On Thursday night, the Wall Street Journal published an op-ed by Brett Kavanaugh in which he apologizes for being over-emotional during his testimony while being accused of sexual assault and possibly holding a string of parties at which girls were routinely drugged and gang-raped.
Kavanaugh in an op/ed for the WSJ:
"Yes, I was emotional last Thursday. I hope everyone can understand that I was there as a son, husband and dad. I testified with five people foremost in my mind: my mom, my dad, my wife, and most of all my daughters.”https://t.co/h0nSiUhPaF— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 4, 2018
Some other people were a little too emotional as well, if we recall correctly.
I wish some of the members of the committee would apologize for the awful and biased way they treated Kavanaugh — i.e. Booker calling him “evil.” Kavanaugh is gracious here, IMO.

So Kavanaugh has apologized for letting anger get the best of him, but — won’t somebody think of the children?
ABC News did and published a report on the effect the “Kavanaugh controversy” is having on teens.
"The way he composed himself really didn't set a good example."

First, who gives a **** what teens think, and second … well, we can’t think of a second. But let’s not pretend that a whole generation of kids is going to be damaged if Kavanaugh is confirmed.
Propaganda in its textbook form

Lying about being sexually assaulted is not a good example.

Let’s poll the pre-k crowd so we can get a more meaningful set of data…

So emphatic! Yet so out of touch with reality! I’d leave it there…

This and David Hogg are why we don’t allow children to vote.

Teens are easily manipulated by fake news.

All who are accused of a crime are allowed a vigorous defense, a basic American judicial tenet that all teenagers need to learn

He would have lost either way. If he came in meek, all the feminists would have said, "See, if he was truly innocent he would have been more irate at the false accusations against him." "Heads I win, tails you lose."

I believe he reacted exactly like anyone who was/is in his shoes. You know the truth is no matter how he acted the news media and those that don’t believe him would say he didn’t compose himself right . He was in a lose lose situation with you all!

Well when you accuse him of gang rape in front of his family, you tend to defend your integrity but ABC wouldn’t know anything about that.

Here’s @CoryBooker yelling at a woman. DHS sec. nope, not defending his stealing second base memoir. Just yelling at a woman about something the last administration did. pic.twitter.com/LVw6gapuUt

Booker wasn’t yelling … he was just really passionate about his truth.
Lol. This is just a farce. https://t.co/isFVZ7dNmD
