North Carolina Republicans use fake photo to imply Dr. Ford was too ugly to rape [View all]

The North Carolina Republican Party followed President Donald Trump’s lead in attacking Dr. Christine Blasey Ford for coming forward about an alleged sexual assault.

The News and Observer reported Thursday that Lanny Lancaster, Cabarrus County GOP chairman, shared a photo he said was Dr. Ford, posted by another account named Joseph Mannarino.

“This is the alleged sexual assault victim. Wow,” Lancaster said of a young woman in braces and large glasses.

The photo isn’t “the alleged sexual assault victim.”

Tuesday, Democratic congressional candidate Frank McNeill used a screen capture of the post in an e-mail noting the GOP attacked a sexual assault survivor.
