Sandy Rios: Christine Blasey Ford 'Deserves Mockery'

[Initech]

The second segment of this morning’s episode of “Sandy Rios in the Morning” began with audio of President Donald Trump at a rally in Mississippi mocking Christine Blasey Ford, who testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her in the 1980s, pinning her to a bed, attempting to undress her, groping her, and covering her mouth when she tried to scream for help.

Rios, the program’s host and the American Family Association’s governmental affairs director, responded to the audio by declaring that she believes that Blasey Ford “deserves mockery” because she is “the perpetrator.”

Rios then chided political figures who criticized Trump’s behavior, arguing that it was somehow justified.

“Some people think that it was wrong to mock Christine Ford. I did my share of it, too. I think she’s a liar and I think she deserves mockery. I think she is the perpetrator. I think the more I’m learning about her, the more dangerous I’m hearing that she is,” Rios said. “She’s not an innocent woman.”

Rios then proceeded to promote the conspiracy theory churning in right-wing media that argues that because of refuted allegations that Blasey Ford assisted a roommate in preparing for a polygraph test when she applied for federal jobs, Blasey Ford used her knowledge of polygraphy to somehow game her own test.

No, Sandy, the only one here who deserves mockery is you. And everyone else who buys into right wing conspiracy theory bullshit nonsense.

4. What the Republicans are doing is a form of terrorism. Attack and destroy

anyone who speaks out to strike fear in the rest of us.

Right now it is character assassination but it can turn deadly.

We are truly in a war not of our making and I believe the entire Republican Party is complicit.

We still have the Democratic Party, Independent reps. As a people we must stay unafraid, outspoken, and in the face of the Republicans. . It is not easy but we need to stay strong.

It has been happening at least since G Bush got into office illegitimately. We are well on the road to becoming a country like Iraq under Saddam Hussein.

I think it is urgent for all of use to keep speaking out. Once people falter and fear sets in, the dictator/strongman and his apparatus consolidates power.

A "leader' who can joke about killing someone and getting away with it. is one who is terrorizing and is capable of moving on to torture and murder of those he considers enemies or the weak.
