I won't be lectured about majorities or electoral politics on the day #BrettKavanaugh was confirmed to #SCOTUS with the help of a goddamned Democrat.

I don't care where he's from or the demographics of his state. I don't care about any of that bullshit.

1/

He deserves some fire under his feet on the day he voted FOR a fucking lying racist rapist who is probably going to overturn ROE v. WADE and a host of other important pieces of legislation.

He could have called in sick.

He could have abstained.

2/

He could have stood on the Senate floor and said "I am casting this vote because my constituents have asked me to and I am their representative, but I personally strongly oppose this nominee, and support Professor Ford.

Instead he basically endorsed Collins speech.

3/

A speech that further victimized Professor Ford. A speech that made Kavanaugh into a victim.

All to support a man who a week ago called Democrats the enemy and accused the Clinton's of conspiracy.

All I am doing is staying facts about him. I'm also educating some.

4/

I'm getting people arguing that Manchin votes with Democrats 75, 80, and 90% of the time.

Not true.

Those numbers are closer to the level of support he gives Trump, which is 61% (sixty one percent) of the time.

Today of all days it's fucking ok to say it out loud.

5/

I get the politics of all of it, but I don't have to think it's great or celebrate it, and it's ok to not be ok with it and it's ok to say it and demand more from him.

#resist
#Kavanaugh

And stop calling me a fucking purist!

I deserve better than that.

He voted yes on Kavanaugh.
