Avery Corley: Political tactic or coincidence?
After a story of sexual assault against Judge Brett Kavanaugh was released to the public, many people were wondering why it had come out now. The answer is very simple, the Democrats are using basic political tactics like Republicans have used in the past to try to keep Kavanaugh from being confirmed into the supreme court. Also for quite a bit of time, the accuser's name was left anonymous, which would have made a more difficult case for the Democrats to thwart his confirmation. The big unanswered question is if Ford (the accuser) didn't come forth publicly then who leaked her identity?
This article was written by Amber Phillips on September 17th, 2018. I believe that this article presented some extremely captivating details. In my personal opinion, the Democrats made a very smart move by presenting this case in order to keep Kavanaugh from being affirmed into the supreme court. Also, Ford's case seems bulletproof which will help the Democrats greatly when the case goes to court. the accusations about the assault also have therapy notes and polygraph tests from Ford to back it up. I still like other people want to know how her name was leaked to the public, and why she wanted to be kept secret unlike the accusers in other similar circumstances. This part of the incident doesn't make sense to me and hopefully with time will be further explained.
Why are accusations against Kavanaugh coming out now?
