Senators Hirono and Gillibrand on Judge Kavanaugh Supreme Court Nomination

Senators Mazie Hirono (D-HI) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) hold a press conference with alumnae from Holton-Arms School, the alma mater Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

Now VOD at C-Span. It's on YouTube too:

1. GOP is going to knowingly put a rapist on the SC because they hate

women that much.

Two fer, they can shove it in their face putting in a rapist who will also overturn all their rights as human beings.

They are going to do it, which is why we have a real big problem given I hope I am not the only one who will NOT accept this?

2. Thank you

I am so happy to see the support for Dr. Blasey. Today on several news sites I saw story after story of murder, abuse, kidnapping, torture, and disappearance of girls and women. It's more common than gun violence. It cannot be tolerated or ignored. Stop this culture of violence toward females. Stop Kavanaugh and his ilk.

3. Dr Ford needs be prepared to say over and over, "Senator, I am NOT Anita Hill...

...and you WILL respect me!"

Say it loud, say it proud and say it with conviction.

Get in their faces. Women know when they are being dissed and a powerful statement that "I will not be bullied, I am not Anita Hill, I demand respect" will put Grassley, Hatch, et al in on their heels in front of the entire nation.

Then answer the question her way.
If she is interrupted, repeat, "Senator, I am NOT....you WILL respect me"

4. I agree but cool it with the Anita Hill diss. She was not a bullied, helpless victim as you suggest.

She was and is a professional woman trying to make her points before a group of racist, white men determined to scoff in disbelief and dismiss of her statements.

If Dr. Ford appears she will benefit from what Prof. Hill had to endure.
