Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was confronted by protesters outside the office of Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) last Wednesday.

The protesters stood in the hallway, many of them with fists in the air — and as he walked along, some hurled questions at him about health care.

“Why did you rule against coverage?” one shouted out.

“Will you protect our health care?” another questioned.

Judge Kavanaugh didn’t give the protesters what they wanted — a confrontation leading to an embarrassing soundbite.

Instead, he did his best to ignore them and their shouted-out comments as he continued on his way.

“Do you generally ignore citizens?” one asked as the judge walked by.

Progressives were incensed by Kavanaugh’s nonresponse to their rudeness.

“A few days ago, Judge Kavanaugh refused to chat about health care. Is this the future we want? #StopKavanaugh,” Bernie Sanders’ former Get Out the Vote digital director Melissa Byrne tweeted.

So if you’re a conservative Supreme Court justice — it’s very clear you cannot win with progressives no matter what.

Even no response at all — no matter where or when or how a person is confronted by a group of angry individuals — is considered an “insulting” response to these people.

Kavanaugh is married and the father of two daughters; he’s 53 years old and a judge from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

His faith is also very important to him: He’s active in his local Catholic church and was once an altar boy, as he explained from the podium at the White House when Trump nominated him in early July.
