WASHINGTON — Moments after Jeff Flake announced his support for Brett Kavanaugh, he was confronted with one of the consequences. Two women cornered him as he got on an elevator Friday, pleading for him to reconsider his support for the Supreme Court nominee accused of sexual assault. “Look at me and tell me that it doesn’t matter what happened to me,” said 23-year-old Maria Gallagher. “On Monday, I stood in front of your office,” Ana Maria Archila, co-executive director of the non-profit Center for Popular Democracy Action, told Flake. She said: “Don’t look away from me.”Flake, cornered in the elevator, shifted between looking at them and looking down.
