I just saw video with the Parkland dad

[malaise]

and Kavenaugh- there was no security intervention. The WH is lying.

It was on Local 10 in Florida...they are calling it a Supreme Court snub. He looked at Mr. Guttenberg with utter contempt and walked off. Lots of cameras caught this. Video and photos are everywhere.
What an awful man.

3. Thanks

That was unnecessary - everyone in that room had to clear security to enter-he's just one more tugging heartless deplorable.

6. That was pretty mean, typical winger asshole despite the lipstick they're trying to put on him

[LuckyCharms]

16. He's an asshole. Only an asshole would do that. n/t

22. He had enough time at least to acknowledge Guttenberg.

He ALSO had enough time to ask the security person to pause for a moment so he could at least reach out a hand and be polite. Fred Guttenberg was trying to talk to him at the time. Presumably trying to introduce himself and his reason for being there. Kavanaugh stood there, staring straight at him, for enough of a moment that he could have just been briefly polite, with "nice to meet you. They're telling me I gotta go, sorry..." Talk about elitist.

24. Kavanaugh looks right at the Dad _contempuously_ and turns away.....

That's how it looked to me.

[riversedge]

40. I agree.

[empedocles]

33. All the commentary I've seen has been about Kavenaugh.

Imagine how Fred felt at the confrontation, and Fred's felt aftershocks.

[Totally Tunsie]

2. Shameful act...shameful human being.

This nominee needs to be booted ASAP.

[KewlKat]

4. I'm sorry, but wasn't Mr Guttenberg "introduced" by Dianne Feinstein early in the proceedings?

So, K should have known who he was. Mr Guttenberg was polite, saying excuse me twice before K turned to him. The look on K's face reflected contempt, IMO.

[malaise]

5. Yes

Good post.

[MontanaMama]

7. Kavenaugh is a bought and paid for

coward of the highest order. He couldn’t look Mr. Guttenberg in the eye. He ran.

[malaise]

8. And then the WH lied about it

[MontanaMama]

9. I would expect nothing less

from the WH. I’m sure SHS is crafting a whopper as we speak.

[FM123]

10. He looked right at the Parkland Dad and gave him a dirty look

then he walked away with his nose in the air like he was better than him. It was all very deliberate and intentional.

[smirkymonkey]

12. What an asshole!

You know this is who he really is underneath all the phony bullshit.

[FM123]

19. Exactly!

[ok_cpu]

11. In a just world

that would be the end of his nomination. Everything you need to know about his character was laid bare in those few seconds.

[malaise]

31. You nailed it

He showed himself to,everyone

[Guilded Lilly]

13. Kavanaugh is walking excrement. n/t

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. Wow

What an asshole.

[BigmanPigman]

15. That ass went on and on about his own daughters

and his wife and how great teachers are. I wanted to puke. Fuck Kavanaugh!

[appalachiablue]

23. He went on so much about his 2 daughters, like Father of the Year,

coaching their friends, about his own mother and father- yet he snubbed the Parkland victim's father in the most heartless, selfish way possible. In public and on camera. Awful.

[malaise]

30. He'll be remembered for this contemptuous snub

[Pepsidog]

17. Lowlife republican scum

[1cheapbeemr]

20. And the brunette that was flashing the white power sign

You can see her sneering at the dad.

[malaise]

21. They're deplorable

It's that simple
Welcome to DU.

[Rhiannon12866]

25. He was also on with Lawrence O'Donnell and they also showed the video

Lawrence said Fred Guttenberg did the same exact thing to him - and he stopped dead, amazed that this grieving Dad was able to put himself out there like that. They have obviously remained in touch.

[malaise]

38. Wow!

This bunch is mean and heartless.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. Just another Rethug POS... simple as that.

[DeminPennswoods]

27. 1 picture worth 1000 words

is exactly correct in this case.

The pictures and video show the WH lied (par for the course) about what happened, too.

[malaise]

29. You'd think they'd learn

The MJ posse tore him a new one

[DeminPennswoods]

39. Not this crew

but what they have learned is that they all play for an audience of 1, Trump.

32. The GOP is trying to turn Kavenaugh into the Second Coming when he's just one of them:

evil, heartless, self-centered money worshipper.

[Sanity Claws]

34. Let's not forget that Kavanaugh

Could have issued statement offering an explanation or apology and add the same trite phrase of thoughts and prayers for the father’s loss. But he didn’t.

[malaise]

35. Yep

Way too late now

[spanone]

36. kavanaugh looks like he saw a ghost

[malaise]

37. I hopevDems ask him about his beloved NRA's links to Russian money

Please please
