During a press conference today, Senator Masie Hirono shoved Senator Richard Blumenthal out of the way so that she could be heard. And heard she was. She stepped up and pointed out that what the White House is doing right now is victimizing Dr. Ford. Throwing down a challenge to the press, she said, "Why don't we get that out there, why should we participate in a victimization of someone who has the courage to come forward, and she is under absolutely no obligation to participate in a smearing of her and her family." "I expect the members of the press to talk about how unfair this all is," she continued.
