Watch this. Then watch it again.

And then re-read all the puff pieces about how Brett Kavanaugh is “so nice”.
He wouldn’t even shake Fred Guttenberg’s hand, whose daughter was murdered at Parkland.
Deplorable. pic.twitter.com/27WBH2Y9Vk
Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter died in the Parkland shooting, tells @cnn that Kavanaugh not only wouldn’t shake his hand—he asked security to remove Guttenberg from the hearing, and identified him by the bracelets he wears to commemorate his daughter.

I invited @Fred_Guttenberg to sit in the audience at today’s hearing because the Supreme Court affects the lives of real people. He knows firsthand how Brett Kavanaugh’s extreme views on guns could lead to more massacres. Thank you Fred, for honoring your daughter.

To be clear, I was invited by Senator Feinstein to attend today. Anyone who knows me knows I will talk to anyone. I initiated an effort to introduce myself to Kavanaugh. It was my decison and I own it. Anyone trying to come up with some politial master plan is simply wrong.

Kavanaugh aside and under the heading, “reality meets conservative thinker,” tomorrow the Resistance has another opportunity in the Delaware primary to vote another neo-liberal, Senator Tom Carper, out of office in favor of a Progressive Democrat, Kerri Harris.
Yesterday in Massachusetts, Progressive Democrat Ayanna Pressley beat 10 term Democratic US Representative, neo-liberal Mike Capuano, and took his House seat away from him.
In Chicago neo-liberal Rahm Emanuel said that he would not seek a third term.
In Delaware—–tomorrow—vote for Democrat Kerri Harris for the US Senate.
Perhaps he doesn’t care to meet with anyone who is concerned about the safety of public schools because his own children go to a private Catholic school that costs $10K/year for tuition.
