I agree and have had this exact same experience....

Charles Blow describes the situation perfectly and it makes me livid to see what is being done to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford by the GOP and GOP Judiciary Committee....

They might as well be assaulting her all over and also all of us who are victims of abuse....
