Ford testimony adds to pressure on Kavanaugh
Christine Blasey Ford emphatically stood by her allegation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school during a blockbuster hearing on Thursday where an outside counsel hired by Republicans sought to poke holes in her story.
Ford offered a gripping account of the alleged assault from the 1980s that left an audience in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room rapt, appearing to hold back tears at times as she recounted an event from her high school years.
In a key moment, Ford said she had a clear memory of Kavanaugh putting his hand over her mouth to stifle her screams during a high school party and strongly denied that she might be confusing someone else for him, saying at one point she was “100 percent” certain it had been Kavanaugh.
Reviews of Ford’s testimony were generally positive, with many commentators on Fox News arguing that she was a compelling, believable and sympathetic witness.
They argued it would put more pressure on Kavanaugh to turn in a strong performance when he appears before the panel later on Thursday. Kavanaugh has emphatically denied the allegations of Ford and two other women who have raised charges of sexual misconduct.

Sounds like Rapey McRapeface isn't handling the pressure too well.
