In Lyndsey Fifield’s world, Christine Blasey Ford was a politically motivated liar trying to destroy Brett Kavanaugh’s reputation. Now, she wants us to take her accusations seriously.

The morning after Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation for a seat on the Supreme Court, the New York Post, (a disgusting right-wing tabloid), wanted its readers to know “what women think” about the accusations of sexual assault that came up during the hearings. From the story: https://archive.is/kUiES
“Inez Stepman and Lindsey Fifield are two millennial women who co-founded the group Ladies for Kavanaugh to show their support for the nominee when they felt that view was being left out of the public discourse. Their day jobs are in conservative politics, Stepman at Independent Women’s Forum and Fifield at the Heritage Foundation. (Their pro-Kavanaugh group was formed on their own time.)

Fifeld and her pro-Kavanaugh friends had stayed quiet during the original hearings while liberal women raged in the streets and on social media. “But in the wake of the baseless, 11th-hour accusations orchestrated to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation, we couldn’t stay silent anymore,” Fifield said.

Yes, it’s 110% understandable for people to be outraged about Platner’s racism and misogyny.
But it’s not understandable how any Democrat, at this time, after all we’ve been through, could take the word of somebody like Lyndsey Fifield.
Anyone in the fight against racism and misogyny has to know that Lyndsey Fifield isn’t going to take you there where you want to go.
Here’s a sample from her blog at the right-wing Independent Women’s Forum.
Every time I bought Seventh Generation laundry soap, I supported a brand that smeared law enforcement and funded the extremely-corrupt and racially divisive BLM. https://www.independentwomen.com/2023/07/24/how-boycotting-woke-corporate-restored-my-dignity/

Etc.
Oh, and IWF talked about how proud they were for designing the talking points in support of Kavanaugh for Susan Collins. I would post the video but the last time I did that it was alerted and removed as using right wing smears. Go figure!
