This is just despicable.
SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh followed Dr. Christine Blasey Ford‘s testimony on Thursday with a rambling speech in which he raised his voice, cried multiple times, and got openly political.
He blamed the Clintons, tried to use his calendar as evidence, and talked about how his daughter said they should “pray for the woman” accusing him. Ick.

But his “answers” — if you can call them that were even worse. He remained evasive down to every single detail:
At one point he actually answered Amy Klobuchar‘s question of whether he’s ever been blackout drunk with:
“I don’t know. Have you?”
If you’ve ever tried to get a straight answer out of a guilty child, you’ve seen this before.
Let’s just say the Twitter response was very different for Judge Kavanaugh:
But the reactions weren’t just to Kavanaugh.
No, that’s because some of the Republican senators who were too scared to ask questions after Ford’s testimony were all too eager to get on a soapbox and testify themselves during Kavanaugh’s questioning.
Especially Lindsey Graham, who WENT OFF in defense of Kavanaugh, whom he called a “victim” — and insinuated to Democrats that if this nominee doesn’t get confirmed, he’ll find accusations against all of their nominees.
Yeah. Wow.
We’ll end with the President of the United States… and also Captain America:
