Going on Facebook is a risky proposition now, as no matter your political persuasion, poorly researched (or wholly made up) claims and “memes” are likely to make many readers’ blood pressures rise.
At the center of this high pressure storm of the moment is Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and her claims that Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court who has been going through U.S. Senate hearings, pushed her down on a bed, tried to rip off her clothes and forced his hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming. This allegedly happened when they attended an elite prep high school decades ago.
There’s a lot to sort through in the allegations, the nomination and long time period between the alleged incident and the public charge. Misleading information on Facebook, much of it intentionally faked, isn’t helping.
