>> I was raised that boys and men aren’t to cry. As a former Infantry Marine I learned to completely hide and control emotions and feelings and to push through regardless. You bury it deep, but you can still be aware of it. If you can’t understand the emotional hurt him and more specifically his family have gone through, you are far more cold hearted than I am.

Let me ask you a very simple question: If Mitch had decided to let Merrick Garland go through the confirmation process, and if a bunch of women had stepped forward with made-up accusations against him, and Merrick come out crying and choking up, would you talk about how he's a brave man and how his family had suffered?

Or would you call him a snowflake and say that he needed a safe space?

How ridiculous a statement or belief a man isn’t to cry. I agree with you. I know Kris Paronto. I’ve seen him cry. He’s cried and lost composure many times on interviews and videos. Who’s more brave or more a man than he?

Were did I say anything about bravery? Get off your high horse.

If the allegations are false, I could understand him tearing up in anger as Kavanaugh did and wouldn’t hold that against him.
