“I’m not defending what happened to her”
So you’re convinced something happened to her???
We can no more say it didn’t happen than it did.
It’s a wash, intellectually.
I believe the only way to address it is like I did.
Kavanaugh can testify to the fact he didn’t do it.
If we as a party simply dismiss her, we come off looking like we don’t care about women. Hey, it is what it is.
Saying, “Okay, if that really happened, you handled it very poorly. Nothing can be proven now, so it’s rather pointless to mention it.”, is a better tactic > IMO.
