#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."

(TWEET-AT-LINK)

"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.

I can honestly say even if they begged me I would not crack a damn one of those girls

Maybe a young Julianne Moore

The rest are far less attractive than my rib...to me

I can’t stand-actresses today

Same types who came out telling Bill Clinton “we believe you” when the Monica story broke.

Stuff like this is going to get her to testify, and it would be better if she didn’t. You never know what happens if she gets on national TV. She could be a good liar, she could look like an idiot. They should have said show up by Thursday or bye. This weekend the weight of the leftist world is going to be pushing her to go testify.

And who also offered/promised to give him Lewinskis, because he was all for abortions.

I’ll bet these “gals” supported the accuser of the Duke students too.

Well, we all know how that ended up.

Calling Tawana Brawley and her fundraising handler, the Rev. Al Sharlaton. You are wanted for another fake charge campaign against a nice white guy. Get out your “He dun it” signs from your Smear Gear Palace, out back of your chicken coop.

I hope she does testify. She will come off as a total loon and lift a bit of the stain she has put on Kavanaugh. He needs the opportunity to clear his good name.

Gabrielle Union is cute.

And Marissa Tomei isn't bad for a woman of her vintage.

America should never look this stupid. This political stunt has turned into a national embarrassment.

She might come off like a loon, but who knows? We’ve never seen her speak. She get’s up there and starts crying and you don’t know how America reacts.

Serves to point out which celebs are just plain STOOPID, jumping to conclusions based on the flimsiest of evidence.

It does. You can link to those without posting the picture and let people decide for themselves if they’re in the mood.

I’ve seen Marisa nakeed

Nice butt I’ll give her that

Union?

I prefer black women very light skinned cafe as lait and less dramatic featured

Thandie Newton..la nut too but cute

Or Zoe Kravitz

Or the mulatto actress did the EOS commercial

I prefer my own kind

Southern white Christian women or Colombian ...and so forth

But I’ve shaken many a tree ...

All hues and races ..

I don’t much care who bangs who

If you get the baby....raise it..both of you

That’s my creed and I’ve lived by it

#metoo...

Wait, you can’t even identify which year you were 15...

#metoo!

You can’t even identify WHERE the party was, much less the when.

#metoo!!

So you’re saying that should a 15 year old get drunk, any guy who attempts to touch at a party where just a handful of kids are at should be convicted of rape?

#METOO!!!

What about a president who sticks cigars up the whoo-hoo of an underling?

#MOVEON!!!!

Yeah, figured that’d be your response.
