Return to Blog #8B: REPs fixed rules to undermine Ford’s claim re Kavanaugh
- How did we get to this point?
- Their evidence standard betrays a disinterest in or opposition to the #metoo movement
- They made things worse by using a presumption of innocence for a job applicant
- The Republicans used a presumption of innocence to ignore multiple allegations against Justice Kavanaugh
- Using a presumption of innocence is a core element of the systematic approach for rejecting sexual-assault allegations
- Using a presumption of innocence means that the Republicans would routinely confirm nominees who are guilty
- They used a prosecutor’s report on Dr. Ford’s allegation to further distort the process and to distort the truth
- Ms. Mitchel should have testified under oath regarding her report
- The Republicans sneakily used Ms. Mitchell’s report to apply the beyond-a-reasonable-doubt evidence standard
- The cumulative impact of the Republicans’ willful conduct in rejecting sexual-misconduct allegations is dramatic and unacceptable
- How could the Republicans have convinced people to believe or accept their narrative?
- The Republicans had to create the illusion that there are facts which disprove the reality
- The Republican system is a juggernaut!
- The Republicans are on the verge of permanently damaging the #metoo movement
- Dr. Ford expected the worst, yet bravely came forward
- Republicans will discourage victims from coming forward unless Democrats and the press do their jobs
- There is a unique opportunity to stop the Republicans’ despicable conduct and to protect women
- Looking Forward
