Considering the poll numbers & the enormous outcry by the American People- their constituency, the absolute LEAST that the GOP Leadership (I'm talking about you, Mitch McConnell) is mandated to do is to pull the Kavanaugh nom once & for all. This is ridiculous. #VoteThemOut
2/His credibility issues aside, watching tape of Kavanaugh leaving the WH this afternoon, backing away from the gate, essentially hiding when he saw the crowd; that he needs security during CONFIRMATION, clearly indicates that he's in NO position to be deciding the rights of
3/ people who don't respect him, don't CHOOSE him. The old white guy GOP on @senjudiciary won't be around in ten years. The Women of America and all decent men are saying NO. We don't WANT Kavanaugh deciding the rights of our children and grandchildren. This needs to stop, NOW!
4/ And you know, regardless of the outcome of Kavanaugh's confirmation, whether he's SCOTUS or not, every single member of the GOP in the @USSenate & @senjudiciary are going to pay for this in the midterms now or in 2020. That you guys put Dr Ford and an entire GENDER through
5/ this special hell over Kavanaugh when you have a list of FIVE other potential candidates is unforgivable. Plain and simple, @GOPSenMajority you guys are done. You're not even going to keep the Senate this time. Done.
We're not going away. You are. @senjudiciary#VoteThemOut
