I need to explain something that you don't understand. You have downplayed the events of last week and expressed your open belief that Dr. Ford is lying as part of a political hit against Trump. This is unforgivable.
When Dr. Ford stood in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, all of us with even a shred of human empathy and decency could see that Dr. Ford was telling her real truth, straight from the depths of her soul, in spite of the pain it caused, and the further trauma that she knew was coming. We are so, so painfully aware of the people close to us who have their own stories of sexual assault and the pain it causes them every day of their life. And it is impossible for me to watch the way the rethugs discounted her reality and bullied her on the stand for their own personal gain without seeing someone I love right up there next Dr. Ford. Clear as day. What they did to Dr. Ford, they did to my family too. When you post on Facebook that Dr. Ford's story is a Democratic hoax, you are broadcasting how you feel my family deserves to be treated loud and clear. Your feelings of contempt and superiority over our pain is shocking and bordering on sadism. In fact, the entire Republican party in 2018 seems to stand for sadism more than anything else.
Last week we crossed the Rubicon. The trauma done to my family by your people last week is deep. There is no way to repair the damage. To any of my remaining Republican friends and family: If you will not renounce the Republican party and personally apologize to my fiance and I for what you have created, you are not invited to my wedding next year. You are dead to me. Supporting the Republican party at this point is a personal transgression against me and my family.
