Edit: Why can't I find this anywhere but Fox? I defeintely don't support this attitude, but I want to see more proof that this is a pervasive sentiment before condemning anyone. If this is just another right wing disinformation tactic, it's really going to anger me. I'm so sick of this partisan bs.

Their logo sure has been copied ... probably a fake meme. These are the organizations that support the Women's March and the few I recognize ... well never say never ... but put me down as a disbeliever:

Planned Parenthood Action Fund • Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights • Women's March • NARAL Pro-Choice America • United State of Women • Sierra Club • Feminist Majority • National Women’s Law Center • Center for Popular Democracy Action • Advocates for Youth • NAACP • NDWA • MoveOn • Alliance for Justice Action Campaign • MomsRising • Credo Action • #VOTEPROCHOICE • Indivisible • UltraViolet Action.

Earlier, some of the stuff being repeated about Ford was clearly fake, from 4chan and the like.

Interesting times we live in, for sure.
Both of you, it is from the official Women’s March twitter feed. You could have just clicked on the embeded tweet and gone there. Conversely you can go to their twitter account @womensmarch to see it. Several posts down but it is there.

And she’s doing that so the one senator can go to his daughter’s wedding uninterrupted. That’s pretty decent of her.

This article was very interesting. I'll just leave this here.

So she wanted yet another do-over? That’s what I figured. Her story has been ever evolving since we learned of it.

Ford still will not release her therapist notes, she stated she will only release if interviewed by the FBI.

This is someone who is just looking for delay tactics, if she truly was a victim, she would have shoved everything she had to them, not withhold and attach conditions, like she did with her testimony.

This Ford woman was a tactic - she had nothing.

And neither did anyone else who she swore was there. Including her BFF.

Okay ... I don't do twitter ... but if you go to: https://twitter.com/hashtag/CancelKavanaugh?src=hash
there's nothing if I scroll for about 2 minutes ... with nothing particularly crazy on their website ... plus, I don't know who puts stuff on various twitter feeds ...

sure there's the embedded tweet that's a standalone ... wait, I got into the womensmarch hashtag ... it's there.

That's crazy. Unacceptable. Please don't sign me up.

Kavanaugh showed he had no class with his belligerence. This could very well cost her in the next election.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was also accused of molesting women when he ran for governor. Accusation of sexual abuse seems to be the weapon choice in high profile positions.
36 yrs ago, accused of groping a 15 yr old girl when he was 17 at a party. All 4 of her witnesses say it never happened, were not at a party with her, she doesnt know month it happened, or where it happened, or how she got home. It was a bs political ploy to delay confirmation until after midterms.
Would have happened no matter who was nominated.
