    I know I keep harping on this point, but can someone please call up @ChelseaClinton & ask her how she feels that Brett Fucking Kavanaugh wants to be excused for getting emo abt his daughters having to watch him talk about his past sexual indiscretions? https://www.wsj.com/articles/i-am-an-independent-impartial-judge-1538695822 …pic.twitter.com/4EDN4T93jV

        Link? And is anyone going after his kids? Last I checked Rush Limbaugh has not weighed in on them.

        Please leave Judge Kavanaugh’s daughters alone. They do not belong in your cartoons, “jokes”, or skits. If you can’t make your point about Judge Kavanaugh, whatever it may be, without bullying his kids, it’s not worth making. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1047341521752797185 …

        Ah, thanks. Doesn't actually get to my point. It had to have sucked for Chelsea and must suck for Kavanaugh now outside of the cartoons. That's what he addresses here, his shame before his daughters. I'm just asking him to show a smidgen of self-awareness that he has done same

        while you're at it, ask her how she feels about the way her mom dismissed all the claims made by Bill's accusers, and practically shamed them...

        Are you asking the very same of Kavanaugh's wife, or are you a raging hypocrite?

        @ChelseaClinton was right. Leave the kids out of it. No one should use them as targets and he shouldn’t use them as shields.

        Um, he wasn't there as a dad. He was there as a Supreme Court nominee. This excuse makes it even worse.

        Deflect and blame is his MO. Kavanaugh brought all of this on himself by acting unprofessionally and throwing judicial temperament to the wind. Kavanaugh is responsible for Kavanaugh's behavior. He needs to keep his kids out of it.

        I'd say in general @ChelseaClinton is too kindhearted and diplomatic to give you the well-deserved catharsis you seek on this issue. She could surely give Brett Kavanaugh humanity lessons.https://twitter.com/ChelseaClinton/status/1047557148908183553 …
