Despite a long and controversial road that includes numerous allegations of sexual assault laid against him, it looks as though Judge Brett Kavanaugh is still in the running for the Supreme Court of the United States. Because of this, numerous Americans have been protesting today, including I Feel Pretty co-stars Amy Schumer and Emily Ratajkowski, who were both reportedly arrested earlier today.
The protests, which took place in Washington, D.C. earlier today (October 4) saw a number of people detained by local police. Prior to her own detainment, Schumer shared the following video for the daughter of one of her fellow protestors:
In another video, a cop asked Schumer if she wanted to be arrested, to which she replied, "yes."
Ratajkowski explained that she was also arrested with a post of her own:
Thousands of protestors gathered outside of Kavanaugh's workplace, the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse, before moving to the Hart Senate Office later in the day.
Schumer was quoted as saying, "No matter how this goes, they cannot keep us down.... We will win. A vote for Kavanaugh is a vote saying women don't matter."

Today I was arrested protesting the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, a man who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault. Men who hurt women can no longer be placed in positions of power. pic.twitter.com/nnwq1O4qk3
