“I have been accused of acting out of partisan political motives. Those who say that do not know me. I am an independent person and I am no one’s pawn.”
—Dr Christine Blasey Ford
The portrait of Dr Christine Blasey Ford came about very quickly after watching her speak during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. I was utterly disgusted witnessing the outcome. I believed Dr Ford and considered her coming forward to speak to be a very courageous act for the sake of the nation. Her valiant action magnified Brett Kavanaugh’s belligerent and ugly conduct that I found impossible to reconcile with someone being considered for the highest court in the land.
