Dear Professor Christine Blasey Ford,
Like millions of women, I watched you testify about the worst day of your life. Millions of us identified with your fear and wondered if we would be brave enough to wrestle ourselves past that grip of terror if we were in your shoes. Millions of us watched how you held onto the tears that wanted to come up; we know where that place is in the body — the place that pushes down on the rising tide of remembered pain. We know how hard that is. We’ve been holding onto our tears for a long time — some of us, like you, for decades.
I wonder how you feel now that Brett M. Kavanaugh’s hand — the one you say clamped down on your mouth when you were 15 — is now on the scales of justice. I wonder if you feel that everything you went through wasn’t worth it, that it accomplished nothing. I hope your family and friends are assuring you that you did make a difference in this country. You did move the needle, even though so many who politely listened to you decided to ignore your story. I want to add my voice and let you know that I speak for crowds of women who are only now feeling that they can speak out and reveal their own stories.
You spoke for all the women and girls who stood under scalding hot showers trying to scrub away the feel and smell of their rapist. Who shut their eyes against their tears and made up their minds to tell no one because silence was safer — and who would believe them anyway? You spoke for the mothers who are only now learning that their daughters were assaulted by a friend,

Why hasn’t she been on 60 Minutes? Why hasn’t she gone to yukk it up with Whoopi Goldberg on the View??
I want to hear her normal tone and cadence and inflection of voice.
How many years is she going to have to use the squeaky voice now?
Yeah, right, I’ll remember this clown by her fake baby voice, lies about her second door at the house, fear of flying etc.
The Demonrats will think what a difference in November when we gain more Senate seats and will have the power to move an even more conservative justice on the USSC once Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg meets Satan.
man, if only Ronnie had pulled out...
Is this written by Ronald Reagan’s daughter Patti Davis? Sounds like her imbecilic brain....Please tell me there is only one of them on the planet!!
This is nothing short of messiah worship.
They won't be able to hold them after election day, all thanks to Dr. Ford!
Sorry - should have read the whole thing but if it was HER, I didn’t need to!!! She’ll never grow up either so no wonder she thinks Blasy-Ford did a great thing!
Good Gawd the author is a completely ridiculous drama queen!
If Ballsy Ford was truthful (she wasn’t), some teenage boy grabbing her fully clothed boobs 36 years ago is now the same as violent rape? And this happened 36 years ago, and she still claims the boob grabbing DESTROYED her life?
There are women who are genuine victims of rape and serious sexual violence; this BS #metoo movement is actually minimizing real victims of real rape.
Ballsy Ford is a liar and a fraud. The author is a drama queen fool.
Patti Davis, lol. One pathological liar to another.
“Patti Davis, lol. One pathological liar to another.”
Sadly, none of Ronald Reagan’s “natural born” children have turned out in his image. Only Michael, whom Reagan and his first wife adopted is a decent man.
Yeah, a “worst day” that was so terrible she can’t remember anything about it — not even which day it was!
Commentators on WaPo and other lefty rags call opposing posters “Putin bots”, and they really believe that.
Bwahahahahaha!!!!
She did make a difference.
She was the person who packed the Democrat Party into the car, and drove it past it’s Thelma and Louise moment.
C R A C K U P !
Yep, Ron Reagan is a flaming liberal and idiot.
Well, come to think of it, liberal and idiot are synonymous.
meh
It’s Patti Davis after all
