Christine Blasey Ford Will Drive Across Country Because She Doesn’t Like Airplanes
Hot Air ^ | 21 Sep 2018 | John Sexton

Posted on 09/21/2018 4:35:26 PM PDT by mandaladon

Earlier today Allahpundit looked at the negotiations taking place between Christina Blasey Ford and the Judiciary Committee. The GOP agreed to push the date to Wednesday but is requiring that Ford testify first. A Politico story published today points to one additional factor which is apparently motivating Ford to push the date of the hearing back as far as possible: She plans to drive cross country to the hearing in Washington, DC.

The GOP has been told that Ford does not want to fly from her California home to Washington, according to the Republican senator, which means she may need to drive across the country to make the hearing. Ford has reportedly told friends she is uncomfortable in confined spaces, indicating a physical difficulty in making the trip by plane.

At first blush, this really sounds like a stunt. There are already people flying banners of support behind airplanes in northern California. Now Blasey is going to drive cross-country in what sounds an awful lot like a politician’s bus tour. No doubt we’ll be seeing excited tweets from people who encounter her at every gas stop along the way and probably a map showing her current location on

But last night, CNN published a story saying Ford’s claustrophobia has been known to her friends for years though they only recently learned she blamed it on her alleged assault at age fifteen:

So DeVarney and another friend have known about her discomfort in confined spaces but Ford only connected that to the alleged assault when she told her friend about it for the first time last month.

That’s a 3 day drive....


Don’t count on that timing. Remember Gilligan’s Island.

Also, someone could pay her for re-creating Jack Kerouac’s trips in his road novels like the Dharma Bums, hitting all the jazz joints in Denver,Detroit, New Orleans, Dallas and everywhere else. Local TV with cheering feminists in the background. Sampling BBQ and local craft beers at each stop. And building up an entourage that will make McCain’s funeral procession look like a couple of caddies returning golf carts at sunset.

Great catch if she actually attended and didn’t do a video conference.

Going to stop on the way to see the world’s largest ball of twine.

Really though, Soros could send her a private plane that certainly would not be chlostrophobic

I heard she only has an electric car. I thought only Clinton insiders had to fear flying.

Take Amtrak. She can sleep on the way.

I would not be surprised if she had a vehicle ‘accident’ on the way, if she drove. Of course the Dhimmis would accuse PDJT of arranging the ‘accident’...

If I were her, I’d be VERY careful driving, ESPECIALLY a vehicle built within the last 10 years! Too easy to lose control due to hacking! She might also get mugged, like Seth Rich.

She might be wise to take Greyhound, surrounded by reporters. That MIGHT afford her some protection from becoming a ‘victim’ to the cause of tainting Trump, courtesy of the Dhimmis, not that they ever would do such a thing! After all, Vince Foster obviously shot himself twice in the head with two different guns, and was able to make one of them disappear, before he succumbed to his self-inflicted wounds. He was certainly not murdered!

This is enough! Even making me angry. The Word is to turn the other cheek
but it surely doesn’t mean to bow down to liars and thieves who would steal away our country. Someone needs a backbone.

Take Amtrak.

I wondered why she didn't take the train too. As has been suggested, she may be counting on a caravan and news coverage.

I’m so glad I wasn’t consuming a beverage while reading your comment. Too funny.

Why can’t she take Amtrak?

Lots of us, without a groping story, don’t like planes and can be claustrophobic and prefer to drive long distances.
