The 65 Women

We need to know more about the 65 women defending Kavanaugh! Are they Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter types who are such right-wing stalwarts that they would most undoubtedly lie to keep their God-appointed leader's (Trump's) agenda, protected!

We need to know some things about them and their political leanings. They put themselves in the line of fire, they are not random women who are just trying to live their lives.

I think if 65 women are vouching for this dude's character and credibility, they should do so publicly. Otherwise, it means nothing. It defeats the whole purpose.

The Stepford ladies that sucks up to Trumplicans are discredited. Including Hume.

BTW I believe all 65 women, too. Kavanaugh never assaulted me either. You can add my name to the list.

Heck, I was senior class president in high school and I damn sure did not know 65 women in any meaningful way.

Just what makes you think they're not credible?

He may have been a stand up guy to them, and yet still sexually assaulted other women.

Women who knew Kavanaugh as a teenager so quickly. Especially when he went to a boys' schoool.

but did not release it until last week, how did the Republicans search for, organize, gather signatures and produce the letter from the 65 women if they did not have some inkling or fore-knowledge that there was big trouble lurking in Kavanaugh's background/history?
