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, who was accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford, nearly broke down in tears multiple times during his emotional opening statement to senators on Thursday, as he furiously 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.
He said:
I never had sexual intercourse of anything close to it during high school or for many years after that.
Kavanaugh further admitted he liked beer and still likes beer, but added:
I never drank beer to the point of blacking out and I never sexually assaulted someone.
However, many 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.
