I am one angry old broad and i am sending money I don't have to some campaigns and working for others, some not even in my district. These old boys need to take a hike along with some of the old guys on tv.

That, combined with a yes vote, would be damning.

“Do you think Brett Kavanaugh is able to hold the pain of this country and repair it? That is the work of Justice. That is the way that justice works: you recognize hurt, you take responsibility for it and you repair it....
You are allowing someone who is unwilling to take responsibility for his own actions to sit on the highest court of this country and have the role of repairing the harm that has been done in this country to many people.”

I love that woman. What a great way to say it.
