Second night in a row, guests are talking about memory or trying to remember

Anderson Cooper has a couple of people on right now talking about false memory. They're talking about Blasey Ford if she can be sure she is identifying Kavanaugh by sight since it's been so long.

Whoever said Blasey Ford just remembered all of this in 2012? She knew who it was the day it happened. So there is no need to be questioning her on how she remembered or when she remembered.

Where did this come from? Or are people out there doing this as a way to discredit her allegation?

last night—implying that Dr. Blasey Ford only recently remembered the incident.

Then Anderson Cooper had some psychiatrist on talking about how many identifications made in crimes are found incorrect with DNA and she said it's because trying to remember details from a long time ago leads to false identifications.

Well, yes that is probably true. But that is not what Dr. Ford is saying. She knew it was Kavanaugh the day it happened. So these stupid guests need to be informed before they get on tv and make incorrect statements.

Cooper's show, but Chavez damn well knew she was lying, so it was more than an "incorrect" statement. I think the Repubs have sent out the talking points and told people to repeat them.
