Palo Alto to honor Christine Blasey Ford with proclamation
Mayor praises local resident for inspiring other victims of sexual assault to come forward
by Gennady Sheyner / Palo Alto Weekly
Christine Blasey Ford, a Palo Alto resident whose allegation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has sparked an FBI investigation that has thrown his nomination into doubt, will receive a special proclamation from the City Council, Mayor Liz Kniss said Monday night.
Ford, a Palo Alto resident who last week testified along with Kavanaugh in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, reportedly left the city because of threats shortly after media reports came out identifying her as the author of a letter that contained allegations against Kavanaugh. Ford testified last week that she had given the letter to her congresswoman, U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, who in turn handed it over to U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a member of the Judiciary Committee.
