Rough Horse Play

By Josh Marshall

September 18, 2018 11:43 am

Interesting and perhaps disturbing moment a short time ago as Carrie Severino, spokesperson of the Judicial Crisis Network, was interviewed on CNN. The JCN is the central campaign arm for Republican judicial nominations. The Federalist Society grooms and chooses the nominees. The JCN runs the campaigns, runs political ads in Senators’ states, as necessary. Here Severino argues that it’s not clear that what Ford describes wasn’t simply “rough horse play” as opposed to attempted rape.

so nothing of the kind ever happened at all? How did the story change from "I wasn't there" to "It was just horseplay"?

A lie is a lie is a lie.

If you believe Ford (and apparently they do, since they believe something happened)
then their guy is a liar.

Case closed. (Not for Ford, of course, and there is always much to be discussed around issues of assault - but for the case of the nominee that shouldn't be.......that case should be closed).

and his buddy... came up behind her in a bedroom, threw her down on the bed, jumped on top of her while the buddy closed the bedroom door, and pawed at her clothing while holding a hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming?

Horse play my ass.

I hope a couple of drunken louts engage in some rough horseplay with you. I'm sure you'll understand.
