Sen. Jeff Flake was hailed as a hero Saturday by Judiciary Committee colleague Sen. Chris Coons at the Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park.
Flake took the stage at the festival, an MSNBC-televised music event that highlights education, poverty and preventable diseases, and spoke in praise of young people who are active participants in politics.
"So feel free to join me in an elevator any time," he said.
He was referring to an encounter in an elevator Friday with a sexual assault survivor who berated him for his decision to recommend Brett Kavanaugh to the full Senate for confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court.
