From the Mother Jones article https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/09/parkland-dad-escorted-out-of-hearing-after-trying-to-shake-kavanaughs-hand/
A security guard pulled Guttenberg away from Kavanaugh after the interaction. Guttenberg told Mother Jones he was then removed from the hearing room. After being detained by Capitol police, he was allowed to return to the hearing but was told he would have to sit down going forward.
As Kavanaugh critics erupted in outrage on Twitter, White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah issued a tweet stating that security had intervened before Kavanaugh had the opportunity to shake Guttenbergs hand.
