Kavanaugh Accuser Christine Blasey Ford Continues Receiving Threats.

Christine Blasey Ford is still being harassed after leveling sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, her lawyers say.

"Justice Kavanaugh ascended to the Supreme Court, but the threats to Dr. Ford continue," said Ford's lawyers, Debra Katz, Lisa Banks and Michael Bromwich, in a statement to NPR.

Kavanaugh stridently denied the allegations about the assault and went on to win confirmation in the Senate. Ford is still working to get her life back on track, her lawyers say.

She has had to move four times, she wrote last month. She has had to pay for a private security detail. She hasn't been able to return to her job as a professor at Palo Alto University. A spokeswoman for the school did not respond to a question about whether there was a timeline for Ford to return.

for what she believed in and her life is in ruins, I would have done the same thing.

Hey stupid Susan Collins you have ruined this woman's life she can't even go back to her profession. Horrible.

Brown shirts are allowed to attack government critics with no repercussions.

This woman should be under government protection until the assholes calm down.

Anybody caught threatening her should be prosecuted.

Most likely a Random Joe called out Tucker for being the racist scumbag he is, and he turned it into an "angry leftist mob" threatening his children. I can smell the BS from here.

Anyway, if Tucker feels his kids are being threatened, he should send them to a child detention center - I hear its just like summer camp!

Literally just had a friend wipe me off the face of their earth for calling them out for posting about Tucker but nothing about any other threats that Dems are receiving.

Apparently telling a republican that no member of Antifa holds public office but a white supremest in Steve King 100% does is the golden ticket to get a Trumper to block you... In case anyone needs it

Forget the MAGAbomber, 15 people were killed by right-wing extremists over the course of 2 weeks. Antifa isn't anywhere close to being the left-wing equivalent of the KKK/Proud Boys/Incels.
