Patty Murray on Kavanaugh: ‘I’m Reliving 1991’ and Anita Hill with GOP Saying ‘Don’t Worry, Go Back to Your Little House’

EXCERPT:

MURRAY: "I’m reliving 1991, where we are watching a woman come forward with a courageous story to do her civic duty, to let us know something about the man that may become a Supreme Court justice and feeling it’s so important we know about what happened to her. And a very powerful group of people on the other side who this time listened a little more respectfully, but at the end of the day, said, go away, don’t worry, go back to your little house. You’ll be fine. We’re going put this man on the court. So the deja Vu in me is saying more people are listening to you. We respect you. There are women on the court on the democratic side this time listening to you. But I think the result will be the same, that women will listen to this as I did back in 1991 and realize that elections matter. Who is in charge matters, and that today in this year in 2018, the year of the me too movement, we are not going to sit at home and be quiet and just let it happen. We’re not back to our houses. We’re not going tell our stories. We are going to tell our stories. We will be believed, and we will make this country into a place that we are proud of."
