The US supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh is not a “consummately honest person” and “must know” what really happened on the night more than 40 years ago when he allegedly sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford, his accuser writes in an eagerly awaited memoir.
A research psychologist from northern California, Ford was thrust into the spotlight in September 2018 as Kavanaugh, a Bush aide turned federal judge, became Donald Trump’s second conservative court nominee. Her allegations almost derailed Kavanaugh’s appointment and created headlines around the world.
Ford’s memoir, One Way Back, will be published next week. The Guardian obtained a copy.
“The fact is, he was there in the room with me that night in 1982,” Ford writes. “And I believe he knows what happened. Even if it’s hazy from the alcohol, I believe he must know.
“Once he categorically denied my allegations as well as any bad behavior from his past during a Fox News interview, I felt more certainty than ever that after my experience with him, he had not gone on to become the consummately honest person befitting a supreme court justice.”
By having a sex criminal as president.
He was only responsible for one of them.
Clarence Thomas was on Bush Sr.
True and we had all the information we needed about CT then. Accountability has meant nothing for a long time. 😔
Not only did we know… his accuser, Anita Hill, was dragged through the mud by the GOP in a massive display of victim-blaming that had an unreasonable amount of popular support.
Dragged through the mud by a committee led by our current Democratic president… who still hasnt actually apologized beyond “I wish I could have done something”. Motherfucker you presided over the committee you could have done many things but were power hungry and sexist so didnt!
Yep. There’s a ton of things I don’t like about Biden. But I’ll still hold my nose and vote for him because at least he’s not a treasonous rapist who wants to be a dictator.
Just to be clear, agree 100%, first time in many elections I voted dem instead of green and will do it again this time around.
