Kavanaugh complained today about a political hit fueled by “….millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups.”
How about all of the millions spent to support him?

This seems odd.
Apparently the domain https://t.co/owuFXxU187 was purchased by the Judicial Crisis Network – a conservative campaign group started by Carrie Severino, former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas – more than a year before Kavanaugh was even nominated. pic.twitter.com/X5ZlKADltD
