Has anyone else noticed that it wasn't until it was a Latina, a Puerto Rican woman revealed wrongdoing by Brett Kavanaugh that Trump decided to go on the attack? I wonder if that's because he and Republicans figure they might pay some price by attacking a White Woman but that they won't if they attack Women who aren't white? That's the way that racist Republicans think. Or is it just as so many New Yorkers of his generation, he hates Puerto Ricans? I wonder if Kavanaugh and his piggish boy pack at Yale targeted Deborah Ramirez because of her ethnicity and that she wasn't a rich kid like they were.
I absolutely believe both of the named accusers at this point, seeing what they've faced and obviously knew they were going to face by coming forward. I expect that by the end of the day there will be another Woman who bravely comes forward to expose Kavanaugh and his carefree boy-bonding days, confident that he could humiliate and attack women with other rich brat-boys without there being any time in the future when it would come back on them.
That's the reason that this is important for young girls and others. If teenage boys know that their crimes against girls could come back on them, that there is no privilege that protects them when they attack women, robbing them of their lives, it might make them not do it. Maybe Trump wouldn't have assaulted women if he knew he might pay a price for it someday. Today would be a good day for him to start paying up on that debt.
Update: Thanks for the correction, that one was me on automatic, Rodriguez is the name of one of my in-laws. I typed it automatically.
