close friends. these women have the right to be heard. they have the right to be spreeted with respect. and i think one of the tragedies of what we have just gone through is christine ford wanted to have her allegations treated confident blis confidently. she did not want to testify in public. because someone leak ed the letter that she sent b, her whole life has been turned upside down. i think that was wrong and despicable. the one silver lining that i us hope will come from this is that more women will had press charges now when thefr assaulted. >> they don't report because people won't believe them. they will poke hole this is their story. the fact they didn't remember certain details, which we know
