Parkland victim's father and Kavanaugh: The handshake that wasn't

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The father of a student killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting earlier this year attempted to shake the hand of Brett Kavanaugh during the judge's first day of Senate confirmation hearings to the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.

"Just walked up to Judge Kavanaugh as morning session ended. Put out my hand to introduce myself as Jaime Guttenberg's dad. He pulled his hand back, turned his back to me and walked away," Fred Guttenberg tweeted. "I guess he did not want to deal with the reality of gun violence."

Guttenberg's daughter Jaime, 14, was killed during the Valentine's Day shooting in Parkland, Florida, that left another 16 dead and injured 17 more.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah responded to Guttenberg's tweet, writing, "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."

Guttenberg wasn't satisfied with that response.

"Incorrect. I was here all day and introduced by Senator Feinstein. No security involved. He turned and walked away," Guttenberg tweeted.

1. Just saw the interview on CNn

Kavanaugh sounds like a big POS

2. He was just interviewed on CNN

and said the same thing. They (the GOP losers) lied about it. I am glad he set it straight for the record. When Kavanaugh went on and on about his mother, wife, daughters today I wanted to punch him in the face (and I am a pacifist).

3. Get That Gnat Outa My Face

Kavanaugh does not have time for peasants. He just wants to Bullshit for a few days and get through this so he can start making laws for the peasants to follow.

Why would he want to acknowledge someone who is suffering from gun violence? His reaction is probably that his right to bear arms is more important than a bunch of dead high school students.
