As Twitchy has reported, Twitter is on fire at the moment with liberals passing around either 1) the photo of Brett Kavanaugh snubbing the father of a Parkland shooting victim or 2) some Zapruder-like C-SPAN footage of Zina Bash throwing the white power sign during Kavanaugh’s hearing.
Boy, did her name make the rounds quickly. In fact, we just checked Twitter’s United States trends, and Zina Bash is holding steady at No. 3 with more than 45,000 tweets about her.
Her husband would like a word:
The husband of Zina Bash, the woman sitting behind Kavanaugh during the hearing today. He is also the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas, which includes San Antonio. https://t.co/DfLBM6YODf

Texas, huh? Sounds racist already, but we’ll hear him out.
The attacks today on my wife are repulsive. Everyone tweeting this vicious conspiracy theory should be ashamed of themselves. We weren’t even familiar with the hateful symbol being attributed to her for the random way she rested her hand during a long hearing. 1/3

Zina is Mexican on her mother’s side and Jewish on her father’s side. She was born in Mexico. Her grandparents were Holocaust survivors. We of course have nothing to do with hate groups, which aim to terrorize and demean other people — never have and never would. 2/3

Some of the Twitter comments have even referred to our baby daughter. I know that there are good folks on both sides of the political divide. I hope that people will clearly condemn this idiotic and sickening accusation. 3/3

Narrator: People did not clearly condemn this idiotic and sickening accusation.
@FixTheCourt Sorry sweetie…THAT'S NOT A RANDOM HAND GESTURE! She knew what she was doing. Obviously YOU don't!

Yep. Perfectly natural. Nothing to see here. Everybody go home and leave the nice lady alone.

So, you're saying that was a perfectly organic way to hold your fingers on your arm?!?! You weren't familiar with the symbol? BULLSHIT.

Why does she work for this administration & what is her involvement with the immigration issue?

John, have you EVER rested your hand randomly that way in your life?

Adam, has anyone EVER loved you?

Solid burn. We approve.
Stand up for your wife by all means. But how is this in any way, shape, or form, official business by a US Attorney? Deeply inappropriate use of an official account. Deeply inappropriate use of your official title to give weight to a purely personal opinion.

Do you have a soul? Or has your pompous idiocy sucked it from your body like salt sucks up a leech? https://t.co/jRVPalZo99

Looks like she was nursing a papercut or something completely innocent. But, but she works for Trump! pic.twitter.com/IblnMrzFVG

Yes, let’s destroy her and her entire family. We’re still not sure why she’d flash a white power sign on TV, though. To own the libs?
Today I am being told by dozens of insistent Twitter geniuses that the Mexican-American granddaughter of Holocaust survivors was actually flashing Nazi white power symbols at the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings because of her arm posture.
Our politics is stupid beyond repair.

Um…Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law are supposedly Orthodox Jews but their father hangs out with Nazis. For that matter there were actually some Jewish Nazis during WWII. The fact her grandparents survived the Holocaust is utterly irrelevant.
— Charles Gaba (@charles_gaba) September 4, 2018
What was that about “stupid beyond repair?”
The nutty stuff you're seeing on Twitter right now ("Kavanaugh disrespected the father of a Parkland victim!" "A WH staffer was throwing white power signs on camera!" etc.) is a simple outgrowth of the recognition by Dems that there is no way to stop confirmation. That is all.
— Jeff B. (@EsotericCD) September 4, 2018
Even those who are tweeting angrily about know in their hearts that it's all ginned-up nonce. That's not the point, really. It's half "throw whatever you can at the wall at this point and pray something sticks" and half insensate emoting to discharge a feeling of helplessness.

I thought the wp thing was a deadpan joke
