Rick Wilson on Platner:

[AloeVera]

124. But not one woman claimed he ever hit, injured or bruised them!!

Even the Republican operatve - who btw I just found out formed a group called Ladies for Kavanaugh and helped craft the smears against Christine Ford - states that explicitly.

Imagine a woman who doesn't believe other women now expecting us to believe her? The irony. The nerve. And the thing is I might still believe her if she claimed anything I see as constituting abuse.

I'll trade your wooden stool for a broken wooden chair that left a permanent scar. Or....You could DM me and I will tell you about the damage - mental, emotional and physical - that a malignant narcissist leaves behind. Though I have to watch the triggers as you probably do too.

I do understand where the caution and warnings about Platner come from. Women especially have to be vigilant for any red flags. We diverge in our views about whether that vigilance is warranted here or if it's just republican f******.

I am sorry that abuse happened to you as well. No one can know what that feels like - the disbelief, betrayal, the world turning on its head - unless it's happened to them.
