#Kavanaugh

Brett Kavanaugh’s explosive Supreme Court confirmation amid sexual assault allegations.

Quick Facts

Origin & Impact

#Kavanaugh dominated fall 2018 as Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegation nearly derailed the Supreme Court nomination. Her credible, emotional testimony contrasted with Kavanaugh’s angry, partisan defense (“I like beer!”).

The hashtag documented a national reckoning with sexual assault, consent, and #MeToo. Women shared assault stories. Survivors confronted senators in elevators. The FBI investigation was criticized as inadequate. The hearing became cultural touchstone.

Kavanaugh’s confirmation despite allegations galvanized Democrats and contributed to 2018 midterm energy. The hashtag represents deep divisions over gender, power, and accountability.
