Kavanaugh blames woman accusing him of assault for his Senate meltdown

[turbinetree]

By Kaili Joy Gray - October 5, 2018

Kavanaugh's behavior in front of the Senate was atrocious. His excuse for it is even worse.

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh had a stunning and belligerent meltdown last week when he testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

And he’s blaming the woman who says he tried to rape her in high school for his shocking and inappropriate behavior.

“I was subjected to wrongful and sometimes vicious allegations,” Kavanaugh wrote in an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal, and minimizes his unhinged performance as merely “forceful and passionate” testimony.

It was far more than that, though. Kavanaugh shouted and snapped at senators, trembled with rage, lobbed hyperpartisan attacks, and even proposed the ridiculous conspiracy theory that he is the victim of “revenge on behalf of the Clintons.”

4. .

... No one knows what it's like
to be hated, to be fated
to telling only lies ...

No one knows what it's like
to feel these feelings
like I do
and I blame you! ...

5. Bullshit. He was reading a prepared statement that he'd written in advance

(maybe with the help of someone at the WH, like Don McGahn?). He didn't spontaneously lose his temper because he suddenly felt aggrieved. He'd planned it in advance. He'd already written the ridiculous conspiracy claim about the Clintons; he didn't just blurt it out because he'd cracked under pressure and lost his shit, for which we should forgive him because it was just a spontaneous outburst of justified anger. I have no doubt he was angry, but his words were scripted in advance.

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

8. And it was prepared and staged by the White House

In his "preparatory" meetings leading up to his appearance.
