Stephen Colbert 'Late Show' writer: 'I'm just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh's life'
Fox News ^ | 07 October 2018 | Gregg Re

Posted on 10/07/2018 2:04:57 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

In a social media post on Saturday, a writer for CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" seemingly celebrated the damage done to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's reputation during his bruising and bitterly partisan confirmation battle.

"Whatever happens, I'm just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh's life," the writer, Ariel Dumas, posted on Twitter. Dumas later briefly made her account private, preventing others from viewing her posts without her approval.

Her tweet came as the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court by a 50-48 vote, with Republicans saying that the several allegations of decades-old sexual misconduct brought against him simply lacked sufficient corroboration and credibility.

Dumas apologized on Sunday, claiming she was being "sarcastic" because Kavanaugh's elevation to the Supreme Court demonstrated that his life had not, in fact, been entirely derailed by the accusations as some Republicans had claimed.

"Whatever happens, I'm just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh's life."

— "The Late Show" writer Ariel Dumas (deleted tweet) "The last couple of weeks have been hard for the country and for me personally," Dumas wrote. "The complexity of frustration, anger and sadness can’t be accurately conveyed on twitter, and I regret my tone-deaf attempt at sarcasm in the wake of it."

It gets less difficult nowadays since entertainment is mostly a regurgitation of what came before it.

Time to take away some that power. Reverse NYT v. Sullivan such that a public figure has the same right to sue for libel as a private citizen.

Guess what? Despite the lies and smears Brett Kavanaugh has now reached the pinnacle for his line of work.

He will now have the change to judge wisely and serenely. His name will be wrote into the history books. Our grandchildren will study his legal opinions and admire his integrity under fire.

No one will remember the asshat Coldert in even 10 years time,

Hear! Hear! Democrats aren’t merely the “loyal opposition”; they are the enemy.

“Democrats aren’t merely the “loyal opposition”; they are the enemy.”

After this debacle, many Republican Senators are aware of that reality.

Stephen Colbert is nothing but a horse’s ass. So few people watch his show that they have to publish the things he says on yahoo.

They DID NOT "ruin" Brett Kavanaugh's life. He went through a trial by fire, against a savage enemy and triumph, I would say that's a character-builder.

What they meant for evil, the Lord will use for good.
