“IN ADDITION TO MAKING MISLEADING STATEMENTS, WHICH IS A PATTERN WITH JUDGE KAVANAUGH, HE ACCUSED THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS OF COORDINATING A PLOT TO
SABOTAGE HIS NOMINATION. CLEARLY, HE WAS SPEAKING TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE, PRESIDENT TRUMP. A NOMINEE FOR THE SUPREME COURT SO RATTLED THAT HE WOULD BUY
INTO A VAST CONSPIRACY THEORY IS ASTOUNDING AND DANGEROUS. LET’S NOT FORGET HIS EXACT WORDS. JUDGE KAVANAUGH SAID, AND I QUOTE — THIS WHOLE TWO-WEEK EFFORT,
HE SAID, HAS BEEN A CALCULATED AND ARC STRAIGHTED POLITICAL HIT, FUELED WITH APPARENT PENT-UP ANGER ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE 2016 ELECTION, FEAR THAT
HAD BEEN UNFAIRLY STOKED ABOUT MY JUDICIAL RECORD, REVENGE ON BEHALF OF THE CLINTONS, AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN MONEY FROM OUTSIDE LEFT-WING OPPOSITION
GROUPS, END QUOTE. WITH THAT NAKEDLY POLITICAL SCREED, BRETT KAVANAUGH SHOWED US WHO HE REALLY IS — A PARTISAN POLITICAL OPERATIVE WITH AN AGENDA. THE VERY
WORRY THAT KEPT HIM FROM CONFIRMATION TO THE D.C. CIRCUIT FOR THREE YEARS.”
