Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin's campaign listed Brett Kavanaugh accuser's attorneys as headliners at a Washington fundraiser slated to take place next month, according to a copy of the invite obtained by CNN.Kavanaugh's accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, is being represented by attorneys Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, both of whom are listed as headliners in a "cocktails and conversation" event for Baldwin, a Wisconsin Democrat who is facing re-election this fall. People are asked to contribute up to $1,000 to attend the October 1 event, and a source familiar with the matter said it is slated to take place at their law firm Katz, Marshall & Banks.After CNN contacted the Baldwin campaign and the attorneys, Katz called CNN to say that the event was being canceled. The invite was sent Thursday morning, but a campaign spokesman called it an "old invite" scheduled before Ford's accusation became public.
"The short answer is this: We did a fundraiser for Sen. Baldwin six years ago when we ran for the Senate, we supported her then," Katz told CNN. "We are not going to be doing a fundraiser now. We're going to be focused on the issues involving the Kavanaugh confirmation process."
She declined to comment on whether Ford will attend a Monday hearing.
The timing comes at an awkward time as Ford is considering testifying Monday before the Senate Judiciary Committee and allege that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were in high school in the 1980s. Kavanaugh has denied the account, while some Republicans have questioned Ford's motivation for coming forward now. Ford's attorneys and friends have defended her as an honest person who is now facing death threats and is worried about the safety of her family as she grapples with the decision on whether to come before the Senate.
A Baldwin campaign spokesman confirmed the event was canceled.
"The event was scheduled before Dr. Ford made the allegations," the spokesman said. "Dr. Ford's lawyers are no longer involved in the event."Scheduled beforehand, but only cancelled after CNN looked into it.
And that Banks lady looks like a militant feminist of a certain variety . . . do I need to spell it out? Let's just say she looks like the veteran of a few womyn's music festivals.
I mean, she looks like she could easily pull a man's entire funpack right off his groin with her teeth and spit it in his face.
Come on, you can post a.pic here cant you? And how are attendees at a womyn's music festival of less value than other types of concertgoers? Do you mean the lesbian influences?
ReplyDeleteI thought about taking the time to do that. The link will take you there, though.
ReplyDeleteAnd quit sounding stupid with that crud about "less value." And um, regarding your very last question, draw your own conclusions.

ReplyDeleteI have no beef with them.
ReplyDeleteThey tend to be at the forefront of the Leftist agenda of trampling Western civilization. Like this person.
ReplyDeleteIt saddens me that you have become such an intolerant asshole.
ReplyDeleteAh, once again, the hard left shows that it has run out of gas by resorting to ad hominem attacks.
ReplyDeleteLook, militant feminists are showing their hand big-time in this situation. LITD has already discussed Senator Hirono's the-men-of-this-country-need-to-just-shut-up remark. Then there's Ana Marie Cox's statement that “we need to judge Brett Kavanaugh, not just by what he may or may not have done, but how he treats a woman’s pain.”
Then there's the Democrat party's rank hypocrisy. The lady in the Keith Ellison situation says she's been “smeared, threatened and isolated from my own party." And of course, Ted Kennedy was revered as "the Lion of the Senate."
This is about making sure that the dismemberment of unborn Americans is not interfered with. Because militant feminists resent their own uteruses.
All of those are wrong-headed, illogical and/or irrelevant but not personally demeaning, denigrating or demonizing positions. Too bad that was not the direction which you decided to take.
DeleteThey're chilling is what they are. The Left is trying to convince the general public that there is some kind of conscious self-identification of white straight Christian males as such and that they consciously have an agenda of keeping all other demographics under their thumb. That's a formula for completely fracturing society into irretrievable little shards.
