Mollie Hemingway comments on an ABC interview with Christine Blasey Ford. She who claimed that the 2017 Trump nominee for the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh had sexually molested her some thirty years ago. Or fifty. Or ten. Or maybe. Or maybe not.
This is what the famous Sam Harris staked his claim of Brett Kavanaugh’s unfitness for office on. Nonsense, IOW.
It’s what changed my mind about Harris. I’d loved his work, read all his books, subscribed to his podcast.
Then he did this. He said Kavanaugh was unfit for office because of the claims of Christine Blasey Ford. No proof required. To this man who staked his reputation on being a man driven by the data, by the science, by facts.
Blasey Ford’s claims, even from here in Hong Kong, where we followed the Senate hearings way back when, 2017, we found unbelievable. That is, we both, including my wife, who was first to say to me that Blasey Ford didn’t seem credible. And she wasn’t. And it was then proven that she wasn’t. No-one supported her claims. Not her friends, not her mother. Not her therapist. Yet to this day the Left still talks to her. It’s a bit like the Russia Collusion thing. They just can’t let go, even when the 4-year Mueller Investigation proved no collusions.
Trump destroyed the brains of people like Sam Harris. They left him logic-free. And willing, as he’s said himself, to support anything, anything, that would stop him from having another term.
Sam has not recovered.
I guess he won’t, it’s too late.
I wonder how he’ll be if Trump wins again in November. And all the others with TDS. Though the media may just love it. Ratings up, an’ all.
