Blasey's father reached out to Kavanagh's father after Kavanagh was confirmed...

Last night on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show he interviewed Ruth Marcus - author of “Supreme Ambition”.

Blasey’s father reached out the day after the confirmation to tell Brett’s father that he was glad Brett had been confirmed. Maintaining one’s good standing in wealthy and powerful social circles matters more to him than his daughter’s trauma at the time of the attempted rape, her ongoing trauma since the event, and the trauma of coming forward to testify.

Clearly, Dr. Ford is in that latter group.

Her father is scum.

"Where are the parents?" Sure, the boys were a little older, but some of the girls were younger. I wonder if the home needed carpet cleaning services, a maid, etc before the parents returned?

No wonder Dr. Ford went into mental health field.

Where maintaining you status of wealth and privilege is more important than an attempted rape of your daughter.
