Eddie Farnsworth Bravely Speaks Up for All Victims Named Eddie Farnsworth

by

At around 1:00 am on Tuesday morning, the 2019 Arizona legislature finally adjourned sine die, bringing to an end a contentious legislative session that stretched through most of May and included rare sessions on Memorial Day weekend. And the session ended much as it began, with controversy over the sexual abuse of children. And it ended with Eddie Farnsworth once again showing us who he truly is.

On Memorial Day, Farnsworth’s effort to thwart reform of the statute of limitations for civil suits by victims of childhood sexual abuse went down in defeat, but not before he whined, made offensive historical comparisons, and turned himself into the victim, joining the ranks of former legislator David Stringer, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and of course the president in the long line of powerful men who respond to challenges to their power by throwing a histrionic pity party for themselves.

The transformation of the GOP over the past two weeks has moved at remarkable speed.

President Trump went from declaring Christine Blasey Ford a “very fine woman” and “certainly a very credible witness” after she testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegation of sexual assault, to just days later using her as a prop at one of his Nuremberg campaign rallies, lying about her testimony and playing the privileged white male as victim card, to chants of “lock her up” from his personality cult of Trump. Trump mocks Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony, tells people to ‘think of your son’.

Trump and his enablers in the GOP then moved on to saying those who made ‘false statements’ about Kavanaugh ‘should be held liable’ and Saying Brett Kavanaugh Was ‘Caught Up In A Hoax’ And ‘Did Nothing Wrong’, to falsely saying Kavanaugh was ‘proven innocent’ at his swearing-in ceremony. The coup de grâce came when Trump apologized ‘on behalf of the nation’ to Kavanaugh “for the terrible pain and suffering” that he and his family endured during his confirmation process.

Not in my name!

In just two weeks, Brett Kavanaugh went from being credibly accused of sexual assault to the privileged white male victim of a hoax who should be able to exact retribution against his female accusers, according to the pussy-grabber-in-chief.
