A mais recente capa da revista Time, que sai a 15 de outubro, eterniza o depoimento de Christine Blasey Ford aos senadores do Comité Judicial do Senado norte-americano, colocando foco nas suas declarações e no impacto que estas tiveram na construção da sua imagem perante o público e, talvez, perante as vozes de descredibilização das suas alegações.
Pode dizer-se que houve um 'antes do depoimento' de Ford e um 'depois do depoimento', sendo que até dentro da ala republicana houve quem definisse o testemunho da professora universitária de 51 anos como "credível".
"Não estou aqui hoje porque quero, estou aterrorizada. Estou aqui porque sinto que é o meu dever cívico contar-vos o que aconteceu comigo quando Brett Kavanaugh e eu frequentávamos o secundário", declarou Ford, na câmara alta do Congresso norte-americano.
Esta e outras declarações são utilizadas como os traços que desenham a fotografia de Ford, numa capa que já reúne elogios nas redes sociais, conforme mostra o Mashable.

When Dr. Christine Blasey Ford walked in to face the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 27, raised her right hand and swore to tell the truth, it was clear that an unassuming psychology professor and mother of two was about to change the course of current events in real time. “I am here today not because I want to be,” Ford said to Senators, who were prepared to assess her allegation that Judge Brett Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her some 36 years ago, a charge he vigorously denies. “I am terrified.” At stake was a potential lifetime appointment to the #SupremeCourt that could change decades of legal rulings and affect the nation’s faith in its judiciary. The hopes and fears of #women and men who have lived with the trauma of sexual violence were riding on the credibility of Ford’s testimony. By the time the hearing ended, Ford had done more than prove herself a credible witness. Women called into C-SPAN to tell their own, decades-old stories of harassment and rape. #WhyIDidntReport exploded on social media, a rallying cry for those who had never gone public about their own sexual assault until then. Ford’s testimony slowed the machinery of political power when it was fully in gear. An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released Oct. 3 found that 45% of respondents thought Ford was telling the truth, compared to 33% who believed Kavanaugh. That’s a marked shift from 1991, when Americans sided with Clarence Thomas after Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment. The facts remain unsettled, and Ford’s testimony may not prevent Kavanaugh’s confirmation. But it was a powerful warning that wealth, status and a record of professional accomplishments were no longer enough to override credible allegations of sexual assault, no matter when they occurred. To young #men, it was a message that drunken violence could shadow them. To victims, Ford’s testimony was an invitation to speak up, no matter how powerful the accused, no matter how long ago the attack. People will listen, the country seemed to reassure them.

Christine Blasey Ford, recorde-se, acusa Brett Kavanaugh de tentar violá-la durante uma festa em 1982, quando ambos frequentavam o ensino secundário. Kavanaugh nega categoricamente tais alegações.
Neste momento, a polícia federal norte-americana (FBI) investiga o caso, tendo até sexta-feira para apresentar conclusões, antes do processo de nomeação de Kavanaugh seguir para votação final.
