@benshapiro @LisaMarieBoothe Hello,

Please let me say at the outset, I'm a Christian white man. I'm also a life-long Republican. Those three distinctions will likely dissuade many from hearing anything I'd have to say on this matter. With that stated, Mr. Shapiro is correct. 1/
@benshapiro @LisaMarieBoothe I'd like to state some further things about myself. I'm the husband of a wonderful wife, who herself is a survivor of rape, physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. Moreover, I'm the father of two adult daughters & the grandfather of a beautiful granddaughter. 2/
@benshapiro @LisaMarieBoothe Furthermore, my youngest daughter suffered statutory rape. Therefore, I'm quite sympathetic to the allegation made by Professor Ford & have stated from the outset my desire to have her come forward to testify under oath. 3/
@benshapiro @LisaMarieBoothe I want to hear what she has to say about this alleged incident.

Another factor in my overall perception of this allegation from my personal life is I, myself, was falsely accused of abusing my own children by my now ex-wife. 4/
@benshapiro @LisaMarieBoothe My then wife lied to me about making the accusation. She emailed school officials & teachers in advance of DCF involvement to poison the proverbial well against me. Once DCF actually did get involved & did an impartial investigation, 5/
@benshapiro @LisaMarieBoothe her allegation was proven wholly unsubstantiated & false.

The law needs to be equally applied regardless of gender, race/ethnicity, religion (or lack of it), or any other distinction or it is no protection for any of us. 6/
@benshapiro @LisaMarieBoothe I would like to state, Judge Kavanaugh has rights of due process (14th A), being able to face his accuser (6th A), & presumption of innocence (Coffin v. United States - 1895) confirmed this widely held notion of law, though it was not explicitly stated in the Constitution. 7/
@benshapiro @LisaMarieBoothe I'm tired of being denigrated, disrespected, & my views dismissed as irrelevant by gender association because I'm a man. I'm tired of being denigrated, disrespected, & my views dismissed as irrelevant by ethic/racial association because I'm caucasian (i.e., white). 8/
@benshapiro @LisaMarieBoothe I'm tired of being denigrated, disrespected, & my views dismissed as irrelevant by religious association because I'm a Christian. End.
