I just think -- what if this was my wife....my mom...my sister....just seeking to speak her truth. Sure, Ford didn't report the alleged sexual assault back in the early 80s -- like over 63% of American women don't. But once she saw BK being nominated for the highest court in the land, she felt motivated to speak up to ensure a man with such low morals (even if he was just a teen at the time) has no business on the bench.
And to see her up there, prepared to be asked probing questions by biased people who seek to tarnish her good name and reputation, I would be so disgusted. Such bravery.
Imagine, as a teenager, you experience something like this.
It might be TOTALY "innocent" that two drunk boys tried a bit to hard..
BUT, 35 years later, you know that IDIOT is about to be a Supreme Court Justice.
Do you keep quiet after Kavanaugh has been caught lying several times, and tried to look like choir boy, and a non drinking virgin during those years?
I don't have to imagine it. I was sexually assaulted as a teenager.
I know that I am not the same person I was when I was fifteen. I know that my husband isn't the same person he was when he was seventeen. People this age do all sorts of ridiculous things. Their frontal lobes are not even fully developed. Throw in some underage drinking and some bathing suits and sneaking around and no parental oversight and bingo - you might get groped.
This is why I drilled it into my kids' heads not to get themselves into these types of situations. GET THEMSELVES into it - teenagers are historically bullheaded and, well, stupid.
She's loving every moment of this and would love to be known as the one who stopped the Kavanaugh confirmation. I wonder who the Dems will get to slander Amy Barrett?
Someone claiming to have inside knowledge up thread said that there is word that she was a real tramp in her younger years and that there may even be nudes of her floating around out there. It would be an ironic approach to take considering the left is trying to portray themselves as champions of women, but hey whatever you gotta do to get the win huh?
After reading this thread, now i understand why a lot of victims don't come forward.
*plays sad violin*
She has no evidence, no details of the event, and this is an 11th hour accusation. Context is vital, and it is lacking big time, hence why people are highly skeptical of her claims.
If she had exact details, credible witnesses, and a police report, this would be a slam dunk case in her favor.

Yeah she has the wrong glasses, wrong voice, wrong face and being held down and smothered in a locked room with two boys as a young teen is no big deal.
