Dem lawmaker blasts Kavanaugh's 'angry' tone in hearing

Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu (Calif.) pointed to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's emotional testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday as evidence of how the judge may act when inebriated.

In a tweet, the Democratic lawmaker noted that Kavanaugh appeared "angry" during his opening statement and in subsequent questioning from Democratic senators and prosecutor Rachel Mitchell, who questioned Kavanaugh on behalf of Republicans.

"If Brett Kavanaugh can be this angry on national TV, imagine what he's like when he gets inebriated," Lieu tweeted Thursday during Kavanaugh's testimony.

The lawmaker's tweet also retweeted Sirius XM host Dean Obeidallah, who remarked that Kavanaugh "is one of those rare people who gets less likable the more he talks."
