        Why won’t Kavanaugh’s friend who was in the room with Kavanaugh & Dr. Ford testify?

        I'm personally prolife, because you cannot claim any rights if you're denied a right to life. I am prochoice on doctors, hospitals and ins co's being able to decide if they participate, and government shouldn't pay for it. Never claimed he was my guy lol https://twitter.com/elinalynne/status/1042648431813046272?s=19 …

        So because i refuse to pay for and endorse people and businesses being forced to participate, i must think women are "semen vessels"... Great logic, and I'm sure my the women in my life will be shocked to find out I'm a misogynist 😂https://twitter.com/elinalynne/status/1042788921761923078?s=19 …

        I pay for all kinds of things I don't endorse through my taxes—wars in which I don't want to participate, tax breaks for rich people, private prisons filled with people with convicted excessively. That's how this whole tax thing works, so time to be a grown up about it.

        Actually would help the resistance if she weren't around to answer questions with conflicting answers and she'd be a martyr, too!

        So? Not news. Hillary Clinton viciously attacked her husband’s accusers. Was she wrong to do that? They feared for their lives too.

        That's unfortunate, and I'm sure he's received them too. This is what happens when political rhetoric is so outlandish it paints anyone who disagrees with you as an evil destructive force that must be stopped at all costs.

        Death threats to those on the right aren't exactly rare. https://thefederalist.com/2018/07/10/14-times-republican-officials-viciously-harassed-threatened-death/ … Kavanaugh would report death threats to the FBI, not the media. The assumption he's gotten some isn't much of a stretch, but it is an assumption

        Kavanaugh isn't listed in your article. And I would not say yelling "shame!" at someone is equivalent to threatening to kill them. Not even close.

        Political threats are flying all over the place and rhetoric is encouraging it was my point, and I acknowledged Kavanaugh receiving at least some was an assumption. Threatening isn't equivalent to attempted murder either and the last prominent politician to be shot was Scalise

        Actually you're attempted point was that Kavanaugh is suffering equivalently to Christine Blasey Ford. He isn't. And he never has. It's so republican to call for polite rhetoric as you undermine my right to control my own body by installing a rapist on the courts.

        Thanks for telling me my point. It was that bad actors are present on either side, not an equivalence of their suffering (Ford's is all that matters if she's honest). I want no rhetoric, I don't care about politeness, just substance. The Left has no issue with taking rights btw
