GOP senator says Kavanaugh should be confirmed because he's 'just a really nice guy'

Beyond parody.

JOSH ISRAEL AUG 16, 2018, 9:04 AM

By replacing retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy with Donald Trump’s nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, the United States Senate could well set back civil rights, voting rights, workers’ rights, access to healthcare, reproductive rights, and civil liberties for decades. But one of his biggest Senate supporters thinks colleagues should overlook all of that because he finds Kavanaugh to be personally charming.

On Fox & Friends on Thursday, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) largely ignored Kavanaugh’s arch-conservative ideology, his judicial record, and his work as a key adviser to former president George W. Bush, instead arguing that the nomination should be quickly confirmed because Kavanaugh loves his daughters.

“Just a really nice guy, a decent person, a person of integrity, a judge,” Johnson answered when asked to describe his meeting with the nominee. “You have to see his eyes light up when he talks about his daughters, coaching their basketball team.”

Johnson then noted that he had spent his time interviewing Kavanaugh for a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court by asking about his mentoring “his daughter’s friend” who had lost her father to ALS .
