The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Tuesday attacked President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, in a post featuring the picture of another judge.
The DNC published a blog post earlier in the morning paired with a picture of another of Trump’s finalists for the Supreme Court nomination, Judge Thomas Hardiman, instead of Kavanaugh. Hardiman sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
DNC chair Tom Perez initially fell for the incorrect picture on Twitter before later deleting his tweet criticizing Kavanaugh.
“We know #KavanaughSCOTUS is an extremist who has been expressed disturbing views on presidential power and would criminalize abortion. Call your Republicans senators, today: 202-224-3121,” Perez tweeted.
The DNC deleted its initial tweet with the incorrect picture and sent out another tweet with the correct one, but not before they were mocked by several conservative reporters and the office of Sen. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah).
“Fill in the blank” opposition keeps getting people in trouble.
That’s not even Judge Kavanaugh. https://t.co/ep8vAzootd
