Brett Kavanaugh's accuser gets all the attention, while Keith Ellison's gets none

If you know the name Christine Blasey Ford but not Karen Monahan, you must ask yourself, “Why?”

In the past few weeks, the nation has been transfixed on nearly every detail surrounding the confirmation process of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The week after the contentious hearings, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, indicated that she possessed a letter charging the nominee with sexual misconduct while a teenager in the early 1980s. Since then, and especially now that we know the accuser’s name, it’s been a literal he said/she said.
