Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, protests against Kavanaugh’s nomination echoed through the halls of Congress again on Wednesday. Outside Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins’s office, police led protesters away in plastic handcuffs, as they chanted, “We believe survivors!”
Protesters: “We believe survivors! We believe survivors!”
Among those protesting on Capitol Hill Wednesday was actress Alyssa Milano, who responded to President Trump’s attacks on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford this week by saying for the first time that she, too, had been sexually assaulted—twice—as a teenager. In an essay for Vox, Milano wrote, “The courage of survivors will always be stronger than Donald Trump’s misogyny. The lives of survivors will always be more important than Brett Kavanaugh’s career.”
