The lawyer representing the woman who accuses Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of trying to rape her in the 1980s once vowed to 'resist' President Donald Trump, footage of the protest she attended has revealed.
Attorney Debra Katz, who represents Christine Blasey Ford, was interviewed on camera while attended the February 2017 rally in Washington DC to protest the confirmation of Jeff Sessions as attorney general.
'We are going to fight back,' she told a Good Morning America reporter. 'We are going to resist. We will not be silenced.'
Katz did not immediately respond to a message on Saturday seeking comment about the remarks from DailyMail.com.
'We are going to fight back,' Katz said in the above segment covering an anti-Trump rally in February 2017. 'We are going to resist. We will not be silenced.'

It is not the only time that Katz, who specializes in sexual harassment lawsuits, has associated herself with the anti-Trump 'resistance'.
'The resistance is not going away, says Katz, and she is committed to being part of it,' wrote a profiler for the University of Wisconsin Law School alumni magazine, the Gargoyle, in August.
'When I go to a march on behalf of Dreamers, I hear young people making connections between DACA and Islamophobia,' Katz told the magazine.
'I hope that energy continues, to retake our democracy that is truly at risk now,' she continued.
'To see students marching, protesting, and to see the response to Parkland, it all gives me hope.'
Katz, along with her partner in law Lisa Banks, were also scheduled to headline a fundraiser for Democrat Senator Tammy Baldwin next month, until CNN contacted them and they pulled out.

Katz and Banks have been thrust into the headlines this week as they have engaged in high-profile negotiations with the Senate Judiciary Committee over Ford's willingness to testify.
On Saturday, after days of delays, Ford's attorneys said that she wanted to appear next week, but insisted on more negotiations over the timing and the terms of her testimony.
Republicans made it clear they viewed Ford's offer as a way to delay voting on Trump's pick for the court.
A senior official at the White House told the AP that the letter amounted to 'an ask to continue 'negotiations' without committing to anything. It's a clever way to push off the vote Monday without committing to appear Wednesday.'
Ford has claimed that Kavanaugh drunkenly pinned her on a bed in a suburban Maryland home while they were both in high school, muffling her screams as he tried to remove her clothes before she ran away.
Kavanaugh has strenuously denied the allegation, and offered to testify before the Judiciary Committee on the matter at any time.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
