Your thoughts?
The only evidence to that would be a statement from her saying that she doesn’t have a fear of flying. And even then, people can hold different positions at different times without lying.

So in effect, your question is nonsense...

"Ford’s fear of flying was cited as the reason she could not grant Committee chairman Chuck Grassley’s request that she travel to Washington, D.C. to testify on Sept. 17."

"'May I ask, how did you get to Washington?' Mitchell asked. Ford replied, 'In an airplane.' Mitchell went on to ask about several other trips Ford took for both work and pleasure despite her fear of flying. Ford, a California resident, shared that she flies every year to visit family in Delaware."

Not nonsense at all. She said she had a fear of flying and was attempting to delay the hearing. So, the committee said, "Hey, we'll come to you in California!" then at the hearing, she played dumb. "Oh, I didn't know you would come out to me." Stall tactics. The fact that she, and her lawyers, were playing along with the Democrats to stall should really make everyone question how much of this is part of their playbook. It's yet another part of this that doesn't add up.

What do you guys think the press would say if President Trump would say he has a fear of flying?
They would call him a liar. But they do that anyway.

She didn't. Her lawyers and handlers did it as a stalling tactic.
That's possible. But, who is working for whom? A statement like that is really an open admission that she is a willing participant in this shameful stalling tactic.

She also lied about not being political. She has been a part of many a Republican bashing march.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

What's wrong with stalling a potential rapist (in her eyes, mind you) from ascending to the Supreme Court?

Why such a need to rush through this nomination?

Hey, maybe you haven't noticed but the whole country is divided right now. It's kinda hard to not be on one side or the other at this point in history.

Merrick Garland in 2016? What sauces the goose, sauces the gander.

When Republicans bring Democrats a gravey-train of a lager-lout in a suit and attempt to whitewash his past, can you really blame them?

I think there are going to be A LOT of hidden secrets about her that are going to be brought out into the light of day now that the Democrats have initiated an FBI investigation that is also going to shine a probing light on HER. He has been through six (6) of these, and nothing was found. Such is not the case with her past. Very possibly a "biggly" miscalculation on their part.

She did not know that the Senate committee offered to interview her at home without the need for her to travel to Washington. There are a number of things she was not aware of.

That tells me that someone was keeping her in hiding and telling her only what they wanted her to hear. Yes, she has been manipulated.

I even began a thread here sarcastically asking if Christine Blasey Ford even existed. She was hidden from the press, gave no interviews, and made no statements to anyone. The only pictures that even existed of her was one from a high school yearbook, and the other was from her now-deleted Facebook page that could have been of anyone.

I believe she was kept in hiding and subjected to round the clock coaching by the people handling her.

Then Republicans should be all on board with the investigation.

And probably also because she was receiving death threats.
