Senate hearings on the Brett Kavanaugh<\/a> nomination to SCOTUS<\/a> have begun.<\/p>\n

It’s been every bit the shitshow<\/a> I thought it would be.<\/p>\n

One of the Democrats, possibly DiFi<\/a>, brought in one of the Parkland parents and, in an attempt to embarrass Kavanaugh, offered to shake his hand<\/a> in front of the cameras.\u00a0 The published picture shows Kavanaugh just looking at the outstretched hand and the antigunners, including asshat Chris Cuomo<\/a>, are claiming he turned away without acknowledging him.\u00a0 However, video clearly shows that security intervened<\/a> and moved him away.\u00a0 Neither the antis nor their political and media allies are interested in the truth so the fact that they would try and pull this sort of stunt is not a surprise.<\/p>\n

Republicans should have expected it and planned their own handshake.\u00a0 Defensive gun use far exceeds that of criminal misuse.\u00a0 Why weren’t there a dozen defensive gun users in the audience?\u00a0 Republicans and the NRA<\/a> need to start thinking like the Democrats to better control the narrative.<\/p>\n
