    .@RSwirling is the woman who went up to Lindsey Graham and told him she was raped. Read her fantastic piece on HuffPost from earlier this weekhttp://bit.ly/2DBR6pD

        Ahhh. So was she there asking him this to elicit this specific exchange to push her story on HuffPo? Or was she sincerely there and just decided to chime in?

        you're a man, Jason, and clearly you don't seem to understand this, but when a man says that a woman can't be believed because she doesn't remember the exact date of her rape, it's good for another woman in the exact same position to present herself face-to-face to challenge that

        Okay. First that assumes all rape is man on woman disregarding any other. Secondly, it seems as more of a political stunt than organic if she has a piece published before she confronted the senator and then chimed in on Twitter linking to her piece using that newfound notoriety.

        I have great respect for her for her bravery in going forward. Like the two women on the elevator with @JeffFlake who successfully influenced his decision to insist on an @FBI investigation. 👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

        We know what she is saying. Would be a wast of time to read it.

        Why did she tell Lindsey Graham this? What does he have to do with it? Sounds to me like it is just more emotional manipulation -- just trying to control people's emotions and perceptions so you can control them politically.

        If she went to the cops then at least she has something on record. A form of evidence. Dr. Ford doesn't have any evidence at all and no corroboration.

        Why is it appropriate for random people to come up to elected officials and tell them personal information of which he has no power legally to do anything.... Jesus Christ dems sinking lower and lower

        He is now the puppet of Trump. Therefore he speaks the language of Trump now. Which is revolting, disgusting and misogynistic. @LindseyGrahamSC should crawl back to SC and beg the pardon of every female in his district then the country of his current demeanour. #KavaNo
