Brett Kavanaugh and assault claims testimony: Highlights
Highlights: Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh testifies against Christine Blasey Ford's sexual assault claims against him
A Washington D.C. restaurant has issued an apology after its Kavanaugh hearing and bottomless mimosa advertisement was called out on Twitter for being offensive and “not a great look.”
Shaw’s Tavern took to social media to announce it was opening early to give people a place to watch the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The restaurant said in a since-deleted tweet that it would be “open at 10 a.m. for the hearing. Bar service starts at 11 a.m. with bottomless mimosas.”
