#DearProfessorFord: Actresses support Brett Kavanaugh's accuser ahead of hearings
Mashable ^ | September 20, 2018 | Shannon Connellan

Hollywood actresses and women from around the U.S., some being key members of the #MeToo and Time's Up movements, have shown their support for Christine Blasey Ford.

Blasey, a professor at California's Palo Alto University, who recently accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, has seen significant public support after she made the difficult decision to publicly share her story.

Now, the likes of Julianne Moore, America Ferrera, Gabrielle Union, Amber Tamblyn, Eva Longoria, Jamia Wilson, and Marisa Tomei, along with many other women from different situations, all read the same supportive letter to Ford, in a video posted to Twitter and Facebook on Wednesday with the hashtag #DearProfessorFord.

It's signed collectively from "your sisters."

"We applaud your courage in coming forward for the public good, and we will be with you as you face the inevitable backlash," the letter reads.

"You are strong. And you are not alone. You are a survivor. Millions of us have your back. You and your testimony are credible."

It finishes with three little words many of the women in this video would have craved to hear when some of them, like Union, bravely came forward with their own stories of sexual abuse.

"We believe you."

Though a new Senate hearing on the accusation was scheduled for Monday, Blasey has requested an FBI investigation be done before she testifies, but left open the possibility that she might appear before the committee.

the same types who attacked the woman who went public after Aziz Ansari took “it” out and repeatedly grabbed a girl’s hand and put it to his crotch (Bill Clinton only did it once) and the Left said that was just clumsy dating technique and the girl wasn’t “forced” into it.

the Crucible 2

Democrats never hated witchhunts, they didn’t like the exposure of card carrying Communists in hollywood, academia, and the State Department colluding with the KGB )(knowingly or unknowingly).

Until Alyssa Milano shows up, this can’t be taken seriously.

I stated this thought on another thread: What has started to happen is FemNazis are basing their objections on how they feel about situations. The situation itself is not always evil or even truthful. Republicans not standing up to them is why it’s reached this point. ‘pubs, wake up. This manical group isn’t going to vote for ‘pubs whatever they do. All caving is doing is giving sane women a reason not to vote at all.

Well by all means. If the women who gave it up for a tv/movie role call for
a hearing let’s have it! Hope the sarcasm tag isn’t needed.
