Kavanaugh accuser Deborah Ramirez sends moving message of support to Blasey Ford ahead of hearing
It's going to be an emotional day for much of the country today, especially for Christine Blasey Ford.
Ford is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday morning about her alleged sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Prior to the hearing, one of Kavanaugh's other accusers, Deborah Ramirez, came forward with a powerful message of support for Ford.

"Thinking of you today, Christine," Ramirez said through her lawyer, John Clune. "They want us to feel alone and isolated but I’m there wrapping my arms around you and I hope you feel the people of this nation wrapping their arms around all of us. Holding you up in spirit."

Ramirez has alleged that Judge Kavanaugh exposed himself to her while drunk when they were both students at Yale University.
Both women's accusations have faced resistance from Senate Republicans. Only Ford will be testifying today before Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Senate is scheduled to vote on Kavanaugh Friday morning.
