Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Ak., one of the key swing Republican votes in the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, quietly hosted a closed-door meeting with a group of women that included sexual assault survivors — many of whom left the meeting in tears.
“Lisa Murkowski has been meeting with dozens of Alaskan women privately in her office today, including several sexual assault survivors,” MSNBC’s Capitol Hill correspondent Garrett Haake tweeted Thursday evening. “The last group of 18 just left, describing a very emotional, hour [-plus] meeting.”

Haake expounded on the meeting during an interview with host Chris Hayes later in the evening.
The report said that 10 of the 18 women in the meeting left Murkowski’s office “in tears."
“They described this incredibly emotional meeting and they made very clear to tell me they felt like the senator was really listening to them,” he said.
