I didn’t know guys like that.

Yes, the sheer extreme-ness of the accusation. That’s a standard feature of fabricators. Doesn’t mean Swetnick’s account isn’t accurate either, just raises a flag.

I am skeptical of her accusation specifically because the way she described these gang rapes featured many participants, witnesses, and victims — and no one’s come forward to corroborate it.

That’s fundamentally different from Blasey Ford’s allegation, in which the only witness is Mark Judge.
