Dr. Christine Blasey Ford receives the Roger Baldwin Courage award from ACLU

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — In a rare public appearance to pick up an award, the woman who accused U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault says she had a responsibility to come forward, NBC News reports.

Christine Blasey Ford, a psychology professor at Palo Alto University in California, spoke Sunday after she accepted the Rodger Baldwin Courage Award from the ACLU of Southern California in Beverly Hills.

She said: “When I came forward last September, I did not feel courageous. I was simply doing my duty as a citizen. I understood that not everyone would welcome my information, and I was prepared for a variety of outcomes, including being dismissed.”

Blasey Ford testified in September 2018 during Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings that Kavanaugh assaulted her during a gathering of teenagers in suburban Maryland in 1982.

Kavanaugh has vehemently denied the allegation.

I believed her during testimony, and I believe her now.

A richly deserved award, even as Krybaby Kavanaugh sits on the SCOTUS.

You thought lying Clarance, with his wife taking bribes and he hiding it, was pretty awful. Just wait for the filthy rich pal Brett to start playing around on the court.

It will be soooo easy. When we have Dem Pres & Senate, there's an impeachment inquiry in the house and a real investigation is done digging up tons of evidence Kav was a serial sexual assaulter and then he gets impeached & removed for rape.
