Sexual Assault

One woman said it happened at four,

One girl cried they called her a whore.

One fellow whispered he felt so much shame,

One guy just shrugged, It’s me who I blame.

One shared at twenty another eighty-five,

Inwardly scarred they’re just trying to survive.

It happened at school, at a party or a bar,

A dark deserted alley or the back of a car.

He told her don’t tell or he would surely be back,

Who would believe “her” that she was attacked.

Her skirt was too short, her blouse was too low,

There’s no one to help her; no one wants to know.

Story after story victims shed their deep grief,

Dr. Ford’s testimony has brought some relief

I stand and applaud her great courage this day,

For exposing sexual assault in her own personal way.

Yesterday the country, and quite possibly the world, was forced to listen to a woman describe being the victim of a brutal sexual assault.  There's no more denying that it occurs.

Kavanaugh went ballistic today at his hearing saying this whole thing was a right-wing conspiracy blah blah, Clinton blah blah blah, millions of dollars from the left blah blah blah …  He was angry and rude and made a fool of himself.

Senator Lindsey Graham went crazy during the Kavanaugh hearings today and was quoted as saying, "you're supposed to be Bill Cosby when you're a junior and senior in high school..."

Really???

Today was the hearing for Brett Kavanaugh on the Dr. Ford allegations of rape.  The Republicans brought in prosecutor Rachel Mitchell from Arizona to question Dr. Ford.  She then started to question Kavanaugh and he quickly got cornered by the experienced prosecutor and was pulled by the Republicans and not heard from again.
