“We believe survivors,” the crowd chanted, referencing the multiple women are accusing Kavanaugh of various degrees of sexual misconduct.
““Hi, I’d love to talk to you about Brett Kavanaugh tonight. I’m a constituent, love to know what your vote is going to be tonight. I know that you’re very close friends with Mr. Kavanaugh,” a woman asks Cruz, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, in a video posted by the group Smash Racism DC,
“Senator, I have a right to know what your position is on Brett Kavanaugh,” she added.
“God bless you, ma’am,” Cruz responded.
“Bless you as well, I really appreciate you,” the woman said. “I’m a survivor of sexual assault. I believe all survivors. There are now three people who have come forward and who have said that Brett Kavanaugh has attacked them. I know that you’re close friends with him. Could you talk to him about that? Could you talk to him about his position?”
Cruz left the restaurant amid the protests.
