In 2018, in the midst of a contentious Supreme Court confirmation battle, Christine Blasey Ford named Mark Judge as a witness to her alleged attempted rape over thirty years earlier at the hands of a teenaged Brett Kavanaugh.
Overnight, the unassuming writer, critic, videographer, and recovering alcoholic was unwillingly thrust into the national media spotlight. Reporters combed through Judge’s writings, pored over his high school yearbook, hounded him with emails and phone calls, and invaded the privacy of his relatives, friends, and former girlfriends. He was mauled in the press, denounced in the Senate, received threatening late-night calls, became the target of a classic honey trap, and was even called out by Matt Damon on Saturday Night Live.
As the lunacy reached its crescendo, Judge began to fear for his sanity⎯and even his life.
A year later, still traumatized by this Kafkaesque experience, Judge found himself washing dishes in a Maryland restaurant, trying to piece his shattered life back together.
His book is on Amazon.
Terrible interview. Why does Eric Metaxis continually interrupt Mark by saying I want to be absolutely clear on this for my audience’s sake. That tells me that he has no clue. I quit the podcast at about the 8 minute mark.
Mark Judge whines worse than a 5-year old.
Yes, he was treated badly by liberals. Who hasn’t been? Get over yourself, Mark.
You obviously don’t live in the US? This witch hunt was all the television talked about, the media and the left were pretty much hysterical. This guy was suddenly a pariah overnight. This will cause anyone trauma, but I’m sure living amongst liberals makes it hard to recover.
Mark Judge was very articulate in the interview. These events happened only 4 years ago
so we were ‘there’ to see them unfold. Thank you for the link, Kate.
This, I think, is along the same line as the Munk debate subject.
Having been in Dresden less than 2 months ago, I took the opportunity to visit the Stasi prison/ processing center Museum.
In some respects, it was more chilling than the Tuol Sleng prison of Cambodia. The latter was an eruption of evil, but the former was a slower imposition through the ‘banality of evil’. The Stasi prison is a chilling reminder of how we can slowly sleepwalk our way into political tyranny through accusation, innuendo, and the corrosive effects of public distrust.
And most of the plebeians are walking with a happy face.
This is what Canada wants, either for gun owners or e-bike owners. In Canada, the only difference between the left and the right is who they want to aim their goons at, and in Canada, they want the government to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, little do they know that they are all criminals now.
You can also buy the book at the “Canadian” store Chapters/Indigo. At least it’s better than buying from the American Amazon.
