Brett Kavanaugh is mocked online for his emotional testimony and comments about beer

Judge Brett Kavanaugh has been mocked by social media users for his emotional testimony and his comments about his tendency to drink beer.

The Supreme Court nominee nearly broke down in tears multiple times during his emotional opening statement to senators on Thursday, as he angrily described the effect of the allegations against him on his family.

Visibly angry, he repeatedly stopped to blow his nose and drink water as he unleashed against the Democrats on the committee, accusing them of making him the victim of a smear campaign.  

He also reiterated his claim he made in a Fox News interview on Monday that he was a virgin in high school and for years afterward. 

‘I never had sexual intercourse of anything close to it during high school or for many years after that,’ he said.

Kavanaugh also admitted he liked beer, still likes beer but added it doesn’t mean he sexually assaulted anyone.

‘I liked beer. I still like beer. But I never drank beer to the point of blacking out and I never sexually assaulted someone,’ he said. 

However, social media users had no sympathy for the judge and were quick to mock him for his composure and comments.

Twitter was quickly flooded with memes and soon Beer was trending on the social media site.

User Meghan wrote: ‘#KavanaughHearings Sponsored by the beer industry since 2018.’

Laura Sieling added: ‘I think the most compelling thing I learned about  @BrettKavanaugh during the Committee Hearing is that he liked beer. He drank beer. His FRIENDS drank beer! HE LIKED BEER!’

Brian J. Karem tweeted: ‘I wonder if Kavanaugh liked beer?’

Molly Jong-Fast added: ‘Beer is great, the Brett Kavanaugh story.’
