PERSON: Maura Fitzgerald

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 Fitzgerald says she and Kavanaugh were good friends in high school and began dating in college. She says in her statement, “Brett Kavanaugh and I have been good friends since high school. I dated him in college and he was and is nothing like the person who has been described. He always conducted himself honorably with me at all times when we were together. He was always a perfect gentleman, and I vouch for him completely.”

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.
