Book: Kavanaugh accuser's attack ‘motivated’ by defending Roe v. Wade
Christine Blasey Ford and her feminist attorney were “motivated” in their attack on then-federal judge Brett Kavanaugh by their passion to protect abortion rights, not just their “civic duty” to provide information to senators considering his nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a new investigative book about the hearings last year.
In Search and Destroy: Inside the Campaign Against Brett Kavanaugh , National Law Journal’s Ryan Lovelace revealed Ford and attorney Debra Katz leveled charges of sexual misconduct in hopes of eventually tainting decisions by Kavanaugh on abortion.
What’s more, he wrote, they worked overtime to orchestrate their explosive charges, heatedly denied by Kavanaugh, to land at the end of the confirmation hearings in a bid to derail President Trump’s second pick to the high court.
Over 256 pages, Lovelace detailed a campaign to sabotage the Kavanaugh confirmation and how his accusers traded charges “up the chain” through the media and sympathetic Senate Democrats.
