Just in time for the presidential election year, Christine Blasey Ford is back. The woman who the Democrats put on national television in 2018 to accuse SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in the early 1980s without any evidence, is promoting her new book. About what exactly? Oh yes, detailing what life was like before, during, and after, her testimony. Of course.
During those confirmation hearings’ six years, the media held Ford up as a martyr and hero, standing up for victims everywhere. We were told to “believe all women,” and that then-Judge Kavanaugh was not worthy of due process and would have to prove his innocence. The entire charade was a vomitous assault on what is supposed to be a fair, contemplative, and constitutional process. Instead, the senate Democrats deciding shouting “Witch!” at Kavanaugh was the better idea.
Now, Ford is sailing through book “interviews” which amount to nothing more than a big hug with the most supportive friends in the world. The New York Times has “reviewed” the book. Words like “lucid,” “important,” and “prosaic” set their tone. After all, what else are they going to do, be skeptical? And we know that’s not allowed.
The media continues to use the “believe all women” nonsense by default for women they like, with no real curiosity or any hint of skepticism. This despite the astonishing problem with an attitude presuming a man, not charged with or convicted of any crime, is guilty of the horrible crime his accuser alleges. Kavanaugh, as we know, powerfully condemned the accusation, asserted his innocence, and denies her allegation ever happened.
All of this is part of a machine, using Ford once again to re-smear Justice Kavanaugh, and like Anita Hill, she appears to being well rewarded for that “sacrifice.” Besides a book deal, the Times review did share a bit about how Ford is treated by the leftist establishment: “There are some perks from being in the public eye. Blasey Ford is served bisque by Laurene Powell Jobs, sleeps over at Oprah Winfrey’s house, goes backstage at a Metallica concert. Her sons get the actual shirt off Steph Curry’s back at a Golden State Warriors game.” That’s’ pretty heady stuff, which certainly impressed the Times reviewer. But it’s not because she’s in the public eye, it’s because she did deliver a political hit for the leftist establishment. For a woman whose supporters often said that she had “nothing to gain” with her testimony, it seems that wasn’t entirely accurate.
Keep in mind, she continues to tell a story that her own “witness,” a girlfriend who was also at the small party, disputes. In their book about the attack on Kavanaugh, Carrie Severino and Mollie Hemingway wrote:
“Her four named witnesses to the event all denied knowledge of it, some vociferously so. Even her lifelong friend Leland Keyser, who worked very hard to come up with anything, came to doubt her friend’s story entirely. And when she refused to say otherwise, mutual acquaintances tried to get her to change her story. Some U.S. senators thought the witness tampering so egregious that it should be prosecuted.”
After saying while she didn’t have any recollection of a party or of that happening to Ford, she said she still believed Ford’s account. A year later, in 2019, that changed, In an interview with two New York Times reporters for their book about Kavanaugh, The Washington Examiner reported:
“’In fact, she [Keyser] challenged Ford’s accuracy.’ […] ‘Those facts together I don’t recollect, and it just didn’t make any sense,’ Keyser told the authors… ‘It would be impossible for me to be the only girl at a get-together with three guys, have her leave, and then not figure out how she’s getting home,’ Keyser told Pogrebin and Kelly [the authors]. ‘I just really didn’t have confidence in the story.’”
Those same reporters then try to explain away Keyser’s opinion of Ford’s story by smearing her with a cheap shot: “Keyser’s memory might be affected by her struggles with alcohol and other substances.” Lovely.
So, let me see if I understand this now: we’re believing all women, except the women who contradict the preferred narrative. Got it.
And then there are the women of the “The View.” Yes, Ford was met with the standard slobbery and incurious lovefest as she joined the show to talk about the book, but Joy Behar revealed an important element of the left’s woke demands—she chastised some men in the audience for not applauding Ford. In today’s woke environment, we are all very familiar with the tactic of bullying and shaming those who do not conform or at least pretend they agree with the leftist narrative. This is how totalitarianism works, and I’m thrilled those who did not appreciate the circus refused to applaud. I certainly would not have done so.
