Today's senate hearing involving Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford has drawn the masses to TV screens across the nation, and has inspired survivors of sexual assault to come forward with their own stories.

And inside the chamber, actress Alyssa Milano, a leading figure in the #MeToo movement, was present at the hearing, and could be seen sitting behind Kavanaugh as he gave his opening statement.

Earlier on Thursday, the actress tweeted a photo from the hearing and expressed her support for Ford, who's accused Kavanaugh -- a nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court -- of sexually assaulting her at a gathering in 1982.
