Republicans Rush To Protect Kavanaugh, Edit ‘Devil’s Triangle’ Wikipedia To Make Him Look Innocent

This is the most desperate thing I've seen Republicans do.

To say that the Republican Party is terrified of midterm elections and what all this negative press surrounding Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is going to do to the GOP’s chances is an understatement. But if anyone needed proof of this, what just happened in the House of Representatives has been exposed as one of their most desperate moves yet.

Today during Kavanaugh’s hearing, the SCOTUS nominee explained that “Devil’s Triangle” was a “drinking game” he played — yet there was absolutely no evidence on the internet of that term being used to name or describe a drinking game. In fact, it’s actually known on many sites such as Urban Dictionary and Wikipedia as having to do with penetrating women — so fitting for Kavanaugh’s sexual assault allegations! That’s exactly why someone with a Congressional IP address tried to do their best to anonymously edit Wikipedia to make Kavanaugh look less like a rapist as the hearing went on.

The Wikipedia edit-tracking account “Congressional Edits” picked up on this weird behavior during its crawl through IP addresses and noted that “Devil’s Triangle (disambiguation)” was mysteriously edited anonymously from the US House of Representatives today at 21:18. Here’s the proof:

The edit that was made reads, “A popular drinking game enjoyed by friends of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.” However, before this edit was made on Wikipedia, “Devil’s Triangle” was known on that site and many others to be a purely sexual term, meant to describe places where someone penetrates a woman during sex. Yikes.

The GOP and Trump are truly desperate and panicking now, pulling at straws to try and save themselves from impending doom in the November midterm elections. Each tactic is more pathetic than the last as they try to prolong the inevitable.
