If you didn’t get a chance to vote on the ‘New York Times’ Twitter poll, it’s too late. They yanked the poll on Thursday soon after it debuted.
Ford’s testimony began around 10:30 a.m. and was conducted in five-minute intervals. Each member of the Senate Judiciary Committee was allowed to ask questions or otherwise make comments for five minutes each. Most of the Republican Senators chose to yield their time to the professional prosecutor hired specifically for this hearing, who questioned Ford about the events surrounding the alleged assault.
The testimony she provided was a highly-watched event, and sparked many to share their own stories of sexual assault through social media and other channels, as reported by Inquisitr on Thursday.
“Do you find her testimony credible?” the poll asked, according to Politico. Users then had a choice between the options “Yes,” “No,” or “Unsure.”
“We’re sorry for this tweet. In retrospect, a Twitter poll is insensitive in light of the gravity of this hearing. We’ve deleted it.”
