Anti-Kavanaugh protesters air Trump’s 'Access Hollywood' tape outside Capitol
The Hill ^ | October 4, 2018 | Aris Folley

A women's rights group placed a massive movie screen outside the Capitol on Thursday, airing the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape in which President Trump brags on a hot mic about groping and kissing women without their consent.

The group, UltraViolet Action, told HuffPost in a statement that it plans to air the tape in a continuous loop for over 12 hours to remind the Senate that Trump is “a self-professed serial sexual abuser attempting to elevate another sexual abuser ― Brett Kavanaugh ― into high office.”

“The video explains that the Republican party is providing cover for men with histories of sexual assault, from Trump to Roy Moore and now Kavanaugh,” the group said, adding that they are urging senators to reject Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court “because the majority of the public believes survivors and will be voting in November.”

This is going to be going on for the next 12 hours, courtesy of @UltraViolet pic.twitter.com/GD8V801nrp — Alex Gangitano (@AlexGangitano) October 4, 2018 The liberal super PAC American Bridge 21st Century also told HuffPost that it plans to play a continuous loop of the tape outside the Trump International Hotel in Washington later on Thursday.

“We are playing this disgusting audio as a reminder that no sham partisan event or hollow speeches can erase Donald Trump’s admitted history of assaulting and demeaning women,” Harrell Kirstein, a spokesperson for the PAC, said in the statement.

“This week, as they toast Donald Trump and his callous administration his own awful words will be playing in the back of their mind over and over again,” the statement continued.

The protest comes a day after progressive and women's groups coordinated 300 candlelit vigils across the U.S. to demonstrate opposition to Trump's Supreme Court nominee as he continues to face controversy surrounding multiple sexual assault allegations brought against him.

Kavanaugh's nomination is likely to get a vote from the full Senate later this week following the release of an FBI report on the sexual misconduct allegations against him that Republicans say offered no corroborative evidence to back the claims.

The country is at war. Kavanaugh is just one front of the war.

He will be confirmed, and the radical left will cause big trouble for 2 days. They need to be put in jail for the rest of their lives.

Will they all get their cycle at the same time Kavanaugh is sworn in?

play the video five times. Maybe they’ll learn something. If a man is rich, women will throw themselves at him. Panties on the stage, in the hopes of getting some of that cash for themselves. One needs only to look around Hollywood and all the old actors (Clooney cough cough) with trophy wives for the proof. Why what Trump said was any kind of surprise to the snowflakes, who promote free-love and irresponsible sex on a daily basis, is the most amazing part of the whole story.

A male caller to WRKO Jeff Kuhner program said that the Judge Kavanaugh controversy broke up an eight year relationship with his girlfriend. He was really heartbroken but it is too bad that he didn’t find out about her much earlier. But on the other hand it was better than marrying, having a couple of kids and then going through a divorce. You know what—this is my Dear Abby moment...it is a good idea to discuss politics with your girl friend or boy friend because then you can find out some really important things about how he/she thinks. Discussing politics brings out people’s value system. I think people can cover up their deeply held beliefs by the kind of small talk that is socially acceptable. But when you get into politics you are really taking a look inside a person’s mind.

That is excellent advice for any young couple contemplating marriage. When my wife and I were dating almost 40 years ago, we didn’t discuss politics much, but we are completely on the same page politically. Back when we were starting out, politics was way down on a compatibility list. Today it must be near the top.

Do they end the tape before DJT says “ When you are a celebrity they let you?” I wouldn’t be surprised if the tape they are looping is edited.

I doubt that they continue the tape through the walk after they meet the woman leading them to the meeting. Billy Bush keeps trying to get Trump close to the woman but he continually moves to be a respectful distance from her.
