“We believe Christine Blasey Ford. Brett Kavanaugh is a sexual predator, which wholly disqualifies him from holding any office in government, let alone the highest court in the country,” explains Shaunna Thomas, Executive Director and Co-founder of UltraViolet Action. ”Dr. Ford has demonstrated tremendous courage in coming forward and sharing her story of how Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her. Now is the time for Republicans in the Senate to make it clear that they believe women and find violence against women wholly unacceptable by publicly announcing their opposition to Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination. Anything less is a betrayal of women—one that voters will remember this November.”
