Protesters Chug Beer Outside Mitch McConnell's House (Video)

WASHINGTON, DC -- A small group of protesters who appeared to be drinking beer out of cans and red Solo cups chanted outside of the D.C. home of Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to protest the upcoming vote to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The group gathered outside McConnell's home shortly before 8 a.m. and chanted "I like beer" and "What do we do with a drunken justice?"

NBC News reporter Kasie Hunt tweeted that people actually were drinking the Pabst Blue Ribbon in front of the house.

Kavanaugh has been hammered over allegations that he sexually assaulted multiple woman while drunk in high school and college. Kavanaugh testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee that while he drank a lot and still enjoyed beer, he never got "blackout" drunk.

Democrats argue that Kavanaugh's teenage drinking is relevant because it undermines his claim that he didn't sexually assault Christine Blasey Ford and others in high school and college. Kavanaugh famously repeated the phrase "I like beer" during his testimony last week.

The Senate will begin a round of voting at 10:30 a.m. EDT Friday on the Supreme Court confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh. A final vote could come Saturday, and Vice President Mike Pence will be in Washington in case he is needed to break a tie. Two Republican "no" votes could sink the nomination.

Three key Republicans — Jeff Flake of Arizona, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — remain undecided. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia also has yet to announce his position.

Republicans said they're confident an FBI investigation into the allegations of Ford unearthed no new corroborating details. But Democrats said the investigation was incomplete and that investigators didn't question some people who could have provided key information.

Kavanaugh, 53, angrily defended himself in hearings last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and acknowledged in an op-ed published Thursday in the Wall Street Journal that he became "very emotional" and "said a few things I should not have said,.

But he said he remains the same "hardworking, even-keeled" person he has always been. "Going forward, you can count on me," he wrote in The Wall Street Journal.
