Three 15-year-old girls in Idaho have penned an open letter supporting Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when the two were teenagers.
The letter, created Wednesday by teenagers who identify themselves as Layla, Charlotte and Jessica, is being driven by Change.org, a website that allows people to start and sign petitions that call for social change.
The petition, which has a goal of 1,000 signatures, had reached 723 signatures by Thursday afternoon.
In their letter, the three teens commend Ford for going public this week with her allegations. Ford has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a party when the two were in high school in the 1980s. Ford originally made the accusations anonymously, but identified herself Sunday in The Washington Post after her accusation was brought to light.
We are fifteen-year-old girls. Fifteen, the teenagers wrote. The same age you were when seventeen-year-old Brett Kavanaugh assaulted you, when he put his hand over your mouth so no one could hear you scream."
We imagine you at that party, so young and vivacious, with your whole life ahead of you, and we see ourselves, the letter continues. Our hearts break for the fifteen-year-old girl who walked in, and how different that girl was who walked out. We feel connected to the 15-year-old girl still living inside of you, and are outraged by the seventeen-year-old boy still living inside of him.
The teenagers wrote that Fords decision to speak out was powerful and said they couldnt trust Kavanaugh to make decisions that will impact girls.
We realize the effects of what happened are impacting him as it has impacted you, only he has not been living with the consequences. He denies it ever happened.
We know the possibility of Kavanaugh being in a powerful position has made it necessary to speak up, yet we havent heard if you will testify on Monday, the girls wrote. We know how scary that must feeland we know you are probably tired of people feeling things for you. We hope you will take this chance to make your voice heard, to speak on your own terms, in your own way.
Now is a courageous time and a brave time, too, to finally let your voice be heard. Telling your truth will get us one step closer to the world we want to live into; one where seventeen-year-old boys are taught that it is not ok to exploit girls and that fifteen-year-old girls know their bodies are their own, the letter continued.
You are strong and the fifteen-year-old girl in you is strong. We are with you and so is everyone who signs this letter, the teens added.
GOP lawmakers have pushed this week for Ford to appear before a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Monday to review her allegations. But Ford, through her lawyer, has said she will not testify until the FBI investigates her allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh.
The FBI has not opened a criminal investigation, saying the allegation does not involve a federal crime. The White House has not directed the FBI to reopen Kavanaughs background investigation, despite calls from Democrats.
Kavanaugh has denied Ford's allegations.
President Trump has also defended Kavanaugh following Ford's allegations, saying on Tuesday that there are few people that Ive ever seen, that Ive ever known have been so outstanding as Judge Kavanaugh.
The president also said he doesnt think the FBI should be involved in the case because they dont want to be involved.
Democratic lawmakers have slammed Republican colleagues in the wake of the allegations against Kavanaugh. Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) on Wednesday slammed the party over its handling of the case.
In an interview with ABC News, Hirono said Republicans' claims that they have done everything they can to reach out to Ford "bullshit."
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) also said this week that Ford should not be "bullied" into testifying Monday without an FBI investigation.
They tugged at their heartstrings and reinforce the narrative.
Of course the plight of Bill Clinton’s victims don’t because Clinton is on the right side of the abortion issue. You may not recall this but “feminist” even went so far as to say men like Bill should get a free grope without consequences because they were right on abortion. That’s discounting the various gals who said they’d let him do them.
I hope these three young nitwits have a bright future cleaning toilets somewhere. Obviously, they’re not mentally capable to handle much else.
Good one.
And to all the 17 year old boys out there...
No matter how honorable you are, no matter how hard you work, it doesn’t matter. All it takes is one person to make an unprovable allegation against you to ruin you.
Franken? Bwarney Fwank? Slick? RuPaul?
hmmm...sounds a lot like Carlos Danger trying to get back in good grace with the DNC honchos.
Someone wrote the letter and the girls want the 5 minute of fame.
Oy vey.
There is no 15 year old in history who didnt have something scary happen to her. Not a one. Yeah, that night or for a while, it was traumatic. Its part of life. Experiencing it CAN EVEN HELP YOU. Ideas to prevent whatever the scary thing was. Sympathy for friends or others who go through it. A desire to help people, that might turn into a career. Motivation to stick to safer choices in the future. Doesnt matter what the scary thing is; its life stage appropriate, and hopefully the girl is whole thereafter (not blinded or permanently impaired).
Oops, forgot Whataburger and In n Out. My bad.
Do they exist?
Notice they mention letters coming from a RED state! Can you say FAKE!
“We hope you will take this chance to make your voice heard, to speak on your own terms, in your own way.
15 year old girls did NOT write this- liberal socialists/feminists wrote this- This is straight out of the democrat’s playbook- trying to dictate how the proceedings should go forward by ‘encouraging Ford to take her time and dictate the rules’
15 year olds aren’t smart enough to suggest that kind of leftist playbook agenda-
Ah, to have been a fly on Obama’s face.
Well, isn’t that adorable.
Back to your iPhones, girls.
Underage socialist lemmings — a herd of independent minds.
And this makes for “news” in The Shill.
Ah, to have been a fly on Obama’s face.
It must have been an interesting conversation. Bill looks pretty freaked out.
I’ll make a side bet it was a teacher.
