Sept. 23, 2018 Tweet - "The comments from President Trump and actions from Senate Republicans are exactly why women and men who have been sexually assaulted are afraid to speak up. If you need help, or someone to talk to, call the National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-HOPE" Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 23, 2018 Tweet - "I sense that again…People saying he's got the votes, we're just going to deal with this "hiccup.' That kind of conversation is what leads many people--women and men--saying they don't get it, particularly now in the #MeToo movement." #MTP" Sen. Patty Murray

Sept. 17, 2018 Tweet - "There is no urgency to fill this seat before October.
