Trump Lashes Out at Kavanaugh Protesters

Jeff Flake, where they shared with him their stories of sexual assault as part of an effort to get him to vote against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

A reporter observed a group of pro-Kavanaugh advocates with regalia from a large conservative lobby on Friday - hours after President Donald Trump complained on Twitter that the "elevator screamers" who confronted Sen.

"Also, look at all of the professionally made identical signs", he wrote. Paid for by Soros and others.

Trump was referring to college graduate Maria Gallagher and another friend who told Flake of the impact sexual assaults had on their lives last Friday while in an elevator. "These are not signs made in the basement from love!" Swetnick claimed Kavanaugh was involved in a series of "gang rapes" when he was in high school, but she offered no additional evidence or witnesses to support her allegations.

The procedural vote to start debate on Kavanaugh's nomination in the full Senate is set to take place at 10:30 a.m., which would clear the way for a final vote on Saturday afternoon. The protests that have gained the most media attention involve activists trapping Republican senators in elevators and questioning them about their vote on Kavanaugh.

Comedienne Amy Schumer and model Emily Ratajkowski posted on their Instagram accounts about how they were arrested while protesting. Moments later, Flake, much to the delight of his Democrat colleagues, called for a week's delay in Kavanaugh's vote to allow the FBI to investigate the allegations against him.

Kavanaugh has vigorously denied the accusations.
