Reading the repulsive suggestion based on nothing by retired Wisconsin plastics manufacturer and Tea Party Senator Ron Johnson
that Dr. Christine Ford might be having 'false memories' reminds me of two other occasions when Johnson 'addressed' such issues with his trademark ignorance and callous disregard for victims:
* Johnson had actively opposed changes in Wisconsin law that would have made it easier for complaints to be made based on misconduct that had taken place during victims' childhoods.
* He did not notify the authorities when one of his staffers said she had been assaulted at a GOP fundraiser by a Republican state legislative leader. The legislator eventually resigned and pleaded guilty after more assaultive events were documented.
