Brett Kavanaugh’s lip-quivering description of how Democratic senators, left-leaning groups and an evil cabal of wealthy liberals has “destroyed my family” was one of the biggest misdirections and outright lies of his angry, sloppy, prevaricating testimony.
His actions have made a complete mockery of his phony “concern for his family.” A better person, someone with a modicum of integrity, humility and decency, would have pulled his or her nomination by this point instead of continuing to blatantly lie in public testimony and putting his family through the blistering spotlight his own actions have brought upon them.
But from the very start of his nominating process, it has been crystal clear that Kavanaugh’s number one priority is, was, and will always be Brett Kavanaugh.
He cares about himself first — and his entitlement to this seat — far more than he cares about his wife or children. He has chosen put them through this, no one else. And he has done it because he is an entitled narcissist (sound familiar?) who truly believes that this is his seat, that he deserves this seat, that he is owed this seat because he has been groomed for this seat for years.
Sure, he may be upset about what has happened to his family in this process. But not enough to withdraw from consideration and certainly not enough to tell the truth about his past. If dragging one’s wife and young children through the mud to satisfy one’s singular desire isn’t the ultimate in narcissism, what is?
“I’m a fighter and always have been.”
Indeed. A fighter for Brett Kavanaugh, regardless of who else gets crushed along the way.
