GOP senator snubs assault survivors: 'I know this is enjoyable to y'all'

By Emily Crockett - October 1, 2018

No, it's not 'enjoyable' to have to convince a bunch of conservative men that it's a bad idea to put a likely sexual predator on the Supreme Court.

When two sexual assault survivors confronted Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) in an airport hallway about Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, Corker was polite at first.

But after a minute or so of questions, the mask slipped — and Corker revealed an ugly contempt for women who don’t want him to confirm an alleged sexual predator to the highest court in the land.

“I know y’all are having — I know this is enjoyable for y’all,” Corker said sarcastically, after being asked whether he thought a limited, week-long FBI investigation into new sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh would be “enough” for women and survivors.

Corker’s dismissive comment didn’t go over well.

“It’s not enjoyable,” one of the women replied. “It is not fun for us to tell our stories.”

“This is not enjoyable, this is our lives,” the other said. “I’m a survivor of sexual assault.”
