Ford is explaining how she's sure it was Kavanugh using her scientific knowledge.

Since being laughed at is indelibly etched in Ford's mind, here's a reminder that Brett Kavanaugh refused to look for emails from Alex Konzinski where his mentor was laughing at women. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/09/23/brett-kavanaugh-just-provided-compelling-evidence-he-received-sexually-explicit-emails-from-alex-kozinski/ …

Really wished the Dem men weren't coming making big soapbox statements so far. Durbin: With what degree of certainty do you believe you were assaulted by Kavanaugh. Ford: 100%.

Ford: I was a teenager so I wanted to go in one door and my mother go in another. I chose the wrong door bc Mark Judge was arranging shopping carts. I said hello to him. His face was white, in saying hello back.

Ford: We had always been friendly with one another. I wouldn't characterize him as not friendly. He looked ill. Says it happened 6-8 weeks after the incident.

Ford has been, obviously and understandably, really emotional. But Chuck Grassley has been as emotional -- he's really defensive about his role here.

Ford's comment about the indelible memory of being laughed at is consistent with Brett's in-joke about the Renate alumni, a guy joking with his buddies at the expense of women. I'd sure like him to look for Kozinski emails to see whether he continued to do so until recently.

Notice how Kavanaugh is being nice now when in earlier denials he attacked victims?
