(We will see more chaos to come for sure. Washington and Oregon deserve the chaos, they keep voting for Democrats.)

The nation’s capital was hard to recognize on Inauguration Day this year. In response to the Capitol Hill siege on Jan. 6, thousands of police and National Guard troops were sent on the streets of Washington, DC, where they manned checkpoints and set up barriers.

The predicted right-wing violence by Trump supporters never materialized. Joe Biden’s inauguration went off without a hitch. But in the Pacific Northwest, Antifa had other plans.

'Rise up, women!': Angry crowds flood Capitol Hill to protest Brett Kavanaugh nomination

WASHINGTON – In a full-day of demonstrations on Capitol Hill, hundreds of mostly women protesters raised fists and shouted "Lock Him Up" in front of the Supreme Court, unfurled banners inside a Senate office building and even blocked a Senate elevator door to directly confront Sen. Jeff Flake on live TV.

Angry protesters marched and shouted in, around and through the marbled buildings that dot Capitol Hill even as members of the Senate Judiciary were gingerly advancing the controversial nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the full Senate for a vote next week.

Arrests were plentiful. Some for blocking hallways, others for unfurling banners reading "Withdraw Kavanaugh. No Abusees on the Supreme Court" from the upper floors of the Hart Senate Office Building.

In the Dirksen Senate Office Building, police hauled off several protesters in plastic cuffs.

Over at the Hart Senate Office building, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, her voice choked with tears, gave a fiery speech to protesters, charging that the Republican-dominated committee's push to confirm Kavanaugh quickly represented a "fundamental disrespect of women."

“This is 11 men deciding that women have no right to be treated with respect, and we say, 'Rise up, women!' " she said.

In the Senate elevator confrontation, the two women implored Flake while standing in the door, blocking it from closing. Throughout the ordeal, Flake largely avoided eye contact with the women, saying he had to get to the Senate meeting.

"Don't look away from me," Gallagher shouted. "Look at me and tell me that it doesn't matter what happened to me."

The confrontation played out live on CNN as Flake's staffer gently tried to defuse the situation and a reporter tried to coax a response from the senator.

In the hallway of the Dirksen building, meanwhile, kneeling protesters began using whistles to create a cacophonous noise, chanting “November is coming!” and “Shame!”

Darius Gordon, a National field organizer for the Center for Popular Democracy, said Friday's arrests send an important message – that "folks are not just willing to lay down and let things go smoothly."
