12. Yes, we've all been there one way or the other

Thu Oct 4, 2018, 07:31 PM

Oct 2018

We've either known a Brett Kavanaugh, witnessed gross, inappropriate behavior or experienced an actual assault ourselves.

We've been there. Which is why this whole thing is so intense.

Kavanaugh revealed himself during his testimony--the arrogant, angry, how dare you question me demeanor. He revealed himself when he refused to acknowledge the Parkland high school father, refused to shake his hand and say the minimum, 'sorry for your loss.' The man revealed himself with the slip and slide answers during the hearing, and then resorted to partisan screeching.

We know Brett Kavanaugh. We've seen his likes before, many times.
