Rebecca Hagelin: Why I Believe the Charges Against Kavanaugh Are False

This past weekend my comments expressing support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh and my disgust at how the far Left will stop at nothing to derail his confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court were included in an article in The New York Times.

Now I’m receiving emails from women who say they are rape victims and are aghast that I don’t believe Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations. They further accuse me of not supporting rape victims in general — a charge that is both cruel and made in ignorance. Although they provide no reasons why they believe Dr. Ford is credible and that Judge Kavanaugh is not, my letters responding to them detail my position.

As expected, new additional false allegations are being made against Mr Kavanaugh even as I write this. It's critical for everyone to understand that the far Left will go to any extreme to keep Judge Kavanaugh from being confirmed. I am angry that the very real issue of sexual assault is being used in such a clearly false manner. Such false charges not only destroy the lives and careers of the innocent, they sully the noble intent of the #MeToo movement, which is to achieve justice for women who are victims of heinous crimes.

For a nation that believes the guilty should be punished and that people are innocent until proven guilty, these gross attempts to derail justice are repugnant. My open letter below addresses the first false accuser, whom I view as fully discredited. Rest assured, other false accusers will continue to crawl out of the woodwork, because the Left is intent on creating chaos and transforming our nation into one big socialist cesspool. It’s time for decent Americans of both parties to call on the Senate to end the madness, the first step of which is to confirm Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Such a defeat of the Left will both set them back for many years and restore the constitutional law to American jurisprudence that protects each of us.
