Christine Blasey Ford nom. for Profiles in Courage award

[WOT?*]

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) announced she is nominating Dr. Christine Blasey Ford ― the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, for a distinguished honor usually reserved for public officials.


Speier mentioned Ford’s nomination for the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award on Twitter on Monday night. The Profile in Courage Award was created in 1989 by Kennedy’s family to honor the late president and “recognize and celebrate the quality of political courage that he admired most,” according to the award website.


“Nominating Dr. Christine Blasey Ford ― a true American (s)hero who sacrificed so much to do what was right for our country and for the pursuit of truth of justice ― for this year’s Profiles in Courage Award,” Speier wrote. “She is an inspiration to us all.”


Past recipients of the Profile in Courage Award include former President Barack Obama, former President Gerald Ford and former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.).
