Civics FTW? Protester who disrupted the Kavanaugh hearing said one word that made GOP Sen. Mike Lee 'happy'

Republican Sen. Mike Lee heard what he considered to be a small civics win among the people who disrupted the Brett Kavanaugh hearing today:

One protester today actually referred to our system of government as a “republic.” That made me happy.
