Did you notice Ford used Brett’s name when she was describing what she said happened. She made it personal... This is not the normal reaction ... instead they would use ‘he’ or ‘him’, due to disrespect and anger at the attacker. She was probably told to use his name, to lay it all on Kavanaugh... but it backfired on her.
If she had been attacked, she would have wanted to distance herself from even his name. It was offensive to hear her attach his name to what she said happened.
