Liberty University students came out en masse in Washington, D.C., to show their support for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh amid Thursdays Senate hearing.
Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, one of three women who has accused him of sexual assault, are testifying in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
I just walked past a large group of pro-Kavanaugh demonstrators outside the Senate. Many looked like college kids. Lots of Make America Great Again hats, at least one Liberty University sweatshirt.

The students were encouraged on Wednesday by Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. to show their support after the university found out Yale University students were planning to protest Kavanaughs appointment.
I think the Republicans are going above and beyond giving the accuser the right to be heard, maybe more than they should, but I think they should be commended for hearing her out, for taking her seriously and delaying the process so she can be heard, said Falwell to students.

The student effort Thursday was facilitated by the Christian nonprofit womens group Concerned Women for America, who sponsored bus trips for 150 students from the Liberty campus in Lynchburg, Virginia, to Washington, D.C. Liberty University matched so a total of 300 students could go, though its unclear if that amount showed up.
Liberty University declined a request for comment about its role in facilitating the trip.
Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, said in a statement that enough is enough in efforts to delay Kavanaughs confirmation.

Senate Democrats continue to use dirty tricks, threats and lies to smear a decent man and delay the process of confirming Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, said Nance. His character continues to be praised by people of all walks of life who have known Judge Kavanaugh at various stages of his life. Lets not let a smear campaign by the left ruin a good mans character and hard work.
Nance also said that not confirming Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court would be failing the American people who elected President Trump for this very purpose and were fully aware of his potential nominees to our nations highest court.
Other pro-Kavanaugh individuals could be seen rallying outside the Senate hearing building on Thursday morning.
