Jill Abramson 'Shudders' to Think of Republicans 'Destroying' Christine Ford

Jill Abramson: suffering from Anita Hill flashbacks?

The author of the anti-Clarence Thomas book Strange Justice appeared on CNN this morning. Introducing her, Alisyn Camerota said, "you say that you shudder to think what will happen" when Christine Ford is questioned at Monday's scheduled Senate hearing.

Replied Abramson:

"I think that the Republicans, despite all the changes that have happened in the generations since those [Clarence Thomas] hearings, are still going to go in with a strategy to save this nomination at all costs. And if that means destroying, destroying Dr. Ford, I hate to even think about it, but I think it's going to be the same kind of political circus that we saw back in 1991. That's what worries me."

Yes, ANNIHILATE her for lying and trying to ruin an honorable man’s life. Cut out her tongue and put her head on a spit. Let her serve as a warning to others.

I don’t think she will show up on Monday. The woman cannot possibly testify under oath.

Looks like a standup guy, nice family. The Dems are the ones who are despicable.

Dems assumed that the country was racist and that the country would believe that a black man, Clarence Thomas, was a sexual predator. They were wrong.

The left has moved on to the assumption that the country would believe that Every man is a sexual predator, and that every woman is a victim.

If Grassley allows the public into the gallery then it will be the pussy hat screaming metoo hags times 10 compared to the 4 days of Kavanaugh’s hearing.

No, I think the risk is incredible. They need to question forward to the public jury, not a court room during or judge. This has disaster written all over it. No matter how they do it the Democrats and the media are going to rip them apart. As Ford is an activist, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear her respond with a “how dare you”. Grassley gave up control of his committee, the Republicans have scurried to their safe spaces.

This hearing will give Kavanaugh a chance to speak and rebut the charges. Unlike the Roy Moore hit, this accuser made the mistake of naming the name of the a supposed witness. He’ll testify it never happened.

Then the girls Kavanaugh dated back then will testify he never assaulted them and something like this would be completely unlike the guy they knew even then.

We also don’t know what they’ll dig up on Ford. She donated to Dems, but she scrubbed her social media. That material never really goes away. She may have posted things about SCOTUS or judges showing her motive.

Dems are banking on her as a performer, her credibility, and their ability to manipulate the narrative.

Direct and open. They’re shocked Republicans adopted this approach, but I think we hold the good cards here. Let’s show ‘em.

Agreed. You made a serious accusation.....tell us about it. Then sit back. Attacking her will only get her sympathy.

And have all of Clinton’s bimbo’s in the front row. Actually, the public should not be allowed to attend or they will get even more theatrics.

Actually I think there are 4 witnesses. That bag Feinstein has to testify about her actions. Put the bag under the light of truth.

Jill Abramson 'Shudders' to Think of Republicans 'Destroying' Christine Ford...

Whereas it's okay to destroy Brett Kavanaugh over an unsubstantiated accusation about an incident that occurred over thirty five years ago. Maybe thirty five, since the accuser cant remember what year it supposedly occurred.

Does she “shudder” at Democrats destroying Kavanaugh?

There is a lot of misandry going on here.

Well, Ms Abramson, so far Ford is the one bent on destroying Brett Kavanaugh. And I do not believe her tale of even being pounced on by any boy as relates to the period of time she asserts. I have heard of awful lies from young women that have hurt families and individuals and that damage cannot be undone when they are proved to be lying. There are also lies, as in this case, which cannot be disproved but only alleged that pay off in settlements just to stop the damage being done. Ford is a liar and useful foot soldier for all things democrat. The Republican party should stop accommodating those who are trying to destroy Pres Trump.

I have seen several reports this morning suggesting that she has not excepted the invitation to actually up here. I think there are still some games going on here, wouldn’t be surprised if she asked for extra delay, or simply throws up her hands and says that she can’t get fair forum. If she does go, I suspect either Republicans will be Pillard for asking her any questions, or they will fold.
