While some women had gathered to support the Kavanaugh nomination, videos and photos of the protests told a different story. “I just feel so impotent and outraged,” Yale Law grad Amanda Wise told The Hill. “November is coming,” chanted others, after breaching a police barrier to gain access to the Capitol steps.

Women also continued sharing their own harrowing stories about being victims of sexual assault.

In a statement on Saturday, Kavanaugh’s second accuser, Debbie Ramirez, said the senators supporting her alleged attacker have made her feel like she’s “right back at Yale,” where Kavanaugh allegedly exposed himself to her during a dorm party when the two were classmates.

“Thirty-five years ago, the other students in the room chose to laugh and look the other way as sexual violence was perpetrated on me by Brett Kavanaugh. As I watch many of the Senators speak and vote on the floor of the Senate I feel like I’m right back at Yale where half the room is laughing and looking the other way. Only this time, instead of drunk college kids, it is US Senators who are deliberately ignoring his behavior,” Ramirez said. “This is how victims are isolated and silenced.”

She added that witnesses could corroborate her allegations, but the FBI never interviewed them.

The final Senate vote on Kavanaugh is expected on Saturday afternoon.
