“She had a good life and a successful career—and risked everything to send a warning in a moment of grave consequence,' Senator Kamala Harris wrote about Ford.
Time released its annual 100 Most Influential People list on Wednesday and actor Jessica Chastain criticized the decision to include both Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who accused him of sexual assault, Christine Blasey Ford.
McConnell credited Kavanaugh with having a “sterling academic record,” “impeccable legal credentials” and a record of “thoughtful and impartial jurisprudence.” The Senate majority leader said when “unhinged partisanship and special interests” tried to distract senators, other facets of Kavanaugh’s character shined through.
Ford was listed in the Icon category and Senator Kamala Harris wrote her profile. Harris also pointed to the confirmation hearing and said Ford’s testimony “shook Washington and the country.” She applauded Ford for her courage “in the face of those who wished to silence her,” which the senator credited with galvanizing Americans. Her courage, as Harris put it, also forced America to deal with the issue of sexual violence that has largely been ignored and “kept in the dark.
