Feinstein honored Ford's request to keep her allegation confidential,

"but "regrettably others did not""

This hot take from Vox, and others, now look really bad.

For most sane people the idea that Feinstein was protecting this woman was always a possibility. Yet the first knee-jerk response was to turn a serious allegation of attempted rape into a story about Feinstein doing wrong.

We will watch Grassley and Hatch attempt to discredit her a zillion more ways. Those two need to get over the luxury of being an old, white male in the GOP. Their time is up! I wish a Women's March could be held NOW and really put pressure on these bastards. Women are the majority in this country...It is about time we were making the rules and decisions about our health and our rights.

Call the Senate (202)224-3121 DC Directory. Make sure your friends and family call too. Here is the contact info for the members of the Judiciary Comm...try to call Hatch and Grassley and encourage the Dem members to stay strong!

Thankfully her full story is out now and just let the repugs continue to try to ram through this perjurer/attempted rapist onto the court with an election coming up in less that two months.

Millions more women voters will turn their backs on trump and trumpism.
