18. "Serious flaws in her story"

Oct 2018

Kavanaugh supporters identified flaws in Dr. Ford's story. They were not entirely wrong if your standard is immediate report, and physical evidence beyond all doubt. They also claimed that he voice was irrelevant, since he was never proven guilty. It's a familiar standard when it comes to suspicious of Juanita Broadrick. In both cases the powerful man got the benefit of the doubt and the woman's story was considered suspicious. It's a standard M.O. and me too has been identifying the persostance and the prevalence. Still many are refusing to acknowledge the possibility that maybe we fell for it at another time because we saw the perpetrator as one of our heroes.