Throughout this charade, the seriousness of the issues itself is damaged. The weaponizing of the issue for a political scalp was obscene and unconscionable. The generational effort to help victims of sexual violence have access to justice was shockingly damaged by the slow-motion train wreck the world witnessed during the Kavanaugh hearings. As an advocate for women during most of my adult life, I can tell you ours was not a demand to destroy due process for the accused, or an insistence that accusers be automatically believed simply because they were women. Quite the opposite, in fact. If you need to ask people to ignore the principles of real justice, then you are telling people the accuser can’t be trusted. Ours was advocacy asking society and the justice system to simply take women seriously and treat them fairly when they came forward with an accusation.
The Democrats’ position condemning due process, saying the accused must prove his innocence, and the accuser’s veracity was not to be questioned, are exactly the positions you take when you know your allegation is false and can’t survive scrutiny. It reinforced the scurrilous belief that women used victimhood as a weapon against men. It had taken generations of advocacy to persuade Americans about the truth—that domestic violence, sexual violence, and sexual harassment were serious issues, and that women did not use these experiences as a pretext for attention, personal benefit, or their own malign intentions.
This appalling game did monumental damage to efforts to curtail the serious problem of sexual misconduct and was an insult to women who have genuinely suffered from such abuse. It also damaged those decades of work convincing people of the truth that women wanted only justice, not contrived revenge.
Red Solo cups.
I am sure the timing of the book is just a coincidence.
Who?
Does she still speak in a high pitched little girl voice (HPLGV)?
Fake Rape on Fake News
wish someone would autotune that and make is more annoying. lol.
I’m gonna name her squeaky....that little voice that sounds like a rodent. I think that makes it a two fer.
If political opponents are able to dredge up dirt, whether real or manufactured, from peoples’ distant past, then the only people who will be qualified to work in any aspect of government will be sociopaths from birth who assiduously avoid any semblance of impropriety, e.g. Pence.
I’ll bet they have 3-4 hos all lined up ready to claim Trump sniffed their hair in 1985.* Just in time for the election.
* biden does it all the time, but he is not subject to the laws of this waning republic.
She’s like that twit Letitla. No evidence to back up claims of any crime committed but that doesn’t keep the Lame Street Media from breathing life into those corpses.

Mendacity and chicanery abound this season. If you need the facts, make them up, and if challenged, assert the divine invective and accuse the doubter of being an agent of the Devil and probably a poor sport as well.
Lies, damned lies and dirty statistics are all being thrown into the mix this year, as there is a very outspoken faction that has cast off all approaches to reason and logic, and is loudly proclaiming the inalterable criminality of any and all rivals, reality be cursed.
I had no inclination to believe that whole thing, but when she claimed to not know what the phrase “on your behalf” meant, I was completely done.
The fact her entire internet and social media history was erased prior to the hearing was extraordinary - no videos of any lectures, etc. to exist.
Never believe any woman who claims she was assaulted.
Demand medical evidence, procured within 24 hours of “the assault”.
If she doesn’t have that, then kick her out the door.
Totally serious. This crap has got to stop. Women lie, and everyone knows it.
What the democrats and the left have done using this willing person to create a crime out of thin air, God calls “bearing false witness”.
Everyone who has been subjected to this assault by the democrats and the left on made up charges is being denigrated and their future damaged by these false charges. Many have not been able to have the accusations removed from the public consciousness, which taints their every public and private encounter.
Those who have participated is these unjust and corrupt accusations will be judged by God as guilty and will be rightly punished for their offense.
Unless they repent (go in the opposite direction) of their sins and accept the complete atonement for their sin freely given by Jesus, they will die in their sins and will have no hope of forgiveness.
Please turn away from your sin, today. It’s not too late.
In this case, no evidence exists that the two have ever been in the same room!
Happened to hear Dana Loesch who firmly said:
Christine Blasey Ford is a predator. She set out to destroy a man and Trump turned out to be her target.👿
Elmore Leonard wrote once that women shouldn’t be getting away with phony little girl voices. After that I noticed it.
They think it’s cute and will win sympathy to cover deceitful conniving.
Mizzz Ballsy-Fraud INSISTED that she called her friend on her cell phone that night. Only there were no cell phones in 1985.
But, yes, we are to ABSOLUTELY believe her. And once she accuses someone, well, he’s DEFINUTELY guilty. After all, he’s a republican man.
