        She is the witness, the victim. Yet it is all American womanhood which is on trial here.

        No she brought for an accusation and therefore the burden of proof which she could not do. Has nothing to do with womenhood and everything to do with a woman being victimized by politicians not a nominee

        Where's the proof? She named 4 or 5 people that were allegedly there and no one recalls being there. She doesn't remember go there or coming back but knows she drank a beer and was assaulted ...too many holes

        Because after the lies this woman told, fewer actual victims will be believed in the future, and the Democrats with their screeching insanity are to blame for that.

        I’m a woman. I am an American. I am not embarrassed. I applaud her for standing on that stage and giving testimony, knowing as all women do that she will be the one crucified. I applaud her strength. I applaud her courage. I am embarrassed by the men and lawmakers of my country.

        I hope one of your kids gets accused of a false crime where guilt is automatic, and you have no way to prove their innocent, and you just have to sit there and suck it up.. .. and then I want you to think of Judge Kavanaugh.

        Such hate for a person you don’t know who has done nothing wrong to you. I applauded a woman for her strength in standing up against a man she is accusing, and you turn on my children? Tell me again how men are not an embarrassment in today’s society

        You say "men are an embarrassment" Does that include your father and brothers? 🤔

        If my father and brothers would treat women the way the majority of the men in this country treat them, then yes they would be an embarrassment. And I would be embarrassed by my sons if they behave this way

        Generalizing “men” is exactly the problem. Women and men an both be the victim and both can be the perp. Women are no better then men. It’s all about the person, not the gender.

        Are all snakes venomous? No. But if you can’t tell the difference you are taught to stay away from all of them. Will all sharks attack you? No. And it rarely occurs. But people fear them nonetheless. Are all men bad? No. But every person attacking me here is male

        I’m a woman. And I don’t believe her. There’s zero evidence. Just because I’m a woman, doesn’t mean I automatically have to believe her. And I DID NOT vote for Killary.

        Did she provide records that she had previously talked about it? What did he lie about UNDER OATH. Because that’s called perjury and I’m sure that the committee would’ve jumped all over it. She didn’t provide proof, therefore, it’s all a political show.

        He perjured himself when he lied about not watching the Drs’ testimony. If you tell stupid little lies during a job interview, you don’t get hired. Kavanaugh should be held to the same standard.
