Saturday Night Live brought in actor Matt Damon to portray Brett Kavanaugh for the cold open of last night’s season premiere:

That would be the same Matt Damon who defended Hollywood sickos Louis C.K. and Casey Affleck, who he said should be “forgiven” and “trusted”:

It was actually a big deal at the time. Did SNL forget that?

Damon said back then that if the guy being accused of assault was a friend of his, then he’d “know the real story. So, believe the woman unless the accused is a buddy because why would a buddy hide that from Damon?
MD: It depends on what the accusation is. It depends what’s going on. If it’s a friend of mine, I’m always talking to them. I know the real story if it’s my friend. If it’s a colleague … I don’t know … I guess it depends on the situation and the allegation and how believable I think it is.
And let’s not forget that Damon admitted that he knew that Harvey Weinstein was a monster and said nothing:

Money was more important to Damon than speaking up for women?
This spineless profiteer Matt Damon made millions with Harvey Weinstein and stayed silent through all of his sexual assaults.

Damon was not the right choice for this:
The audience going wild over Matt Damon – who supported Casey Affleck and said problematic things about sexual assault – playing accused sexual assaulter Brett Kavanaugh is making me uncomfortable. #SNL

What’s worse is that #MeToo champion Alyssa Milano made her cameo from the SNL bit her Twitter background just because it included a cardboard cutout of herself:
These people are complete and total hypocrites.
