Protesters blocked Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., from leaving in an elevator Friday morning after he announced he would vote to confirm embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Flake’s announcement comes one day after both Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, testified before Congress on allegations the former tried to rape the latter when they were both in high school.
