Jill Abramson 'Shudders' to Think of Republicans 'Destroying' Christine Ford

Jill Abramson: suffering from Anita Hill flashbacks?

The author of the anti-Clarence Thomas book Strange Justice appeared on CNN this morning. Introducing her, Alisyn Camerota said, "you say that you shudder to think what will happen" when Christine Ford is questioned at Monday's scheduled Senate hearing.

Replied Abramson:

"I think that the Republicans, despite all the changes that have happened in the generations since those [Clarence Thomas] hearings, are still going to go in with a strategy to save this nomination at all costs. And if that means destroying, destroying Dr. Ford, I hate to even think about it, but I think it's going to be the same kind of political circus that we saw back in 1991. That's what worries me."

I refuse to call her Dr. She is not an MD. She is a psychologist.

Yep. Even if her claims are absolutely true, what makes a person do what she is doing? It’s political.

As Anita Hill was destroyed? Destroyed by a succession of cushy academic positions.

The problem is the Republican Party. Look at the members of the committee itself, they all scurried to their safe spaces and pleaded with Grassley to delay the vote and give her a hearing. For the most part, none defended Kavanagh.

That’s a bit silly-—she is STILL a doctor.

The attitude should be that she is being questioned to determine if her account can be corroborated. It is not necessary to destroy her. If her story cannot be corroborated, that ends it.

They should have scheduled her hearing for after Flynn is sentenced and after they vote to provide full funding for the border wall. It shouldn’t have any bearing on his fitness to be a Supreme Court justice.

“Dems are banking on her as a performer, her credibility, and their ability to manipulate the narrative.”

Psychopaths can be very convincing...they actually believe their delusions.

...despite all the changes that have happened in the generations since those [Clarence Thomas] hearings...

The Thomas hearings were in 1992. Twenty-six years ago.
Isn't a generation regarded as thirty years?
Ain't no plural about it Jill.

To Liberals, their ideology is their religion. They will consider nothing that opposes it and all who defend it are always right (and even if they are lying, they are still doing the "right" thing).

The destruction of the lying Ford slut is exactly what needs to happen.

Is she saying liberals should have a monopoly on the politics of personal destruction?

i think she can be shredded - in the nicest possible way.

They all need to review Arlen Specter's questioning of Anita Hill.

They need to question forward to the public jury, not a court room during or judge.

What does this mean?!
