Neither her father or her friend believed her. And this was the friend she sent someone to try to get her to change her story.
Via Daily Wire:
Brett Kavanaugh was accused of trying to rape Christine Blasey Ford at a party when she was 15 and he 17 sometime in the 1980s (she doesn’t remember what year). Ford said that the boozy party at a home near Columbia Country Club outside Washington, D.C., was attended by five people: herself, Kavanaugh, Mark Judge, Patrick Smyth, and Leland Keyser.
When the attempted rape accusation emerged during his Senate confirmation hearing on his nomination to join the Supreme Court, Kavanaugh “categorically and unequivocally” denied the allegation. Judge, a longtime friend of Kavanaugh’s, also denied the charge.
Smyth, meanwhile, said he never attended the party.
That left Keyser as the sole possible corroboration for Ford’s story. But through her attorneys, Keyser said at the time that she did not know Kavanaugh and had no memory of the party nor any attempted sexual assault, shattering Ford’s claim. The Washington Post, though, wrote in September 2018 that “she believes Ford’s assertions.”
