Six Times Ford Has Contradicted Herself in Her Senate Testimony
Christine Ford WAs lighting up the media with her emotional retelling of the night she says Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her.
Democrats -- before Kavanaugh has even had a chance to defense himself -- have already said his nomination should be pulled. The media are portraying Kavanaugh's nomination as all but doomed.
Emotion aside, on a factual basis, Ford has repeatedly gotten caught in a web of contradictions.
Here are the most notable:
1) Ford told the committee that she couldn't remember if she gave the Washington Post her therapist's notes. (The Washington Post reported that she had in fact provided these notes.) Unlike the original incident, this was only weeks ago, and yet she's forgotten a very basic detail.
2) Her attorneys previously told the Senate Judiciary Committee she has a fear of flying and asked if they would postpone last week's scheduled hearing, as she would need to drive across country.
Sen. Grassley complied, postponing the hearing specifically to give her more time.
Yet during her testimony, Ford admitted that not only did she indeed fly to the hearing, she flies all the time.
3) She's given several different accounts of how many people were at the party. In the polygraph test, she says there were "four boys and a couple of girls," but to the Washington Post she said there were only four people total.
Today she said she wasn't sure how many people were there, but that there were "at least" four boys and two girls.
She said there is one boy whose name she cannot recall; she also said there is someone who helped arrange her attendance at this event, but she didn't want to bring his name into the public.
That would mean there were at least five boys (Kavanaugh, Mark Judge, "PJ," who is Patrick Smyth, the boy she can't remember, and the boy she doesn't want to name).
4) Ford said there was at least one girl in attendance, her friend Leland Ingham Keyser. In an earlier statement to the press, however, Leland Keyser said that not only was she not at this party, she doesn't even know Brett Kavanaugh.
5) Ford says she's "100 percent" sure Kavanaugh assaulted her.
However, she admitted having a zero percent recollection of when the party was, where it was, how she got to the party, who pushed her into the room, and how she got home.
She also forgot when her grandmother's funeral was last month (which was the date she took her polygraph test), as well as conversations she had two weeks ago with The Washington Post.
It's odd she has such certainty about a hazy event 37 years ago when her memory has clear lapses over both the near and long term.
6) In her testimony, Ford said she met with the staff of Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) on July 18th and with her "on July 20th." But in her written testimony, she said she "met with her staff on July 11th and with her on July 13th."
