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.

Finally some use for those jungle savage would-be rapist sexist males who have to just keep their mouths shut.

Later, back to their gulag cages in Ocasioville,USA.

#18: "Is there a record of her traveling by air?"

No doubt that TSA has access to her whole history of air travel.

Personally, I'd tell her that if she doesn't want to fly, then tough titty. We are living in the 21st century and that is how we do things now.

Dr. Ford’s “democrat privilege is showing”. Imagine, a Republican sexual assault victim being treated like this......if D. Ford wants to do some good, she will speak out towards the sexual abuse committed by Bill Clinton and his accusers. Come on Christine, make yourself worthwhile.

Circus clowns, all of them.

Since she is claustrophobic, I assume she will be driving a Convertible with the Top down all the way.

Reminds me of several movies of people driving and someone after them, usually a trucker like Dennis Weaver in DUEL or Clint Eastwood in THE GAUNTLET. Drive at your own risk.

Maybe she will be kidnapped by Dems to stall, stall, stall.

Stupid Repubs- allowing this to become bus across America to testify. It will become this. Non stop news cameras, supporters lined up from California to DC. The optics of all of this- their Goddess coming to altar to sacrifice herself for the #metoo movement to testify.

Her car will break down in a drive-thru Therapy House in Las Vegas.

To delay as much as possible. Then she will be tired. More delay.

DC or bust. She’s worth more to the left as a martyr so they convinced her that fear of flying would be a great in-Trump’s-face delaying tactic. The left will set up a permanent big rig detour for their pawn and multiply by 100 Ford’s propaganda worth.

I think what the Rs are trying to do is “kill her with kindness” give her everything she desires on a silver platter. They’re showing how accommodating they can be.
Everyone and their pets know that she is lying.
This may be the last time the Rs catter.
Next time the dems try this rape route again, it will backfire. This bimbo’s name will be brought up. again & again & again.
She may have to move out of the country.
