Protesters called for Flake to reject Kavanaugh's nomination, just days after the Arizona Republican called for the Senate to delay a floor vote on Kavanaugh in order to let the FBI investigate sexual assault allegations against the nominee.

Demonstrators held signs that read "#Stop Kavanaugh" and "Roe Yes, Kava No," The Boston Herald reported.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the protest — billed as a “rally standing with survivors of sexual assault” — was organized by NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts, the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and others.

"I’ve been asked to not come off as outraged or angry for fear of being labeled as an angry black woman," Pressley, a Boston city councilwoman who is running to represent Massachusetts's 7th Congressional District, told the crowd. "Well I am angry. I am outraged, because this is outrageous."

Markey said the FBI probe should not be hindered by any limits, according to the Herald.

Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused him of sexually assaulting her at a high school gathering in 1982, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week.

Kavanaugh has fiercely denied her accusation. He has also denied allegations of sexual misconduct from two other women, Julie Swetnick and Deborah Ramirez.

A Senate vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation has been delayed until Friday, though it could come early if the FBI concludes its investigation before then.
