JORGE RAMOS, SENIOR ANCHOR, UNIVISION: Ana Maria Archila, the confrontation you had with Senator Flake did not change his vote, but- why do you do it? Why is it important to do it?

ANA MARIA ARCHILA: I do it because I’m really thinking about my daughter and my son. I do it because in reality, the stories that are coming out in solidarity with Dr. Ford are creating a new awareness. They’re forcing the country to confront the reality that, at this time, we are still allow men to violate women. And we are allowing someone who has been charged with to have the responsibility of oversee justice for this country. I truly had my hope placed in Senator Flake. I thought that he was someone who could truly vote his conscience and not just vote for his party.

JORGE RAMOS: The last word, Ana Maria Archila.

ANA MARIA ARCHILA: President Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh because Brett Kavanaugh is willing to destroy the right to an abortion, to destroy the healthcare system, and to violate workers’ rights. And now that he’s been charged with sexual abuse, President Trump has decided that his political agenda is more important than having someone with integrity on the Supreme Court and that’s why we women must go out and show the country that we are no longer willing to tolerate this treatment.
