WALSH: What A Credible Rape Allegation Looks Like

The buzzphrase of the week seems to be “credibly accused.” The Left says that Brett Kavanaugh has been “credibly accused” of sexual assault. The term is littered all over Twitter, where liberals have unanimously declared Christine Ford’s story “credible.”

Far be it for me to credibly accuse them of calling accusations credible for purely political reasons, but I’m not sure how else they could have arrived at that conclusion. When I look at the situation, I see a politically partisan accuser who never told anyone her story for 30 years and only went public after the accused was nominated for the Supreme Court. She doesn’t remember the date of the alleged crime, or even the exact year. She doesn’t remember exactly where it happened or how she ended up there. She says that she and the accused were both kids at the time and both drinking alcohol. Her story has changed at least once, and significantly, between the first time she brought it up in 2012 and now. This seems like a rather low bar for “credible.”
