'Look at me': Women confront Flake on Kavanaugh support
WASHINGTON (AP) — Moments after pivotal Sen. Jeff Flake announced his support for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the Arizona Republican was confronted with the consequences.
Two women cornered Flake as he got on an elevator Friday, pleading for him to reconsider his support for the appeals court judge who's been accused of sexual assault when he was a teenager. The raw, emotional moment was caught on television, capturing the charged atmosphere in the Capitol as a lifetime appointment to the nation's highest court hangs in the balance.
"Look at me and tell me that it doesn't matter what happened to me," said 23-year-old Maria Gallagher.
