Victims of sexual and domestic abuse are pushing the Senate to reject the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in the wake of allegations that he physically and sexually assaulted a woman when the two were in high school.
Ultraviolet Action, a group working to fight sexism in government, businesses and the media, said more than 1,600 survivors and their loves ones have signed onto a letter the group organized urging the Senate to “publicly commit to rejecting Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation.â€
Christine Blasey Ford, who went public with her accusations over the weekend after a confidential letter she sent Democratic lawmakers leaked to the press, told The Washington Post that Kavanaugh and a friend corralled her into a bedroom during a party in high school, pinned her down and groped her over her clothes.
