Emily Ratajkowski & Amy Schumer Arrested at Protest

Emily Ratajkowski and Amy Schumer were among more than 300 people arrested on Thursday during protests over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.‏

Hundreds of protesters marched through Washington, DC as a public demonstration to challenge Kavanaugh’s nomination. This follows accusations towards Kavanaugh from three women of various forms of sexual misconduct.

The Trump administration state that they find  “no corroboration” of sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh. However, according to the BBC, Democrats voice that the five-day inquiry was “incomplete”. This was due to the White House limiting the investigation, BBC reports state.

Today I was arrested protesting the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, a man who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault. Men who hurt women can no longer be placed in positions of power. Kavanaugh’s confirmation as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is a message to women in this country that they do not matter. I demand a government that acknowledges, respects and supports women as much as it does men.

The Senate will carry out an official procedural vote on the nominee this Friday.Until then, the country will wait apprehensively to discover the outcome. Whether the result will support or invalidate the views of women is not yet clear.
