Senator Jeff Flake announced that he’d vote to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, prompting a group of protesters to surround him in an elevator, blocking any escape for several minutes.
The protesters, two of whom alleged to be a survivor of sexual assault, screamed at Flake, “What you are doing is allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit in the Supreme Court!”
“Don’t look away from me!” another lashed out. “Look at me and tell me that it doesn’t matter what happened to me, that you will let people like that go into the highest court of the land.”
Flake remained stoic, listening to the outburst and quietly suggesting he had to go while the protesters continued blocking the door from closing.

It has to be a hell of a disappointment for Democrats that a man in Flake, no fan of President Trump or his decisions by any stretch, still believes the right thing to go is cut through the noise and vote to confirm a qualified, honorable man.

Democratic Congresswoman Jackie Speier openly expressed that hope, claiming Flake looked “pained” as he watched Christine Blasey Ford testify.
“I watched their faces very closely,” Speier said. “And Sen. Flake, in particular, has looked very pained. He was pained during her testimony of what happened.”
Sure, it was painful. Nobody wants to hear a woman have to relay a story about sexual assault. But there’s also the reality that Ford has absolutely no proof that it happened, while Kavanaugh along with others allegedly in attendance denies it ever happened.
Thus, it is not a credible threat, leaving Senators to vote from a pure standpoint of qualifications.
“What I do know is that our system of justice affords a presumption of innocence to the accused, absent corroborating evidence,” Flake wrote in a statement. “I will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.”

When you’ve concocted stories, manipulated the American people, and burned the process to the ground the way Democrats have, even a guy like Flake sees through it.
Not to mention there are rumors that some Democrats could even break rank and vote in the affirmative.
Nice job, Democrats. Being so virulently anti-Trump that you manage to help the President get his pick for the Supreme Court seat is a terrific strategy so far.
If you think this was bad, what’s it going to be like when Trump gets to pick one more judge should another vacancy arise during his two terms?

This is theater (PROPAGANDA) brought to you and paid for by the likes of George Soros. They can no longer sell their stinking country and people killing leftist polices at the ballot box, so they think they are going to try and take power by paid for rioters whipping Americans into a frenzy to affect their agenda. This is just the start folks and make no mistake we are at war, history of Communist China, the Soviet Union and a dozen+ other countries directed by tyrants has shown we are in for some dark days here brought to you by communist elitist trying to take power here in the U.S..
Paid protesters, make them an offer to go away, odds are they will.
Flake has the right name, but he should replace Jeff with Yoyo. But it seems as if he has somehow stumbled onto doing the right thing. Security in the Senate seems a bit lax though if a mob of shrill loudmouths with manufactured memories can hold up an elevator in the seat of national government. Next it will be some lone wolf shrieking about God being a great guy.
Blocking him from leaving is called kidnapping, and is a felony, so why were they not arrested?
I hope Jeff Flake does not spill any of the thirty pieces of silver that the Democrats bought him with.
She may have had the experience, but there was ZERO EVIDENCE on WHO assaulted her.
There was an incredible amount of EVIDENCE, as well as over a hundred CHARACTER WITNESSES that have know Judge Kavanaugh for nearly his entire life that stated HE WOULD NEVER DO anything he was accused of.
She acted like she was trained in when to TURN ON THE TEARS, ans when to shut them off.
She lived in the area for YEARS after she got her drivers license, went from her home to the country club and never once recognized the house the assault supposedly occurred?
THAT IS A PROBLEM!
this group is gone totally crazy,,,,,,women was not believable , judge is going to be confirmed ,Thank God for Mr. Trump,,,,,
Pathetic!
For all of you ignorant communist democrats – you have done irreparable harm to yourselves and I can’t wait for the mid-terms to vote your azzes out of office.
