Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her, cannot move back to her home due to the volume of death threats she is still receiving, her lawyers told NBC on Sunday.
One of Ford's attorneys, Debra Katz, told NBC's Kasie Hunt that it's going to be "quite some time" before Ford and her family can return home.
"Her family has been through a lot," Katz said. "They are not living at home. It’s going to be quite some time before they’re able to live at home. The threats have been unending. It’s deplorable."
"It’s been very frightening," Katz added.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys tell @kasie that Ford is still not living at home and can't for "quite some time."
She is still receiving "unending" death threats.
— Kasie DC (@KasieDC) October 7, 2018 Ford two weeks ago publicly testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegation that Kavanaugh pinned her down and tried to take off her clothes, at one point allegedly pressing his hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming, during a high school party in 1982.
Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Saturday after a bruising battle that also involved sexual misconduct allegations from two other women.
Kavanaugh vehemently denied all of the allegations.
Ford's lawyers during the NBC interview denounced the one-week FBI investigation into the women's accusations, saying it was not thorough. The FBI reportedly did not interview Ford or Kavanaugh as part of the probe.
Hunt asked Katz and Ford's other attorney Lisa Banks if they believe Ford was treated better than Anita Hill, the woman who publicly testified in 1991 about her accusation that then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed her. Ford's allegations and her treatment were frequently compared to Hill's during the confirmation battle.
Hill's hearing was preceded by a three-day FBI investigation.
"With Anita Hill, there was a full FBI investigation before there was ever a hearing," Banks said. "That did not occur here. This process was far worse."
"We thought it was bad back in 1991, and it's even worse today, the political climate and how women are treated." - Dr. Ford's attorney Lisa Banks
— Kasie DC (@KasieDC) October 7, 2018 Banks and Katz said Ford was "horrified" by President Trump's comments about her last week, during which he mocked Ford's testimony in an attempt to undermine her credibility.
"She was upset by it, yes, as any woman would be who’s the victim of sexual assault who was mocked and belittled by anyone, never mind the president of the United States," Banks said.
Many Republican leaders who voted for Kavanaugh's confirmation, such as key swing vote Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), have said they believe Ford was attacked as a teenager but do not believe Kavanaugh was her assailant.
Banks on NBC said Ford "knows" who assaulted her.
"She testified she knew him, he knew her, and she knows exactly who sexually assaulted her on that day," Banks said.
Probably true. They are angry that she was a terrible liar.
><
Projecting. They do something and then blame it on the right.
If any of this was true, there would be death threats to DiFi and the whole panel and her attorney’s. Not buying any of this. Democraps would lie about anything.
“Hey Sweetie, think before you make things up nd note, there’s consequences when you make things up.”
#metoo. # sign = Pound Sign.
So #metoo means Pound me too.
It’s over. In a few hours the left will move on to another outrage.
She should be safe to squeak in public again. She can join Monica’s anti bullying tour.
Not right. She shouldn’t have done what she did though, and she should be charged with perjury and defamation of character.
She is a liar. They are all liars. I would be willing to bet that there isn’t any more evidence of death threats than there is of sexual assault...
Zilmillow says that house is worth over 3.3 mil. WTF.
.... Damn ..... How unfortunate that there are actually “Consequences” for her “Actions” .... Heck .... What is this world coming too?
Has she and/or her attorney(s) filed any police report yet?
Zillow.
Their whole lying sham was deplorable.
Less than zero sympathy.
Oh, for Pete’s sake. She’s not getting death threats. I think she’s just one of those people who craves drama in her life. Being a thrill seeker usually does not end well.
Yup.
She already has 2 homes.
If this really happening, I would hope that the FBI would be investigating it. If has not happened, the FBI should pursue charges of fraud. She is clearly making money off of her claims.
Bad decisions can have bad consequences. She is the one who decided to wear the big girl pants and start running her mouth. That does not excuse actions by the right that are equally as hateful as those routinely pulled by the left but maybe it is time for them to taste their own medicine.
She will go to a resort someplace and “Recover” some more memories. Write a book and seek a Job at some left wing college. I bet the Judge is still getting death threats.
who threatening her other Dems or family?
semi sarcasm
She must be dreaming again.
