Did she make it up? People flying while having a fear of flying is common. I have anxiety when it comes to enclosed spaces, which is the reason Ford gave. I still fly when needed. It's very common. So latching onto this to attack credibility is misguided.

But, since you asked me if I thought she way lying, allow me to tell you what I really think.. It's a fact that Dr. Ford owns homes in not just one, but two of the most expensive real estate areas in the Nation. I'm willing to bet that she's been quite the donor to some of the California Democrats, over the years. I don't think for a moment that it isn't beyond her, or anyone in her position to go out on a limb to help the political cause with false accusations. If any of what she claims is proven to be true? I hope Kavanaugh burns in hell. However, since anyone that she named is emphatically denying anything of the sort happened, I would be shocked if an investigation turned up anything of real merit.

The statement that anyone she named is emphatically denying this happened isn't exactly correct. I also have a hard time believing someone would put themselves through the difficulties she has gone through for political purposes. The death threats, the threat of perjury, all of the things she has to deal with as a result of this isn't something that I would see someone doing for political motives.

I should also note, here, that I still don't say with certainty that Kavanaugh did this, just that I believe she is telling a truth she believes in and not a lie.

I'm a fan of Occam.
