Why might Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford and the Democrats ask for a further delay in any hearings? Don’t be drinking anything when you read the latest reason:
Dr. Ford has indicated to Republicans she doesn't want to fly, in part revealing why she doesn't want the hearing to be on Monday https://t.co/dOKovgTLRU

From Politico:
GOP members of the Judiciary Committee held a conference call on Friday morning to discuss how to respond to the requests from Ford’s lawyers. But several elements of their offer appear to be nonstarters with Democrats and Ford’s camp, which had made clear that she could not be in the capital to testify before Thursday, according to a senior aide to the minority.
“They’re making this disingenuous counter-offer knowing she won’t be here,” the Democratic aide said.
The GOP has been told that Ford does not want to fly from her California home to Washington, according to the Republican senator, which means she may need to drive across the country to make the hearing.
OMG. However, in that case, the Republicans covered that:
Grassley said they would go to California so I’m not sure why this is an issue. https://t.co/d4jKpPiEDD

Grassley offered to come to her.

If Republicans bring that up Ford’s lawyer might come up with some other excuse.
Next she'll claim she can't testify because she's washing her hair that day.

This is a joke. This whole thing is a joke. Republicans should just confirm Kavanaugh and let the Democrats have a tantrum over it. Who cares at this point? https://t.co/t9ukRvPdX5

Then, just as she starts the car, she remembers she gets car sick and can't go. What a joke this has become! https://t.co/3KTWsAyYIH

She claims to fear for her safety so a cross-country drive should surely lessen the danger. https://t.co/rKU27dYm7o
