The hearing's over, but people still aren't buying Kavanaugh's discredited argument

Image
Brett Kavanaugh's seemingly tenuous relationship with the truth is still haunting those who watched him testify on Thursday. At times, the prospective Supreme Court justice abandoned composure to shed tears and scream, but at his most jarring he straight-up refused to answer questions directly, was unwilling to request an FBI investigation, and, as further research revealed, apparently lied under oath. In the days since the hearing, people have replayed his testimony in their minds and on their screens. They've turned Kavanaugh's words around over and over again to really let them simmer. And it seems the more thought that's given to his responses, the more discussions about his dishonesty rage on social media. Read more...

Congrats to Brett Kavanaugh on getting to be angry

Image
After Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's heart-wrenching and credible testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, pundits wondered whether Brett Kavanaugh would adopt a gentler tone during his own appearance. He did not. Instead, he leaned in to being angry. He spoke in a near-constant loud monotone. At times, he yelled. At other points, his face scrunched up with rage , appearing nearly vicious. Unlike Ford, who was sympathetic, measured, and vulnerable, Kavanaugh was aggressive. Unabashedly emotional. Self-righteously angry even when he began to cry. Kavanaugh lashes out at Democrats over allegations and attacks: "You may defeat me in the final vote, but you'll never get me to quit" pic.twitter.com/h5RmNhdqmP — Marcus Gilmer (@marcusgilmer) September 27, 2018 Read more...
