Refusing to let go of the contentious debate over accusations against now-seated Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, NBC host Megyn Kelly suggested on Tuesday morning that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford may have inflated her claim of sexual assault. Saying she doesn't want to be identified as a woman who doesn't believe other women who come from forward with claims that they have been assaulted, Kelly said something may have happened between Ford and Kavanaugh that was so minimal that the judge doesn't recall it.
“It could have been a case of mistaken identity,” Kelly said, once again floating the doppelganger theory of mistaken identity. “I do believe that’s possible, and you can look at Dr. Ford and say, ‘She just didn’t convince me, there were too many holes in her story, I didn’t find her credible,’ or you could believe something did happen between them and Christine Ford is remembering more than actually happened at the moment.”
According to Kelly - who practiced law before becoming a TV personality -- the GOP's designated prosecutor Rachel Mitchell seemed to be attempting to "prove that Dr. Ford was a little anxiety-ridden and she was sort of what we call in the law an eggshell plaintiff," during her brief opportunity to question the woman.
"So maybe something happened, but it wasn’t quite as bad as she [Ford] remembers and it was so minimal that Brett Kavanaugh doesn’t even remember it,” she attempted.
