Sept. 28, 2018 Tweet - "To the women and survivors who are angry and dispirited right now: You have a right to your tears and frustration. But we can't give up. I'm not giving up.

Sept. 28, 2018 Tweet - "Dr. Ford welcomed an investigation, answered questions, took a polygraph, & remembered details--like seeing Mark Judge at the supermarket a few weeks later.

The laughter. Dr. Ford spoke for herself--but also for survivors across the country who are often ignored." Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 28, 2018 Tweet - "Dr. Ford shared her story yesterday because she felt it was her civic duty to share what she knew about Judge Kavanaugh to the people making the decision about whether or not he should be on our nation's highest court.

Sept. 28, 2018 Tweet - "Is the Senate a place where women are heard & respected? Or is it still just one more place where women's voices are ignored & undermined. People across the country are watching closely--and I am hoping that Senate GOP allow us to get these questions right. #BelieveSurvivors" Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 28, 2018 Tweet - "This is far from over. Judge Kavanaugh is not entitled to a seat on the Supreme Court. Keep fighting. Stand up for what you believe in. Make your voice heard." Sen. Patty Murray

Sept. 26, 2018 Tweet - "Recently I met a woman named Caitlin who told me about her experience being sexually assaulted. She said, 'I know going public with our stories opens us up to criticism.'

Sept. 26, 2018 Tweet - "When I was back home in WA state, I met a woman named Caitlin who told me about her experience being sexually assaulted.

Sept. 25, 2018 Tweet - "Senate Republicans are facing a key test right now: are they going to listen to women?

Sept. 23, 2018 Tweet - "After the bungled Anita Hill hearings in 1991, women everywhere--incl. me--were inspired to fight for change. If Republicans continue bullying Dr. Ford like we saw then, women across the US are going to rise up & Republicans are going to pay a huge price." Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 23, 2018 Tweet - "Witnessing the bullying of Dr. Ford reminds me so much of the mistreatment Anita Hill endured after bravely coming forward to share her story. I came into the US Senate because I didn't want to see another woman--or any survivor--treated that way again." Sen. Patty Murray
