PERSON: Maura Kane

Maura Fitzgerald and Maura Kane and both ex-girlfriends of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. On September 17, both women issued a statement talking about Kavanaugh’s good character. The two women both described Kavanaugh in glowing terms. The picture they painted was a far cry from the one painted by Chrstine Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of holding her down and trying to rape her when they were both in high school.

Maura Kane says she dated Kavanaugh back in high school and has stayed friends with him ever since. She wrote, “I’ve been friends with Brett Kavanaugh for over 35 years, and dated him during high school. In every situation where we were together he always respectful, kind and thoughtful. The accusations leveled against him in no way represent the decent young man I knew. We remain good friends and I admire him as a husband, father and professional.”

Both Maura Kane and Maura Fitzpatrick attended Georgetown Visitation, according to an interview they gave to Fox News on Monday evening. Georgetown Visitation is the sister school to Georgetown Prep, the exclusive prep school that Brett Kavanaugh attended. Both high schools are single-sex; Georgetown Prep is all boys, and Georgetown Visitation is only for girls.

Kane and Fitzgerald say they knew Kavanaugh well, since the two schools were encouraged to socialize together. They both said that they certainly drank beer while in high school — Maura Kane stressed that drinking was legal for 18 year olds at that time. Both women said that they had never seen Kavanaugh get out-of-control drunk.
