Christine Blasey Ford has set the MeToo movement back a decade by ‘weaponizing’ unsubstantiated allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, in a ‘well orchestrated’ and politically motivated attempt to destroy him.
These are the charges today leveled against Ford, 53, by Linda Tripp, the woman who exposed Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Tripp secretly recorded the then 22-year-old Lewinsky admitting to her intimacy with the president 17 years her senior. She made the tapes public in January 1998.
But today she does not see Ford’s decision to speak up as an act of conscience in any way comparable to her own.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMailTV she cast doubt on Ford’s credibility as a witness, called out the hypocrisy of some sitting in judgment and described the whole affair of ‘smacking of a political agenda.’

T. But today she does not see Ford’s decision to speak up as an act of conscience in any way comparable to her own

Tripp, 68, said, ‘Any allegations of sexual assault should be heard but I have to wonder at the timing of Ford’s decision to come forward.
‘He was a judge in I think the second highest court of the land for several years but that was not enough to propel her forward.
‘She didn’t come forward when she shared it with a therapist, why not?
‘I believe it was because then there would not have been a great bang for the buck. Then, he was not going to be a swing vote turning the court decidedly towards conservative values.’
Tripp continued, ‘What she described is certainly inappropriate behavior but I don’t know if it rises to the level of rape or counts as an event that traumatic enough to blot out her memory of much of the evening.’
President Trump recently mocked Ford’s testimony, pointing up the number of times she said she simply could not remember details of the night such as where the party was or how she got home.
Tripp also pointed to Ford’s failure to recall pertinent details as a reason to doubt the veracity of her account.
She said, ‘What we’re seeing in the way this uncorroborated story is being handled is so damaging because the idea that we have to believe an accuser just because of her DNA, just because she’s a woman was never the goal.
‘The goal was for parity, for an equal reception, not automatically discounting somebody who came forward but now we’ve turned the tables completely and made men the victim.’
She added, ‘I am in no doubt that Kavanaugh is the victim here and the motivation for everything that we’re seeing is political.’
Kavanaugh himself slammed the investigation into Ford’s claims against him as ‘a calculated and orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent-up anger about President Trump and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stocked about my judicial record, revenge on behalf of the Clintons and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups.’
Kavanaugh worked on the investigation led by independent counsel Kenneth Starr and prompted by Tripp’s expose of Clinton’s relationship with Lewinsky.
Tripp recalled her encounters with Kavanaugh at that time. She said, ‘He was not my main interviewer but I spent Monday to Friday at that office for weeks and weeks being debriefed and my clear recollection of him was that he was judicious even then.’

She remembered Kavanaugh as seemingly always wearing a white shirt, respectful of everyone and unfailingly professional.
Kavanaugh co-wrote Starr’s report and laid out the legal framework supporting Clinton’s impeachment - he argued that the president could have been impeached for misleading the public and lying to staff members.
Earlier this week Hillary Clinton said that any notion of ‘revenge’ ‘deserved a lot of laughter.’
But Tripp is not amused and nor is she inclined to dismiss that aspect of the situation in which Kavanaugh now finds himself.
She said, ‘This was a well orchestrated plan. You have to question why allegations like this have been given any credibility when somebody like Anita Broderick who alleged rape by Bill Clinton was so dismissed and destroyed.

Said Tripp: ‘What she described is certainly inappropriate behavior but I don’t know if it rises to the level of rape or counts as an event that traumatic enough to blot out her memory of much of the evening'

‘The double standard is mind boggling. I look at Hillary and her response is chilling to me because she has put herself front and center as a support of women, a supporter of accusers when in fact she destroyed them when they came forward with allegations about her husband.’
Tripp acknowledged that ‘we have all done things in our high school and college days we’re not proud of.’
She said, ‘I have very little question that Kavanaugh probably drank too much more than once.’

But, she said, ‘that does not make him a sexual predator.’
According to Tripp, ‘It’s heartbreaking to think about what this is doing to Kavanaugh and his family because whatever the outcome of the FBI investigation or the vote the damage is done.
‘He will always wear that scarlet letter as far as some are concerned.
‘But I think as sad as that is for him and his wife and daughters the worst part of all of this is watching what it is doing to the country.
‘With these allegations and this political hit we are witnessing its utter disintegration.

Thank you, Linda.

We need more credible female voices to echo these sentiments.

For truth, for boys, for men, for real victims of rape and attempted rape, and for the country.
