It's inside Shyne Coldtrain Jr.'s tweet, which Vee posted upthread.  He quoted Jawny Mathis, who referred to the CNN pundit that said Ford was more credible than Hill, because she projected vulnerability where Hill projected strength and poise.

 

It's been my experience that the LAST thing a Black woman will ever do is appear vulnerable before white people.  Not when we are no longer chained and bound to the plantations, begging massa not to beat or rape us.  Huh-uh, not gonna do it.

The irony of Rachel Mitchell questioning Blasey Ford about who paid for her polygraph and other legal fees when I don't remember anyone questioning Kavanaugh about his debts, specifically that $200,000 debt as well as who paid it.

And her lawyers shut it down fast.

 

The GOP is so blinkered that they can't conceive of this as anything but a game, so they rely on conspiracy theory questioning to play to the base. But it is playing horribly on TV. This is a complete wreck for them.

What a heart-wrenching day. We've been watching here at work and one of the women had to get up and leave the room in the middle of Dr. Ford's opening statement.

 

It's also bringing back memories of watching Anita Hill live on TV and how gut wrenching that was. The optics are almost worse IMO here. The angles of Mitchell with the men all behind and around her is horrid. I find her interrogating Dr. Ford and her agreeing to do this incredibly offensive in particular when she claims to be such a champion for victims.  But what's really bad is how Grassley has cut off the prosecutor he brought in repeatedly.
