Are those in this thread against the man because he's a man or because he's a Republican?

People who say they believe one over the other with so little info are partisan, but I think there needs to be an investigation.
I am familiar with false claims of sexual abuse. The biggest question I have about this one is why she included Kavanaugh's friend. If she was just making this all up she would not have included another person who would be a witness to say Kavanaugh did not do it.
People who think she is making it up just because she did not file a complaint back when it happened don't understand that that happens all the time for lots of reasons. And the fact that she is sketchy on other details is also not that important. I have some amazing stories from events in my high school/college days that I don't recall the exact date or how I got there.
Generally false claims of sexual assault fall into two categories. Either the woman had a boyfriend and does not want him to find out she had sex with another guy, or else there is some reason the woman is mad at the alleged perpetrator. Since she did not have sex with him I don't see how the first one could apply, and I have no idea how she knew Kavanaugh and the other guy back then so it is impossible to speculate on the second.
