In reply to the discussion: I am intrigued by Mark Judge's vacillating conscience. [View all]Squinch
(52,141 posts)2. I am really fucking sick and tired of people painting Kavanaugh's accomplice in a sexual assault
as the savior of the victim. It's disgusting.
He was in the locked room. He egged Kavanaugh on. He allowed Kavanaugh to paw at Ford and put his hand over her mouth to muffle her screams. He did not go to the authorities after she escaped. He later participated in train rapes with Kavanaugh.
This need to make him a hero is sick. It stems from a need to not acknowledge that the boys and men we walk past every day are capable of evil acts. If you learn nothing else from these weeks, please just fucking learn that many of them are not only capable but guilty of those acts.
The need to minimize this man's responsibility victimizes Ford all over again.
Just stop it.

Judge will lie, lie and lie. He's a Falwell christian and a man with a sordid pass.

I don't think he has a vacillating conscience, only a concern to save his own ass
