Being an actual victim of sexual assault when I was a teenager, I am outraged by the bullshit dog and pony show I just watched-The Blasey-Ford testimony was, in my opinion a scripted bunch of unsubstantiated, uncorroborated propaganda. I commend the GOP for hiring the Sex Crimes Prosecutor (a woman) who was not in any way aggressive in her questioning of Blasey-Ford. She did a phenomenal job of allowing Blasey-Ford to explain her NUMEROUS inconsistent statements as well as pointing out the fact that she lied about her fear of flying, she lied about the GOP offering to come to California to interview her in a closed setting amongst other things. The left made it very clear what their agenda is and has been: Delay, Delay, Delay the confirmation vote. Every one of them asked for an FBI Investigation and rather than asking Blasey-Ford anything that may actually be relevant to the alleged incident, they opted to tell her that "they believe her" and followed that up by an obviously scripted "and here is why" statements in a typical "truth to power" Liberal way. Blasey-Ford stumbled and had to ask her "counsel" for the answer when she was asked any question that was obviously not on her script. Shammeful!

This circus is an assault on every sexual assault victim and a wake up call for Americans. Every American should be outraged at the political stunt Dems are pulling.

Anyone else notice how the Democrats always try to get out in front of the person testifying? "We have to remember it's hard to remember all the facts" or "She wouldn't tell us she couldn't remember if she was lying!"
That shit is 100% partisan and I don't believe a word everytime I see it done.

That and the fact that they would interrupt her testimony if they felt she was going "off topic"

I seriously hope this whole smear job and character assassination attempt has redpilled Kav into seeing what's going on behind the curtain. He could catch glimpses of the rot from his positions as a judge before this, but this event and the appointment to the SCOTUS should seriously open his fucking eyes to what's going on.

First off, sorry that you were assaulted. Second, thanks for calling this circus what it is! As a victim, I'm sure you have a perfect recollection of your assault! This woman's charade mocks actual victims! God Bless!
