        Democrat head of this FAKE CON JOB False accusation of Kavanaugh was accused of raping her daughter’s friend who committed suicide. He got off and now is targeting Kavanaugh on ZERO evidence and a hiding accuser! Wow Disgusting! Schumer should be charged for filing false reportspic.twitter.com/vrFF8kBw6y

        Nice nonbiased headline. By saying #accuser you're implying she is not being truthful before there has been ANY investigation. Other options at the media's disposal: Christine Blasey Ford Dr. Ford Victim OR "Senate sets deadline for testimony over rape allegations" WORDS MATTER

        this is rape culture at its finest. let off the male witnesses (can't have *their* lives be uprooted), but demand the female victim submit to a fake deadline with her written testimony submitted in advance so they can prep kavanaugh to lie

        What's the rush @GOP? Dr. Ford's claims should be investigated.

        If the judge doesn't have to obey the laws, then why should we? What precedent does that tell the rest of the country? "Rape is okay if you're rich enough to get away with it, here you can even become the supreme court judge!" You should be ashamed to call yourself "American."

        Good. The FBI already completed SIX background checks on this guy. If she doesn't want to come in and tell her story now, in private, that's a red flag. People call her a hero, yet she has done everything possible to avoid owning her story. Even Feinstein isn't so sure now.

        She wants the FBI to investigate her allegation, just as they did with Anita Hill. Then she will testify. He said, she said, usually means he gets away with it. Although Kavanaugh has been investigated by FBI,they didn’t know about this allegation.

        How can they investigate if she doesn't even remember the YEAR it happened. She doesn't remember where it was, why she was there, who was there, how she got home. Real victims are haunted by these details. My issue is if she is lying, she just set back the efforts of real victims

        I am really interested if anyone has suggestions for how this title could (and if it should) be edited? Is referring to Dr. Ford as an “accuser” accurately portray the situation? She has identified Kavanaugh as the perpetrator of assault. She is also a victim and survivor.

        She's only a victim and survivor if what she says is true. We weren't there so we don't know.

        Betcha they don't want the FBI to investigate because they already know it's a) true, b) not the only rape and c) the others were probably much worse Or d) he raped a girl then forced her to get an abortion.
