The North Carolina Republican Party followed President Donald Trump’s lead in attacking Dr. Christine Blasey Ford for coming forward about an alleged sexual assault.

The News and Observer reported Thursday that Lanny Lancaster, Cabarrus County GOP chairman, shared a photo he said was Dr. Ford, posted by another account named Joseph Mannarino.

“This is the alleged sexual assault victim. Wow,” Lancaster said of a young woman in braces and large glasses.

The photo isn’t “the alleged sexual assault victim.”

Tuesday, Democratic congressional candidate Frank McNeill used a screen capture of the post in an e-mail noting the GOP attacked a sexual assault survivor.

1. More evidence that GOPrs are assholes

[Sanity Claws]

2. As though that would put off teenage boys

intent of getting their jollies.

[Aristus]

3. GODDAMMIT! Rape isn't about sexual attraction!

It's about violence and domination; a ritual of humiliation! What does it matter how she looked? Kavanaugh tried to take something away from her by force: her human dignity.

[gratuitous]

4. Nice

I'll bet old Lanny would have cast the first stone. What a peach of a guy.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. There's only one word for this:

DEPLORABLE. Sort of seems strange now that Hillary was attacked for calling them out in 2016.

[TheBlackAdder]

6. Hah! This one explanation will blow up that Kavanaugh excuse: BEER GOGGLES!

.

Man, Republicans really love to eat bullshit, whether it's from their leaders or among themselves.

7. ...

8. What sort of adult comments in this way on any photo of any adolescent girl?

10. The same type of vermin that Rusty Limpdick is,

when he made fun of Chelsea Clinton & said she was a dog.

9. Sad thing is that this will increase their support among voters

This country is fucked
