from the story:
Still, Ford was reluctant to appear at a public hearing. She feared becoming the target of smears and threats.
I guess she wasn't concerned about the SMEARS and THREATS being piled on top of Brett Kavanaugh. Must be okay to smear someone you do not like politically, destroy his reputation, wreak havoc on his family, but don't do that to yourself..
Yep, she is some piece of work.... I hope she gets caught lying and is forced to admit it.... Worthless POS...
