Not one republican senator will ask a question of Dr. Ford. Supreme Cowards.

While Dr. Ford is risking all to go before the committee, the republican senators will risk nothing.

They won't even personally ask her a question.

They are handing it off to a third party.

Shame on them.

COWARDS.

GOP Hires Arizona Sex Crimes Prosecutor to Question Kavanaugh and Ford

Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee have hired Rachel Mitchell, a sex crimes prosecutor from Arizona, to question Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford at a hearing Thursday. A registered Republican, Mitchell has for 26 years been at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, where she works on cases “ranging from child molestation to computer crimes against children,” according to the Arizona Republic.

Mitchell was first named in a report from the Washington Post, which only said that she was the Senate GOP’s top choice for the job of questioning Kavanaugh and Ford. Not long after the Post published its story, Judiciary chairman Charles Grassley, who earlier Tuesday said he wasn’t releasing Mitchell’s name because he feared for her safety, confirmed her hiring.

“I’m very appreciative that Rachel Mitchell has stepped forward to serve in this important and serious role,” the statement says. “Mrs. Mitchell has been recognized in the legal community for her experience and her objectivity.”

1. This is sick sick sick....

1- They are cowards, too afraid to ask questions themselves
2- They are probably ALL lawyers
3- They insult women by USING another woman to attack for them.
4-The call a female lawyer an 'assistant.' So what else is she expected to do as an 'assistant?" Huh? tell me that, will ya?
5- Democrats damn well better not them get away with this.. SCREAM it to the rafters.. NOW--- don't wait until tomorrow...
6- Where is the 'official' outrage?

[democratic friend]

5. The media all last week made fun of them for being old and men

I wish they hadn’t and then America could have seen how nasty they are asking questions to a survivor. Had the media held their fire this wouldn't be happening.

6. Not sure I follow......?

9. The media showed pictures of the republicans on committee

And compared then to the democratic side. Then asked how can 11 white dude ask questions to Dr. Ford. Well Repugs saw that and said, “shit” and the rest is history.

2. So how's this gonna work?

Do Dem Senators get to go for 5 minutes then the republican's mercenary goes for 5, repeatedly? And what's the order/decorum? If the repub questioner gets out of line (as we expect), can/will Democratic senators confront her? This whole thing sounds like a shitshow in the making.

7. The whole thing a a crock of shit.

Our guys and gals should be screaming to the rafters on every media outlet in the land..at least in IMNSHO


They are just cowards to ask questions themselves..

8. I think it's going to be difficult for the repugs to funnel all questions through their "assistant".

They will be hard-pressed not to jump in. This hearing has the potential to be a real cluster.
