Brett Kavanaugh turned away from a father of a high school student murdered in the Parkland, Fla., mass shooting during a break in his Supreme Court confirmation hearing on Tuesday.
During a lunch break in the hearing, Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jaime Guttenberg was one of the 17 high school students killed in the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in February, wrote on Twitter[1] he tried to talk to Kavanaugh, who turned away from him.
'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,' he wrote.
