OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – The polarizing hearing of Supreme Court Justice Nominee Brett Kavanaugh has extended its reach to northeastern Wisconsin.
Supporters of the alleged victims, which includes Dr. Christine Blasey Ford who spoke to a Senate judiciary committee, gathered in Oshkosh on Thursday to ask Senator Ron Johnson to vote against the Kavanaugh nomination.
Rally organizer Lisa Hansen believes the alleged victims have a number of legitimate reasons why they waited to come forward with their allegations.
“Fear of retaliation, fear of being made to look a certain way,” she says.
Not everyone gathered on Thursday held that same opinion, though.
Mark Lee from Oshkosh believes the alleged victims should have come forward right away.
“Not come out when the guy is trying to get elected for a job,” he explains. “If they were going to do that, they should have done it when it happened.”
Republican Senator Ron Johnson has publicly supported the Kavanaugh nomination, while Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin has publicly done just the opposite.
