Support for Christine Blasey Ford

It took a lot of courage to come forward and to share her story to the whole world. She recognized that she would probably just be ignored by the Republicans in the US Senate and unfortunately she was right. But her strength should not be forgotten.

She took a lot of hate and anger from the Republicans but helped bring to light other individuals stories of the judge that may not have been told without her. As a fellow male, I am ashamed of what those of my gender have done and said. As a fellow sex assault victim I am so proud of her. Let's not forget what she went through to get us to this point. Let's not allow our pain in this moment overshadow what she did. I will never forgive these people who voted for kavanaugh but I will never forget her and the others who spoke out.

PS- Sorry for misspealing her name in a previous thread I started. No disrespect was intended.

the very last place she wanted to be, is staggering. We owe Dr. Blasey-Ford a great debt. She was a reluctant hero but in the end a hero in every sense.

I can't understand how anyone could listen to her testimony and not be convinced she told the truth.
