Scandal Watch: Blasey Ford’s Dad’s Doubts

Last year, Christine Blasey Ford “emerged” to accuse then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh “of attempted rape … when they were both teenagers,” but as Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino detail at The Federalist, an “intriguing” point still stands out: Her entire family “stayed conspicuously silent about the veracity of her allegations” — which are clearly relevant to the “many unanswered questions both about her story and her credibility.” When a public letter supporting Ford emerged by members of her family, it, notably, “wasn’t signed by a single blood relative.” In fact, “it appears the Blasey family had significant doubts about what Ford was trying to accomplish.” Perhaps even more interestingly, the writers note, Ford’s father recently approached Kavanuagh’s to express support of his son’s confirmation, saying he was “glad Brett was confirmed.”
