GOP operative and SCOTUS nominee Bret Kavanaugh not only didn’t have the common decency to shake the hand of Fred Guttenberg, the father of a Parkland shooting victim, he reported him to security for removal from the hearings. What a coward, little man and shameless GOP hack he is.

Guttenberg said earlier Tuesday that he approached Kavanaugh during the lunch break to introduce himself, and Kavanaugh “pulled his hand back, turned his back to me and walked away.”
“As soon as I said [my daughter was] ‘murdered in Parkland,’ he just did an immediate turn and went away,” Guttenberg told CNN in an interview Tuesday night. “All he had to do was extend his hand back and say, I’m sorry for your loss, tell me about your daughter.’”
We don’t know what the GOP is hiding by Trump claiming “executive privilege” on Kavanaugh’s documents from the Bush administration on Kavanaugh. We know that it’s legal nonsense for Trump to claim executive privilege over things Kavanaugh did under a previous GOP administration. And we know from this exchange that Kavanaugh does not give a fuck about how his decisions affect regular Americans. He only cares about imposing his conservative patriarchal Catholic religion on all Americans and imposing the will of the most powerful against women, minorities and average folks.
What a nasty, heartless, cowardly little man Kavanaugh has shown himself to be. Of course, that’s exactly why Trump nominated him. Trump needs an enabler to keep his crooked ass out of prison.
