Graffiti on Yale Campus Quotes Christine Blasey Ford on Kavanaugh
-----------------------------------------------------------------

And at Yale University, the words spoken by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford
during her historic Senate testimony last month were seen graffitied on
buildings around campus Monday. One quote from Dr. Blasey Ford-who
accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of attempted rape when she
was 15 and he was 17-could be seen on the Sterling Law Building, where
Kavanaugh once studied. Students tweeted photos of the quotes "I have
had to relive my trauma in front of the entire world" and "Indelible in
the hippocampus is the laughter…" The full quote from Dr. Blasey Ford's
testimony is "Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter, the
uproarious laughter between the two [men], and their having fun at my
expense." During the contentious confirmation battle for Brett
Kavanaugh, Yale Law students held protests and a sit-in at the school,
with many also going to D.C. to protest.
