What Happened In The Brett Kavanaugh Hearing

Kavanaugh just mentioned Bill Clinton’s impeachment and his work as an attorney on the Starr report. Now moving on to his work for George W. Bush. This seems …unwise to highlight? Just makes him seem more partisan.

Maybe someone besides his former law clerk should have read this.

Actor and activist Alyssa Milano is in the audience as a guest of Dianne Feinstein. Milano popularized the #MeToo hashtag online last October, but the origin of “Me too” stems from the work of activist Tarana Burke, who has worked with survivors who are young women of color for years. But contextualizing this hearing in terms of #MeToo won’t resonate with Republicans. According to a survey by YouGov/HuffPo, Republicans hold a much less favorable view of the movement, and more than half think “the movement has gone too far.” Republican women are slightly more supportive of the movement then Republican men.
