Democrats continued the destruction of our political system on Thursday by ensuring that a woman whose unsubstantiated accusations of sexual assault from 35 years ago against Judge Brett Kavanaugh were aired publicly for the world to see.
But when all was said and done, not only were Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations still uncorroborated, some of the details she provided didn’t add up while others were not remotely believable.
As reported by The Western Journal, one of the earliest errors she made had to do with details surrounding how she got to and left the alleged party where she was allegedly accosted by Kavanaugh while a classmate, Mark Judge, watched a door and looked on.
The news outlet which first broke the story, The Washington Post, noted that Ford could not remember how the gathering came about on the evening in question. Specifically, the Post reported that Ford said she could not remember some of the “key details” about the event in question. One of the details was how she got to and from the gathering.
“She said she often spent time in the summer at the Columbia Country Club pool in Chevy Chase (Maryland), where in those pre-cellphone days, teenagers learned about gatherings via word of mouth,” the Post reported, The National Sentinel noted. “She also doesn’t recall who owned the house or how she got there.”
And yet, during questioning Thursday by Rachel Mitchell, chief of the Special Victims Division in Phoenix where she serves as a special prosecutor, Ford gave a different answer:
During the hearing, Mitchell began to ask a series of questions regarding the night of the alleged assault.
She started off by bringing out a large map with the area in which the assault allegedly happened and asked about the distances between her house and the house where the alleged assault happened. Ford described it as being about a 20-minute drive from her parent’s house.
Mitchell then turned the questioning to ask about how she got to and from the gathering at the house that night.
“Would it be fair to say that somebody drove you somewhere either to the party or home from the party?” Mitchell asked, to which Ford responded, “Correct.” Ford said she was only 15 at the time and therefore not old enough to drive.
There were more inconsistencies. As noted by Breitbart News, Ford – according to published reports – claimed that she has a ‘fear of flying.’ When asked about it by Mitchell, she said she initially hoped that the Senate Judiciary Committee could come to her at her home in California, but realized that was an “unreasonable” request.
That said, Ford was in the Delaware area in mid-August for a vacation – and didn’t seem to have the same problems with flying then as she purported to have when it came to flying in for testimony – or for her job as a consulting professor, or for vacation to tropical locations like Tahiti.
“It’s easier for me to travel going that direction when it’s a vacation,” she said.
Oh. Okay.

“I’m no psychology professor but it does seem weird to me that someone could have a selective fear of flying. Can’t do it to testify but for vacation, well it’s not a problem at all,” Donald Trump Jr. tweeted.

Also, in another odd admission, Ford claimed that she could not remember details about a polygraph test she took earlier this summer. Specifically, she said she didn’t know who paid for it or whether she was videoed and recorded during the session (Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans had requested the video and audio of the session, but Ford’s lawyer refused to hand them over).
Should we review the tape? Maybe she said, “fear of LYING” which it doesn’t appear she does very well.
I’m not sure if Democrats are aware of this, but refusing to provide evidence makes investigations more difficult.
A shrink (an MD plus years more schooling in the human mind) called all of her psycho-babble about the hippocampus bunk.
He said it was as if a smoker claimed, “I’ve had a conversation with my lungs and the two of us have decided I should try to quit smoking.”
A record of housing permits put out for her home shows it was expanded so they could rent out a part of it, a second “front” door was for the renter, not because she had fears. Also these permits were put out several YEARS before she went to couples’ therapy. So, her craziness about two front doors was made up. Her real agenda was to go on record as being upset by how Kavenaugh treated her, lest Romney got elected and wanted him on SCOTUS.
How was it that Mark and Brett could sneak up on her if they were really drunk in a noisy manner?
Why’d she go upstairs to use a bathroom when there’s always one on the ground floor?
@Nan G: Depends on the age of the house I have an older craftsman and only 1 bathroom its on the second floor, but there is no way to lock doors without a skeleton key no way to get out without that same key. Our own remodel which will not require a therapist will add a 1st floor powder room.
Newer locksets do not fit into antique doors replacing the old hardware ruins the look.
