Ford speaks out in rare statement since Kavanaugh hearings

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and her testimony against then-Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh in September dominated the news cycle, with her every word scrutinized by both sides of the political aisle and the media. Since the hearings, Ford has been mostly silent.

Ford released a statement on a GoFundMe page collecting donations for her last week. The page was created on Sept. 18 with an initial goal of $150,000. It has raised nearly $650,000 on her behalf.

"Words are not adequate to thank all of you who supported me since I came forward to tell the Senate that I had been sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh," Ford wrote. "Because of your support, I feel hopeful that our lives will return to normal."

After thanking her supporters, Ford wrote that the "generous contributions" that have allowed her and her family to protect themselves from "frightening threats" and increase security on their home.

According to Ford, the funds were partly used to pay for a security service since Sept. 19, which "has recently begun to taper off," as well as "housing and security costs incurred in Washington DC, and local housing for part of the time we have been displaced."

She received death threats and her family was forced out of their home, said her lawyer Debra Katz in September, even prior to publicly alleging Kavanaugh assaulted her when they were teenagers.

3. Important part of her statement:

Ford wrote she has closed the GoFundMe account for further contributions. All unused donations "after completion of security expenditures will be donated to organizations that support trauma survivors," she wrote. Ford said she is currently researching organizations to direct the leftover funds and will use the GoFundMe to provide an update later on.

6. It was watching her testimony and (especially) the reactions to it...

when it finally dawned on me (yeah, finally... I'm slow) that just about anyone using the phrase Social Justice Warrior is an angry idiot. The few who are not idiots are simply angry half-wits.

7. That is one brave lady! My hat is off to her.

Not too many of us would or could endure that sh*t show put on by congressional republicans in congress as they showed the world what low lifes they really are. As for Kavanaugh, pfffttt, he is just another incompetent, mysogynistic POS that was installed by the republicans. People of his low caliber simply do not belong on the Supreme Court and do nothing but debase its reputation. Hopefully at some point in time he will screw up enough that he will be forced to resign.
