Could it be a campaign to spiff up his image?
White supremacists are blasting Soros, Schumer, Feinstein and other prominent Jews who opposed Kavanaugh. But 99% of Kavanaugh backers aren't antisemitic.

Adelson has backed right-wing causes in Israel and America for years. But now he's getting widespread attention: Trump’s Patron-in-Chief

Here's someone else who apparently didn't get your message, Flock. Steve Baleshiski, the Republican candidate for a state House seat in Connecticut had this to say about David Hogg, one of the Parkland survivors:
“I’m not supposed to speak ill of David Hogg because he is a ‘survivor.’ Apparently if you survive horrific events, that makes the stupidity spewing out of your mouth above reproach. I disagree. Hogg can burn in hell, I don’t care what he survived. Survivors who wage war on my country are my enemies.”
These comments were posted on Baleshiski's Facebook page and only came to light recently. He has resigned his candidacy and local party officials are trying to find a replacement candidate. Baleshiski is 22, so I guess we know the sort of young people who gravitate towards the Republican party nowadays.

No, she claimed to be Jane Doe; that doesn't recant the original accusation.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
