These are valid points. There is definitely a double standard. To me he came across as a guy trying to defend his family. He was very angry. Had HRC defended her family similarly, she would have been considered “unhinged,” at best. I thought Dr. Ford was awesome. Took a lot of courage to do what she did. I imagine that this moment had already defined much of her internal life, now it will certainly define her external life too. That’s a hell of a burden. She’s remarkable.

It’s easy to forget that this is a job interview. It’s clear he didn’t pass. Can’t we find a better candidate?
