As 'Compassionate' Dems Looked for Dirt on Kavanaugh, He Was Feeding Homeless People

The optics are everything.

While liberals opposed to Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court have been making a dangerous spectacle of themselves with disgraceful public protests, it appears the judge himself is simply going about his normal business.

And pictures posted to Twitter by The Daily Caller on Wednesday – reportedly taken by a woman on her way home from work in Washington that day – showed that Kavanaugh’s normal business is something virtually no decent human being could object to.

Less than 48 hours after he was at the center of national attention, being introduced by President Donald Trump in the East Room of the White House, Kavanaugh was outside Catholic Charities in downtown Washington, serving meals to the homeless, The Daily Caller reported.

According to a Twitter posting by a man who identified himself as a fellow volunteer, Kavanaugh had made the commitment to work at the feeding station before his nomination.

Now, contrast the image of a man working to serve the poor with the image that liberals are trying to conjure up about Kavanaugh’s personality. Democrats aren’t just digging for professional “dirt” about Kavanaugh (as a CNN headline put it), they’re attacking him personally too.

This Twitter post from NARAL Pro Choice America gives a pretty good idea of where opponents to the Kavanaugh nomination might be headed.

They insult a man by calling him a “frat boy” — apparently because his name is Brett?

Targeting a man for what his parents called him is a pretty cheap tactic. It’s even worse when it’s being used by a group that deliberately uses its own name to disguise what it stands for.

NARAL used to be known as the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, but changed its name in 2003 because, according to The New York Times, it wanted to “freshen its image.”

More likely, it wanted to avoid reminding Americans that what it really stands for is the destruction of unborn children in their mothers’ wombs.

Former Democrat National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe, a close friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton, got into the action too.

Or how about this one, from lunatic liberal Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy.

Obviously, just being a compassionate man who volunteers with a charity to feed the homeless isn’t enough to qualify anyone to be a Supreme Court justice.

Does it surprise you to learn Judge Brett Kavanaugh still volunteers to feed the homeless?
But Kavanaugh, at only 53, has had a distinguished legal career already — including authoring opinions from his seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia that have been key parts of eventual Supreme Court opinions. Not even his opponents have seriously questioned his legal bona fides.

And it turns out that he’s also a man who takes his religious faith seriously enough for it to translate into the most charitable of actions – feeding the hungry.

If Americans have a choice between the Kavanaugh Democrats are blatantly trying to manufacture and the Kavanaugh these apparently authentic street pictures show, it’s pretty clear which one is closer to reality. That’s why these pictures have to horrify liberals, Democrats and their acolytes in the media.

Because in a P.R. fight like the one Democrats are trying to wage against Kavanaugh, the optics are everything.
