A classmate of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is backing off of claims that she knew anything about an alleged sexual assault committed by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Cristina King Miranda, who attended high school with Ford, wrote on Facebook this week that she heard school rumors about an incident involving Kavanaugh and Ford back in the 1980s. Miranda later deleted the post and said she did not want to talk to the media about her claims.
However, Miranda spoke to NPR on Thursday and clarified that she has no information about an alleged assault.
“That it happened or not, I have no idea,” Cristina King Miranda told NPR’s Nina Totenberg. “I can’t say that it did or didn’t.”
Miranda’s new statement directly contradicts her Facebook post, in which she wrote, “The incident DID happen, many of us heard about it in school.”
“In my post, I was empowered and I was sure it probably did [happen],” Miranda told NPR this morning. “I had no idea that I would now have to go to the specifics and defend it before 50 cable channels and have my face spread all over MSNBC news and Twitter.”
Miranda said the Senate Judiciary Committee reached out to her after her post but that she would not testify if asked.
Dr. Ford previously said she had not told anyone about the incident until a therapist meeting in 2012. Ford also said the incident happened during the summer, contradicting Miranda’s assertion that she heard rumors about it in school.
Welcome to the real world of modern day politics, Ms. King....................
A week and Christine Ford still doesn’t have a single character witness.
Case closed and its time to move on.
#metoo. I an important also! Miranda you are not important.
Did she really think she could speak out and not be called on it ? Apparently so.
When push comes to shove and people are held responsible for what they say and do, behavior changes quickly.
“Look at me!!!”
“No, wait....don’t.....”
“In my post, I was empowered ...”
The only social media posts that have ever left me feeling “empowered” also ended up getting me banned. False rape allegations don’t violate terms of use. Interesting.
“In my post, I was empowered and I was sure it probably did [happen],”
So helping to destroy a man’s life and subvert the constitutional system was ok, because she was EMPOWERED BY SOCIAL MEDIA. Taking responsibility for her false statements = not so empowering.
This business of manufacturing claims because the leftist believes such thing could happen has to stop. It will not stop until a heavy price is paid. I sense Clinton-stench on the original accusation.
bttt
Christina Miranda wanted to impress her friends on Facebook by bragging that she knew about the incident, and it definitely happened. Then, when her comments were picked up by others, and it looked like she might be brought into this by the media, she quickly changed her tune.
"Because I'm a liberal Democrat and I never thought our media would treat me this way! WHAAA!!!!"
Doesn’t matter. It’s out there, and it’s still echoing that she remembers the talk about the incident.
Well then, Cristina, maybe you should have kept your big, fat, lying mouth shut!!
VOTE!
VOTE....
It supposedly happened in the summer, how was it all over school?
She thought she would be a hero for her fellow female leftists, but she found out she would have to stand by the lie. Oops.
You know, I am kinda liking this.
All these feminazis have been playing this smear campaign since Clinton pushed his Sexual harassment BS back in 93.
Now these younger headcases thing they can post on social media the same way they smeared Men thru rumors.
Now the bitches are getting called out on it.
My thoughts? ABOUT freaking time!
The foundation of your Constitutional Republic is the right to face your accuser. Regardless of allegation, no one should be prosecuted or persecuted by a star chamber.
