Is Christine Ford backing down?

16. Honestly, I don't blame her if she does not want to show up

At the end of the day - when the dust is all settled. She will have to go back to her life. She has had to bear this trauma her whole life. Now we want her to put it on display for the world to see and be attacked in a public forum. Yes she is the one that chose to come forward initially - But these things are so complicated. She may not be ready for the onslaught of character assassination or may not be prepared to be re traumatized.

I hope she shows up. If she chooses not to. As a fellow victim of sexual trauma myself, and also as one that deals with victims of sexual trauma, I get it.

If she chooses not to testify in a public forum, I hope no one on the left, gets upset about her decision. I mean you already have old white men like Orin Hatch declaring that they don't believe her. Stating she is " mixed up". It can't possibly be Kavanugh that's mixed up because he was a teenager that drank too much and can't remember what he did back then?

Either way, I think the Republicans will be up shit's creek. Women will be very angry- Thank you Dr. Ford for coming forward, whether you choose to show up on Monday or not. I think it will just energize more independent women to vote these fools out of office.
