Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) announced he would be voting “yes” on Brett Kavanaugh this morning in the Senate Judiciary Committee to move Kavanaugh’s nomination forward to the full Senate, where the Republican-led majority will likely swiftly vote to confirm. To say it is a slap in the face to millions of women nationwide is an understatement. Some women caught up to him as he boarded the Senate elevator on the way to the committee to cast his vote. What happened next was absolutely gut-wrenching, raw and real as two of them absolutely shredded the cowardly Flake as he barely made eye contact, repeatedly trying to close the elevator door on them.
As long as they move this nomination forward, we don’t matter.
