\n\u201cThis was extremely emotional, extremely raw, and extremely credible, Wallace as he offered his analysis of Ford\u2019s time in front of the committee. \u201cThis is a disaster for the Republicans. She obviously was traumatized by an event.\u201d
Wallace\u2019s colleague on the Fox News panel, Bret Baier, added that there was a stark difference between reading about Ford\u2019s allegations and hearing her testimony, calling the latter \u201ca totally different thing.\u201d
Ford\u2019s allegations focus on a high school party that both her and Kavanaugh attended while they were teenagers. At the party, Ford alleged that Kavanaugh and a friend, Mark Judge, made an attempt to force sexual intercourse on her. Ford described in the allegations that Kavanaugh covered her mouth during the attempt to prevent her from screaming, which prevented Ford from breathing and put her in fear for her life.

\u2018This was what terrified me the most, and has had the most lasting impact on my life, said Ford. \u201cIt was hard for me to breathe, and I thought that Brett was accidentally going to kill me.\u201d
While Ford feared she may be killed, she described the reaction from Kavanaugh and Judge as one of \u201cuproarious laughter between the two (Kavanaugh and Judge) and their having fun at my expense.\u201d
Ford was \u201cone hundred percent\u201d certain that the person behind those actions that night in 1982 was Kavanaugh. She revealed that to this day she still suffers from anxiety and claustrophobia due to the incident, as covered by the Inquisitr.
During the opening remarks at the hearing on Thursday, Ford made clear that she was \u201cterrified\u201d to be in attendance, while at the same time knowing that it was her \u201ccivic duty\u201d to put forth her testimony.
Kavanaugh has denied all allegations made against him and will be testifying himself later on Thursday. In the days leading to Ford\u2019s testimony, Kavanaugh has gotten the support of many prominent Republicans, none more so than President Donald Trump, who decried Ford\u2019s allegations as a smear campaign.<\/p>\n
