Reagan's daughter defends Kavanaugh accuser: I was sexually assaulted and 'don't remember' details

Patti Davis, an author and the daughter of former President Ronald Reagan, on Friday came out in defense of Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who alleges that President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, sexually assaulted her.

Davis revealed in an op-ed for The Washington Post that her own experience with sexual assault has allowed her to understand why Ford did not immediately report the alleged incident, which she says occurred more than 30 years ago.

"I never told anyone for decades — not a friend, not a boyfriend, not a therapist, not my husband when I got married years later," Davis wrote. "It doesn’t surprise me one bit that for more than 30 years, Christine Blasey Ford didn’t talk about the assault she remembers, the one she accuses Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh of committing."

Davis also pushed back against criticism Ford has received for her lack of knowledge regarding specific details of the alleged assault, writing that it's "important to understand how memory works in a traumatic event."

Davis likened Ford's experience to her own, detailing an episode in which she said she was sexually assaulted 40 years ago by an unnamed man who she said was a prominent music executive.

2. I was so traumatized that I lost most of my vocabulary

for a couple of days. I couldn't remember simple words like tattoo, plaid, flannel, etc. My new hypervigilance had me waking up every couple of hours, forgetting things, even routines. I was useless during the physical and police interview.
