I Expect That These Pale Male Republican Senators Will Show The World What Bullies They Are
Next week, Christine Blasey Ford will likely face intense questioning from Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee about the truthfulness of her accusations against Brett Kavanaugh..
Ford will face questions from the 11 Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, all of them men, with an average age of 62. (The chairman, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the second-oldest sitting senator, is 85.) In the committee’s 202-year history, it has not had a single Republican woman.
Dear media - Can you please refer to Christine Ford as Dr. Christine Ford and not as the "Brett Kavanaugh accuser" or as the "accuser" or as the "victim."
Dr. Ford has earned the title plus she's a human being not a faceless accuser or victim. Thanks. - DeanObeidallah
