Christine Blasey Ford, whose allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh rocked his confirmation hearing, says that although coming forward to tell her story was traumatic, she's 'thankful' it started a larger conversation.

Washington Christine Blasey Ford, whose allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh rocked his confirmation hearing last year, said Sunday that although coming forward to tell her story was traumatic, she's"thankful" it started a larger conversation about the subject.

In remarks after accepting an award from the American Civil Liberties Union in Southern California, Ford reflected on her experience testifying in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and said she will continue the work of"protecting sexual assault survivors and preventing sexual assault.""I'm thankful that sharing my experience prompted over 200,000 people from across our country and around the world to send messages of support.

MaeveReston God forgive me, but I want to hate this woman. She’s the Jezebel of modern society.

MaeveReston Ew.

Yea that liars always seem to be reaping a reward!!

That larger conversation involves what the real truth is about what she did and why....

Um, it’s Doctor. Get it right CNN.

Great woman! Classy and truthful . God bless you. Stay strong!💪👏

NO!

Too bad her story about Kavanaugh was a complete fabrication.

Press charges on that liar

A proven pathological liar

Yes. Like dont sleep with everyone you meet. Maybe then you may remember some names.

She was thankful for Million dollars she got

And not a single one of her friends backed her story up.

Yes, about her mental issues.

And CNN totally fell for it. Lol, seems like Ford is the smart one.

Trump will nominate Amy Barrett next, there won't be any accusations next time.

You mean the outright conversation about her farcical bull-Schiff and how the media swallowed it hook, line & sinker?

Difference between left and right: Trump impeachment hoax hearings go for 2 weeks with ZERO interruptions from protestors or people on the right Kavanaugh confirmation was interrupted 200+ times in ONE WEEK to block his confirmation Tell me again who is dividing our country?

This is your daily reminder that all 83 accusations against Justice Kavanaugh were dismissed because there was absolutely ZERO evidence of any wrongdoing Why didn’t the media cover this as extensively as they covered Dr. Ford’s false testimony? 🤔

So sad when ppl believes their own lies...

As predicted once she was not useful the Democrats and Media completely dismissed her.

That 'lady' is an absolute fraud, makes me sick that a woman can slander a man without any proof whatsoever and get an award for it.😡

So some broad with no evidence shows up god knows how many years after the incident coincidently at the same time he is getting a big job... yeah doesn’t seem like politically motivated bs

Believe all women, even if they're lying.

Shameless women

Yea, for example how to deal with liars like Ford

Tool

She's a Whack a Doo.

She's a terrible actress. The Dems should have made her rehearse her lies better.

As someone who both has a degree in psychology AND has been through sexual assault, I feel nothing but contempt for her. Anyone worth their salt in even an undergraduate psych class knows symptoms / reactions of SA victims. I have no doubt that she lied.

What that women can now make baseless accusations with zero truth in an effort to destroy a good man’s life?

It should have started a national conversation about lack of accountability for those who make false allegations.

Pathetic that any of you losers actually believe a word she says🤦🏻‍♂️

She means larger book-sales...

Liar

She also loves the millions made in her GoFundMe account.

Thank you for the book deal but an even bigger thank you to all the idiots that will buy it

She should be in jail.

Mental Illness brought on by Post Menopause.

Lies

The conversation is that she lied and the the sheep listened...

A discredited liar.....

Vocal fry lady was pressured to lie and lied.

Rocked his confirmation huh? Who writes this stuff?

The praise for this liar is insane.

How about you Investigate a Real story like Epstein and the people who were associated w him! Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, on and on! Real vs Fake

Getting an award for lying it seems

She’s proud of what proved to be lies?

She's clearly lying.

She lied about this don’t you remember that far back nobody could back up her story

Sadly which will be ignored by the establishment

She is a troubled woman, who made a huge payday from her uncorroborated testimony. Even her best friend thought she was lying. A complicit media keeps her “story” going.

The fact that this liar is celebrated is evidence of Americas moral decline. At best her story is nothing more than a incorrect recollection, at worst it's an outright lie. Yet, because it is a means to an end, some are willing to ignore reality and encourage this sort of thing.

Attention sicker !!! Crazy woman that’s all there is . Sad for women that’s a real victim

Why do you continue to showcase and support this known liar ?

FakeNewsCNN

ikkk

Liar

A lie started a lie but hey she at least got paid.

How much did she get for this piece of what you call “news”?

Slander pays.

She’s thankful she got rich from stupid go fund me donors.

Dems are awarding known liars. Adam Schiff's award should be 10 feet tall.

Wait, she lied and it was traumatic?

People are getting arrested for backing her up you know

All of a sudden CNN remembers who she is.

CNN stick to reporting actual news.

The metoo lying conversation?

$$$$$$$ she got it

shelied metoo hillaryforprison billsbimbos clintoncrimefamily bushcrimefamily pedoisland Epsteindidntkillhimself

Fake news

Wasn’t it all a lie ?

She's a complete Liar, looking for her 15 minutes!!!

Even her family does not believe Ballsy Ford.

Lying to start a conversation - wonderful.

Standing up to powerful dishonest men take super strength. Congrats Ms Ford.

Despicable network, despicable, lying fraud. You guys go perfect together

Lying about sexual assault and acting like it’s doing good in the world makes you a bad human.

BIMBO

And is it possible to get a less flattering picture? U could make a whole baby with that neck flap

A conversation where credibility is important.

Bullshit detected!!!!

Starting conversations about structural change for repressed communities of lgbtq poc so impeachment blah blah blah.. who's streets our streets, no trump no wall no USA at all... We get it.

Conversations out of a lie and she is proud of that 🤦🏻‍♂️

CNN should start a go fund me page to help you.

She’s a liar and everyone knows it.

I have seen many evil people in my life, this lady is worst than an evil she is the abomination of the devil itself. She is a very sick person.

Oh, she started a conversation!

Why is reported as if the complaint was credible?

You mean the conversation about how absolutely Effing crazy she is? That was the real convo around the water cooler, fake news!

Welcome Back, Christine Blasey FordIt’s been a little over one year since the Brett Kavanaugh hearings took place, which seems nearly impossible to believe: the dread lingers. But this isn’t about accused men playing victim in some fabricated 21st century witch hunt, as my colleague Emily Alford wrote at the time. It is about Christine Blasey Ford, who on Sunday made a rare public appearance at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California in Beverly Hills to accept the Rodger Baldwin Courage Award. It’s nice to see such a familiar and trusted face, and I don’t mean Judd Apatow who, for whatever reason, presented her with the award.
