From the article:
"Conservative social media lit up with the prospect that Whelan, regarded (at least until now) as a responsible commentator and political operative, had proof that would settle the issue in Kavanaugh’s favor. “Ed Whelan is the model of careful, discerning legal analysis and commentary. It’s why all of us who know him take everything he says and writes so seriously,” Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review, told Politico. Whelan writes on judicial issues for the magazine.

On Thursday evening, Whelan laid out his theory in a now-deleted Twitter thread that suggested Ford was indeed assaulted — but by another Georgetown Prep student who looked like the teenage Kavanaugh. Using a floor plan found in a Zillow listing and Google Maps, Whelan claimed to have identified the house described by Ford in her account. Whelan named the man he is accusing, but most news organizations have chosen not to.

Ford immediately dismissed the claim in a statement, saying that she knew both Kavanaugh and the classmate, and there was “zero chance” she would have confused them. On Friday morning, Whelan deleted the thread after hours of criticism, even by allies of Kavanaugh. Commenters pointed out the risk that the man he named — who has not spoken publicly about the accusation — could plausibly press a claim for defamation."

And the supporters would believe this! I can't I can't
