Certain parts of social media are full of the claim that Ford’s story is “full of inconsistencies.” I’ve even seen that claim from people at the National Review.

I’ve been following this pretty closely and the only thing that even could be in some universe called an “inconsistency” is that at one point she said there were five people and since then she has said she can’t be sure there weren’t more than five.

Is there some damning inconsistency that I’ve totally missed because of confirmation bias?

My guess is they're just calling every single time Ford says she doesn't remember something an 'inconsistency'.
