Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Friday said that the U.S. Senate will be not be intimidated by "paid protesters" in its quest to vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
"Our vote today was important not only because it will allow us to move forward and conclude this process," Cornyn said on the Senate floor after the chamber voted in favor of ending debate on Kavanaugh's nomination. "It was important because it showed that the U.S. Senate will not be intimidated.
"We will not be bullied by the screams of paid protesters and name-calling by the mob."
The line from Cornyn echoed a similar comment President Trump made earlier on Friday as he railed against those who protested against Kavanaugh.
"The very rude elevator screamers are paid professionals only looking to make Senators look bad. Don’t fall for it!" Trump tweeted, before claiming that billionaire liberal activist George Soros is among those funding the demonstrations against the judge.
The very rude elevator screamers are paid professionals only looking to make Senators look bad. Don’t fall for it! Also, look at all of the professionally made identical signs. Paid for by Soros and others. These are not signs made in the basement from love! #Troublemakers
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 5, 2018 The attacks from Trump and GOP senators such as Cornyn came as the confirmation process for Kavanaugh nears its conclusion.
The Senate on Friday voted 51-49 to advance an up-or-down vote on the Supreme Court pick.
The vote will occur just over a week after Kavanaugh and Chrstine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding Ford's claims that he sexually assaulted her at a high school party in the 1980s.
Kavanaugh has fiercely denied the accusation. He's also denied sexual misconduct allegations from two other women, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick.
With the confirmation process nearing its end, hundreds of protestors have descended on Senate office building to urge senators to vote "no" on Kavanaugh.
More than 300 people were arrested by Capitol Police on Thursday at multiple Senate Office buildings.
GRAB ONE OF THEM AND FOLLOW THE MONEY!
It’s The Democrat Thug Party
Looks like Trump has given the GOP in the hill some balls by sheer osmosis !
Soros paid much bucks...
Arrest then and hold them in a semi open air facility for a week or two , while being processed for conspiracy to riot and trespass on Federal property. Hefty fines .
The money comes from george soros, an ugly old hag who hates this country and who should be thrown in jail.
Oh my, President Trump got ALL of their family jewels out if the lock box!
Soros. Should do something about him, and follow his money, then do something about ALL the recipients. Nothing short of SEDITION, if not TREASON. Bloomberg too.
Its the Communist Party..the party of JFK and even the party of Bill Clinton is dead..now they are the jew hating, communist party
As someone mentioned the other day, we’re seeing America’s cultural revolution.
The mass brainwashing coupled with instant technology are giving rise to these dangerous flash mobs. Coordinated and directed by the O’muslim-soros shadow coup. Thank goodness we have an active AG.../maj sarc.
Agreed
All I hear on Hannity is shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, look at us, look at us, look at us, look at us, look at us, look at us, shame on you, shame on you, shame on you, shame on you, shame on you, shame on you, shame on you, shame on you...
Bunch of women and their stupid chants, because they cannot think a single original thought.
Pathetic.
He deserves more than that.
I'd prefer to see him extradited to Malaysia, given a proper trial and hanging.
Reminds me of the flying monkeys sent out by the wicked witch in the movie "Wizard of Oz". Except they're not after Dorothy, they want to bring down President Trump and ruin our future. Damn Soros and his lack minions!
