W.H. issues false statement about Kavanaugh ducking that handshake.

White House Principal Press Secretary Raj Shaw disputed Guttenberg’s account.

“As Judge Kavanaugh left for his lunch break, an unidentified individual approached him. Before the Judge was able to shake his hand, security had intervened,” Shaw claimed.

“Incorrect,” Guttenberg replied. “I was here all day and introduced by Senator Feinstein. No security involved.”

“He turned and walked away,” he added.

Lie about everything. Why would they have to lie about this? Because they feel they can get away with lying

Kavanaugh is as despicable as the rest of the republicans. How can you do that to a grieving father.

The WH is lying again, or more accurately, as usual. They lie even when the lie is disproven by a video or audio recording. Also, the name of the WH stooge is Raj Shah, not Shaw.

Perhaps try a bad lip reading type video of Mr. Guttenberg as he extends his hand to Kavanaugh. Trump's base might fall for it and the GOP will vote to confirm regardless.

One would think that a man of his standing would have better manners than that. He just gave him a cold stare and turned to walk away. Not nice.
