In a Daily Campus article titled “I’m Scared Of The Country I’ll Be Coming Home To,” several UConn students demonstrate how they’ve been utterly played by the mainstream media, the Democratic Party, and possibly some of their professors.

Acting major Adrianna Simmons, who’s studying abroad this semester, said she feels “helpless” that she cannot “stand in person” here at home.

“In the same way that I felt afraid to be a new freshman on campus when a sexual predator was elected to the presidency, I am afraid to return to a country where sexual assault is not seen as offensive enough to prevent someone from being voted into our highest offices,” she said.

Head-scratchingly, Simmons added that the “worst part” of returning to the US is the “atmosphere where rapes are overlooked.” She’s studying in the United Kingdom.

And it doesn’t get much better:

Hannah Smith, a fifth-semester history and women’s, gender and sexuality studies double major, said she is scared because the United States is becoming divided.

“I’m scared about the future of our nation,” Smith said. “It becomes more and more divided. It has become red versus blue, not what the country actually needs. (Democrats) blindly follow (Democrats) and (Republicans) blindly following (Republicans). We needed a more neutral nominee, not someone who is the most controversial appointee since 1881.” …

Rik Emery, a seventh-semester physiology and neurobiology major with a music minor, said he thinks Kavanaugh committed perjury during his trials.

“Kavanaugh lied to the Senate quite clearly, especially in the example of defining ‘boofing,’” Emery said. “The subject itself isn’t particularly of interest to me, but the fact that he lied about anything makes him guilty of perjury. He knows this, being a judge. We know what ‘boofing’ means. This is outrageous.”

As one who was in school at the same time as the judge (and in the northeast corridor, too), neither I nor any of my school/college friends have ever heard of the term “boofing,” let alone its “real” definition.

Thankfully, a couple of levelheded UConn undergrads added a dose of common sense to the mix. Business major Christine Savino said she thinks something happened to Kavanaugh accuser Christine Ford; however, defeating the judge on allegations alone “would have set a dangerous precedent” for due process.

Another student who (probably wisely) wished to remain anonymous said the whole confirmation fiasco “shows how every male should be very concerned with how a single woman’s word, however baseless, can destroy their life.”

You can thank Diane Feinstein, et. al. for that, Mr. Anonymous.
