re: "Dr. Ford has indicated she doesn't want to fly, she is uncomfortable in confined spaces"

Two longtime friends of Ford's told CNN this week that she has previously described feeling uncomfortable -- even struggling -- when she is in enclosed spaces without an "escape route" or more than one exit door, and suggested that this discomfort stemmed from the alleged encounter with Kavanaugh.

I made a joke about this previously, but they REALLY ARE playing this shite as being caused by what she claims happened with Kavanaugh.

This may be a small lie, but it’s a lie.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a giant, outright lie made up by CNN (the part about it stemming from Kav).

Her other friends and college roommate have gone on record to say that she NEVER ONCE told them about this incident or anything like it. And here’s some other “anonymous friends” out of the woodwork that know about the incident AND that her claustrophobia supposedly stems from Kavanaugh sneaking teet 36 years ago? I’m calling bullshite.

How would this have come up in conversation with friends exactly? She’s an educated woman and presumably her friends are as well, you think she legitimately equated claustrophobia to a boob coup during high school in front of them and expected to be taken seriously?

It doesn’t even make logical sense. Yes, I know she was supposedly “pinned down” and hands honkered, but an event you cannot remember doesn’t lead to an innate phobia.. That’s not how this works.... that’s not how ANY of this works.

Now, could her friends know she’s claustrophobic? Absolutely, my friends know I’m afraid of heights and could easily answer that if questioned. I think this part MAY be true but is most likely exaggerated - she’s flown plenty of times, just based on her history and profession.

I think CNN added the Kavanaugh part to make it a “story” worthy of grabbing headlines associated with the Kavanaugh crucifixion and possibility to shape the narrative that much more. It wouldn’t be the first time.
