A group of women who went to Christine Blasey Ford’s high school are circulating a letter to show support for the woman who has alleged that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh tried to sexually assault her while they were in high school. “We believe Dr. Blasey Ford and are grateful that she came forward to tell her story,” says a draft letter from alumnae of Holton-Arms, a private girls school in Bethesda, Maryland. Ford had contacted Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) with a letter about Kavanaugh in July. Rumors of that letter were circling Capitol Hill in recent weeks, with Senate Judiciary Committee members pressing Feinstein to share details. Last week, Republicans attempted to push back on the growing crisis and show as much support for Kavanaugh as possible.
