Emerging as the GOP party line: Ms. Ramirez---who is, after all, a "REGISTERED DEMOCRAT"---

having witnessed all of the wonderful publicity and attention showered on Dr. Blasey-Ford when she accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault, decided " I want me some of that!" and made up a lurid accusation out of whole cloth.

The tragedy is that this makes about as much sense as anything we hear from the Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee.

Seriously, Ms. Ramirez's nice girl, sweet and honest image is probably what enraged the young Kavanaugh, causing him to want to humiliate her.

Ya think sexual abuse would transcend political party lines, but these assholes just do not care.

Had something to do with her decision to register as a Democrat???

Honestly, why if you were traumatized by a group of hypocritical Conservative classmates would you then join the GOP? You wouldn't.

They'll proclaim she's a liar and only doing this for political reasons, knowing he did this , preventing an investigation of him, and hiding more about his corruption and sexual assaults. It shows how horribly corrupt these kgop and trump have become. Trump and the kgop are ok with a criminal sexual predator on the highest court, and attacking women's right's and that should make every woman against these monsters this election. This is disgusting they are even still trying to keep him as a nominee.

Her story is corroborated my multiple witnesses. (Who Grassley will probably never allow to testify)
