Brett Kavanaugh has led a life of privilege. Whining and crying his way out of consequences has worked for him since he was a child. I have no doubt that he'll still be appointed, this is Trump's America after all, but what a bad look.
This was not a trial. It did not follow an investigation into these 30+ year-old charges. What it was was an inquiry into whether or not Brett Kavanaugh is fit to be a Supreme Court judge. If, when presented with facts and evidence, he could make an informed and impartial judgment at a seat in the highest court in the land. The way he, without provocation, offered up conspiracy theories that implicated the Democrats and the Clinton family as the source of all his woes gave us all the answer we needed. Who needs impartiality in their judges? This man just showed us how ready he is to be a star player for Team Trump! His impotent blubbering only aligns him closer to his teammates!
His alleged victim, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, on the other hand, conducted herself with dignity and poise, which is truly admirable given that she was recounting one of the most traumatic events of her life live in front of the entire country. This is something that has haunted her for decades. Republican Senators picked her apart, and she didn't flinch. It's a shame we can't appoint her to the Supreme Court. But we all know this is just a minor delay in this country's ongoing war on women's reproductive rights and civil liberties.
After watching this shitshow I think we all need to boof some Xanax!
