Nassar victims on Kavanaugh confirmation: It ‘would invalidate my identity as a survivor’
Nassar victims on Kavanaugh confirmation: It ‘would invalidate my identity as a survivor’Last Thursday, millions of Americans watched Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee about one night in high school, when she alleges that current Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her during a house party.
Throughout the past 18 months, several Congressional committees — including the same Senate Judiciary Committee that questioned Kavanaugh last week — have been investigating sexual abuse within Olympic sports, including how USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University enabled the sexual predation by former doctor Larry Nassar for decades. The latest hearing is taking place on Wednesday, with three Olympic governing bodies testifying in front of the Senate about sexual abuse in their sports, all while the Kavanaugh vote is still pending.
For the handful of survivors who have already testified in front of Congress and watched them work together in a bipartisan nature to attempt to hold institutions accountable, witnessing the treatment of Dr. Ford by some of these same lawmakers has been extremely confusing, deflating, and even enraging.
