VIDEO: Trump draws laughter and cheers at a rally as he mocks Christine Blasey Ford who has alleged that his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her; Trump had previously called her a credible witness.
Republicans really don’t like women.
if any thinking at all is going on, im guessing it is that now dr ford must be totally discredited
- this is not a court - innocent till proven guilty, reasonable doubt, preponderance of the evidence - none of that matters
- there is no articulated ‘standard’ at play here against which everything can be more or less objectively measured
- they tried “she’s probably telling the truth but it was someone else”. it’s a joke, everybody knows it, and nobody bought it
- if dr ford is not totally discredited, then it’s *possible* it actually happened
so dr ford must be totally discredited
