The one who was "kavanaughed" was Ford and she was "GOPd" too. The FBI was not allowed to make a real investigation and Lindsey Graham did some wonderfully dramatic acting to move things along. Now we have a Supreme Court justice who demonstrated for us right on TV why he's not fit for the job, regardless of whether or not he was Ford's attacker.

Here is the other false accusation about the officer who went to jail.

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle...minal-charges/

"By then, prosecutors already had dismissed domestic-violence assault and witness-tampering charges against Kivlin, and opted not to pursue rape charges against the other Bellevue officer whom Schneider had accused. Prosecutors say Schneider had created fake text and email messages purportedly from Kivlin to support her accusations against him.

Because of Schneider’s false claims, Kivlin spent three different stints in jail totaling 49 days, Cohen said. He also split from his wife, resigned from his job and was forced to sell his house, the attorney said. “The toll has just been devastating,” Cohen said.

Although the other Bellevue officer whom Schneider accused was never charged, he also resigned from the police department amid an investigation."

They are both professionals. By refusing to be interviewed by her, he makes the ASSumption that she is not a professional. Would he do the same with a male reporter?

Then he needs to provide the chaperone, not her. He is the one with the problem, not her.

And I believe that reporters should unite in solidarity to refuse to cover him or his campaign so that there would be no basis for any unjust accusations.
Yes to all of this.

I worked for and was a student of professionals who tried to or did sexually assaulted me! do you think assaults and accusations are only perpetuated by males? in this me too environment, I think this male political candidate is wise.

He didn't tell the reporter, he replied to their request.

He explained that his campaign manager was busy on the day that they requested so he couldn't but he'd be willing to schedule it at a later time and provide someone.

The reporter's news agency requested the ride along and his campaign replied to the agency. The reporter didn't get involved until after he requested that she bring someone with her. He's done interviews with her before and they were fine.

A reporters job is to report. Does someone need instructions on this here?

a high school teacher's job is to teach students.

One of my high school teachers violently sexually assaulted me in his office and another high school teacher wrote me many love letters and left them in my locker for a year. I was 15 years old.
