So Um… About That “Fear Of Flying” Thing… THAT Came Up

Can we take a moment to talk about this? Because I am SO frustrated:

Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell seems to be challenging Dr. Ford’s contention that she developed a fear of flying by pointing to a series of plane flights for work and vacation. pic.twitter.com/2CtPVvUNCk

Yes – this DOES matter. It’s all about credibility. She was OBVIOUSLY lying about this.

Why, exactly, did she lie?

Mitchell: How did you get to Washington, D.C., today?
Ford: On an airplane.
Mitchell: When were here in August, how did you get here?
Ford: On an airplane.
Mitchell: You’ve been to Hawaii and Tahiti?
Ford: Yes.
Mitchell: How’d you get there?
Ford: On an airplane.

UUUHMMMM.

Remember when she held this entire thing up and almost REFUSED TO COME because of her “fear of flying?!”

YEAH. THAT WAS BULLSH*T.

Establishing that Ford and her legal team lied about their reason for delaying her sworn testimony under oath. https://t.co/6g7MttdYSO

She flies a lot. Democrats claimed she couldn’t testify Monday out of fear of airplanes. That’s the point of that.

It was just an excuse to delay the hearing.

An excuse that REALLY cost her when it comes to credibility.

Because COME ON.
