New Kavanaugh Accuser Came Forward Because ‘Senate Democrats Came Looking’
National Review ^ | September 24, 2018 8:39 AM | JACK CROWE

Ronan Farrow said Monday that Deborah Ramirez came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Brett Kavanaugh after Senate Democrats learned independently of the incident in order to “tell her own story before others did for her.”

“She came forward because Senate Democrats came looking for this claim. She did not flag this. This came to the attention of people on the hill independently, and it has co cornered her into an awkward position,” Farrow, who detailed Ramirez’s allegation in a Sunday New Yorker article, told ABC’s George Stephanopolos on Good Morning America.“She said, point-blank, I don’t want to ruin anyone’s life, but she feels this is a serious claim. She considers her own memories credible and she felt it was important to tell her own story before others did for her.”

In the article Farrow and co-author Jane Mayer recount Ramirez’s claim that Kavanaugh, then a freshman at Yale, drunkenly thrust his penis in her face during a dorm party. While there are no eyewitness accounts included in the reporting, Farrow and Mayer did speak with one fellow classmate who claims to have heard about the incident around the time it occurred.

The New York Times was unable to corroborate Ramirez’s accounts after interviewing “several dozen” people in an attempt to do so.

Pressed by Stephanopolos about Ramirez’s delay in coming forward, Farrow described her hesitance as “extremely typical.”

She came forward because it was impossible for her to be fired later for a fabrication.
The woman from Stanford probably has her future on the line as no one is going to hire her.

Yes, democrats came looking. They have billions of dollars, supplied by soros, and spread the word that they were willing to pay for whores to lie about Trump and Kavanaugh. Sure enough, there were harlots ready and willing (that’s what they do) to lie about this.

So the Dems are out beating bushes to see if there are any willing mental patients they can roust and parade about.

Such dignity, coming from our Senate.

The Democrats of The Child Party are willing to defecate all over the reputation of the second highest Federal court in the country in order to retain political power.

They are sociopaths who should be kept away from the levers of power at all costs.

That’s how Hill came forward. And she didn’t want to.

“.....Senate Democrats came looking for this claim.” Names please. That should be the first question the FBI asks this accuser. I think this is turning out to be a conspiracy to harm a sitting federal judge.

Came forward?

She had no “memories” until she went into a trance at her attornies office where the “memories” were “recovered”, having never been unearthed in the prior 35 years.

A cosmic event no doubt. Perhaps there was fog and chanting in the room.

I guess I shouldn’t be but I’m slightly surprised that Ronan chose to totally delegitimization #MeToo movement with this obviously cheap political stunt

And supposedly Christine Ford didn’t want to come forward.

But the liberal activists who orchestrate all this, outed Christine Ford.

I think this is crazy, in that, the party which takes sexual assault and women’s issues so seriously, thinks nothing of betraying the requested anonymity of people and sits on these allegedly serious allegations, until it’s politically advantageous to reveal them.

And if someone wanted to be anonymous, doesn’t matter to the liberals. Christine Ford is a useful idiot and will be used as a pawn in the struggle, whether she really wanted that or not.

To paraphrase James Carville: Drag a million dollar bill through a liberal sorority, you never know what you’ll find. This is pay for play. Two liberal women who hate conservatives, hate Trump, worship at the altar of abortion and all things left, were willing to engage in a completely fabricated politician assassination of an honourable man. You can be sure that they are being richly compensated.

These are lies. Stop lending any credulity to this dnc fake scandal approach to political empowerment. If the dnc had ANY credibility, the bent willy allegations would have been scrutinized back when the degenerate Clinton and hebitch were in the White House.

As this plays out I think we need to consider how Christine Blasey Ford will find her way into the American vernacular. In the same way Bork became Borked (a verb), Lewinski a noun (You got a Lewinski).

I hope Ford is happy with how she will be immortalized. So what will it be?

Sadly, few here are aware of that.
