This is horribly embarrassing for Brett Kavanaugh — the man the Republican Party is hoping will be our next Supreme Court Justice.
During a break in a confirmation hearing over his potential appointment earlier today, Kavanaugh was approached by a man named Fred Guttenberg, who reached out with his hand to shake that of Kavanaugh’s.
Now, you (probably) don’t know the name Fred Guttenberg, but you unfortunately know of his daughter: Jamie Guttenberg was one of the 17 people killed in the Parkland, Florida shooting earlier this year at Stoneman Douglas High School.
Well, the elder Guttenberg wanted to shake Kavanaugh’s hand as he was getting up to leave… and wouldn’t you be shocked to know what the ultra right-winger Kavanaugh did when he heard about Guttenberg’s connection to Parkland.
You can sort of it see it on video (above), but ch-ch-check out the video (below) that REALLY captures what happened:
Um… WOW.
What a freakin’ scumbag!!!
Guttenberg himself even knew what was up (below):
DAMMNNNNN!!!!!
The White House has responded, saying security intervened before he could shake his hand, but watch THIS angle and decide for yourself:
Fred Guttenberg, father of Parkland victim, Jaime, tries to shakes hands with Brett Kavanaugh: “My daughter was murdered at Parkland.”
White House says an “unidentified individual approached” Kavanaugh, but “before the judge was able to shake his hand, security had intervened.” pic.twitter.com/IerpDMOW0h

It seems he had ample chance to shake Guttenberg’s hand if he wanted to.
Seriously shameful, Brett Kavanaugh!
