Ford didn’t report the alleged assault at the time. And?

There is a lot to unpack, if one is so inclined, in the sexual assault allegation raised by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

And mostly, I’m not. Inclined, that is. These are precisely the sorts of events that generate endless blow-by-blow nonsense that I’m no longer interested in consuming.

There is one critical point I want to raise, however. That Ford apparently did not report this assault at the time she said it occurred should have no bearing whatsoever on the validity of her claim.

The allegation should absolutely be investigated, and as I type Ford is to testify on Thursday. But saying “well, she didn’t report it” as if that establishes anything meaningful is asinine. Please make sure you’re standing somewhere other than there as you argue your viewpoint.
