This picture from the Kavanaugh hearings went viral because it’s so extraordinary
This picture of Donald Trump’s nominee for the US Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, went viral on Thursday.
Kavanaugh was giving evidence before a Senate committee after Christine Blasey Ford said he had assaulted her 36 years ago, allegations he has emphatically denied.
But if one picture captured the mood, it appeared to be this one.

They include his mom, Martha (far left); his friend, Laura Cox Kaplan (2nd from left); his wife, Ashley (3rd from left); and his former clerk, Zina Bash (far right) https://t.co/Q9MtaXZMQs
