Today was the beginning of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings and it has been a liberal circus. Senate democrats have interrupted the hearing over 40 times with liberal temper tantrums, dozens of lefty protesters have been removed, and Kavanaugh’s family had to be escorted out by security for their safety. The intolerant left wasn’t quite done with their shenanigans as the father of a school shooting victim tried to set Kavanaugh up as a heartless asshole and liberals took to the Interwebz to lie about.
Fred Guttenberg is the father of Parkland shooting victim Jaime Guttenberg and an anti-gun activist. Just prior to the lunch break, Guttenberg approached Kavanaugh and tried to shake his hand. The way the lefty kook tells it, Kavavaugh totally snubbed him, which makes him worse than Hitler:
Just walked up to Judge Kavanaugh as morning session ended. Put out my hand to introduce myself as Jaime Guttenberg’s dad. He pulled his hand back, turned his back to me and walked away. I guess he did not want to deal with the reality of gun violence.

Of course the left jumped into to call out Kavanaugh for being such a cold-hearted son-of-a-bitch:
Brett Kavanaugh, a potential Supreme Court justice, refused to shake the hand of @fred_guttenberg, whose daughter Jaime was murdered in her high school in Parkland, Florida. Remember that the @NRA spent $30M to elect Trump who would, in turn, appoint Kavanaugh.

Wow, here’s Kavanaugh giving @fred_guttenberg a contemptuous look before turning his back on him. Guttenberg’s daughter was killed in the Parkland gun massacre pic.twitter.com/Fz9e0gwytv

Wow. So much for judges being courageous. Long suspected that Brett Kavanaugh was a coward given the way Republicans are hiding his documents from the Bush admin. Thanks for showing us your courage yet again, @Fred_Guttenberg

Shame on Kavanaugh. How could you treat a father who lost his child this way? https://t.co/LYXrh9R9d1

Even a democratic Senator who is part of the hearings got in on the lie:
If Kavanaugh won’t even give him a handshake, how can we believe he would give gun violence victims a fair shake in court? https://t.co/OiDP6lB1Ez

About that snub…it turns out security was the one who prevented Kavanaugh from shaking Guttenberg’s hand:
Fred Guttenberg, who lost his daughter in the tragic Parkland shooting, approached Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and claimed that Kavanaugh refused to shake his hand.
As can be seen in this video clip, security immediately intervened and moved Kavanaugh away. pic.twitter.com/RertGJ3A9m

Kavanaugh definitely didn’t do what the liberals are accusing him of, but even if he did, so what? This room was full of radical and hostile activists. Who could blame the judge for not sticking his hand out to some random kook who approached him?
And even if Kavanaugh did recognize Fred Guttenberg, the anti-gun crusader has a history of attacking the judge, so again, why would he want to shake hands?
Wow @fred_guttenberg can’t believe Kavanaugh didn’t wanna shake your hand after you called him a menace who doesn’t care about 9/11 victims pic.twitter.com/4V8DIPXtZO

The best part about this story is where Guttenberg is headed after this publicity stunt and lie:
CNN tonight at 7:35 and Lawrence O’donnell in the 10pm hour.

Don’t worry, CNN will give him a great platform to perpetuate his bullshit.
