Women’s March on Kavanaugh Files Release: Cory Booker is a Patriot, Kavanaugh is a Lying Disaster
Washington, DC — Just hours after Women’s March leaders joined women from across the country to occupy Senator Chuck Grassley’s office in protest of the hundreds of thousands of missing Brett Kavanaugh files that the public was denied access to. Now, Senator Cory Booker has risked his position to release a glimpse of those files — giving the public a glimpse into the depth of Kavanaugh’s opposition to equal rights.
Bob Bland, Women’s March Co-President, released the following statement after leaving the sit-in at Senator Grassley’s office:
“Cory Booker is a patriot who joined the Kavanaugh resistance today by releasing these documents. They show that Brett Kavanaugh is not only a disaster, he is a lying disaster. Now, we demand the release of ALL of the secret Brett Kavanaugh files.
“Women will die if Kavanaugh is confirmed — as these documents show. He is deeply opposed to Roe, and a threat to all of us. Trump brought this fight to us, and just like Senator Booker, we’re going to ‘bring it’ in response.
“Senator Booker is modeling exactly what we expect of every member of the Senate: we need to stop Kavanaugh by any means necessary.”
Women’s March and Center for Popular Democracy Action have organized daily protests to #CancelKavanaugh. More than 150 women and allies have been arrested over the last three days voicing their distress over Kavanaugh and the threat he poses to America. Most were arrested for disrupting the hearings themselves, and more for occupying the offices of Senators who were not doing enough to halt the process.
