NEW: NY Times spoke to the women who confronted Jeff Flake in the elevator.

“I wanted him to feel my rage."

Sept. 28, 2018

...........

“On Monday, I stood in front of your office,” one of the women, Ana Maria Archila, forcefully told Senator Jeff Flake, Republican of Arizona. “I told the story of my sexual assault.”

Mr. Flake had just announced his intention on Friday morning to vote to confirm Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, despite emotional testimony a day earlier from Christine Blasey Ford, who had accused Judge Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

Reporters swarmed around as Mr. Flake waited in the elevator, but the two women interrupted and demanded that he listen.

Ms. Archila, a national committee member of the Working Families Party and an executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy, a New York-based liberal organizing group, said the moment had come together in a flash of righteous rage. She had spent the week in Washington protesting Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination, she said, and had just read about Mr. Flake’s decision when she saw him in a Capitol Hill hallway.

1. She may be what made him change his mind, and ask for the FBI investigation.

Every one of these privileged men should have to confront this everywhere they go.

2. It is just possible that Ms Archila saved her country today...

...she certainly made it a better place. Bless her, and every brave woman willing to tell the truth...
