Debunking 5 Viral Rumors About Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh's Accuser
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/19/us/politics/christine-blasey-ford-kavanaughs-fact-check.htmlTo obey DU copyright rules, I'm just going to give the BS RUMORS with no text. All the RUMORS are false or misleading.
1- Claim: Dr. Blaseys students left negative reviews on her RateMyProfessors.com profile, calling her unprofessional and citing her dark personality.
2- Claim: Judge Kavanaughs mother once ruled against Dr. Blaseys parents in a foreclosure case.
3- Claim: Dr. Blasey made similar sexual assault accusations against Justice Neil Gorsuch during his nomination process.
4- Claim: Dr. Blasey is a major Democratic donor with a long history of left-wing activism.
5- Claim: Dr. Blaseys brother worked at a law firm with ties to the Russia investigation.
So now when you get a nutty email or see a strange Facebook post, you're prepared for it.

I haven't seen these memes or talking points but then I'm staying away from Facebook recently.

I hear she has an extra eye
That always remains awake
I hear that she can shed her skin
As easily as a snake!
I hear some rebel Animals
Are giving her food and shelter!
I hear her soul is so unclean
Pure water can melt her!
And in Trumpland, they'll be out buying buckets of water a la Wicked.
They are such asshats. I would love for the FBI to start doing their job re: witness tampering.

they clearly have yet to do that. Check out the meaning of "go viral."

All on Tuesday (bumped into a buddy and his wife at Walmart) and Wednesday (stopped to chat with group of three of my neighbors while I walked my dog). Also over heard conversation in Post Office lobby that Democrats were smearing Kavanaugh.

Mother ruling against them. When I looked for it the next day on the site, it was gone.
