WASHINGTON — (WMAL) Protest by video projector has really become a thing in Washington.
Imitating a method adopted by demonstrators outside D.C.’s Trump International Hotel over the past year, members of the national women’s advocacy group UltraViolet set up a projector outside the federal courthouse where Judge Brett Kavanaugh works on Tuesday evening, and projected a scrolling message accusing of Kavanaugh of being a sexual predator and of lying during his nomination hearings for the U.S. Supreme Court.
The messages appeared above the courthouse’s front door for about 30 minutes. Organizers of the protest had originally planned to project the messages on the U.S. Supreme Court, but moved to the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse after federal authorities learned of their plans, according to the Washington Post.
The visual protest comes two days before Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford are set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about Ford’s claims that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when the two were in high school in the early 1980’s.
Kavanaugh vehemently denies the allegations.
