Like a drowning person, the opponents of Brett Kavanaugh are desperately trying to grab onto anything.
Having failed to rattle Kavanaugh, either through questioning by Democrat Senators or shouting by alt-left protesters in the hearing room, Democrats have taken to bold-faced lies, like that peddled by Kamala Harris about contraceptives. And bizarre presidential campaign posturing, like Cory Booker
But it gets worse. Even worse than the attempt to portray Kavanaugh as a monster hostile to women and minorities.
The push starting yesterday was to claim that Kavanaugh committed perjury in his present and past testimony before Congress. The accusations are being spread by Democrat Senators:
And by #TheResistance, like former Hillary Spokesman Brian Fallon:

Fallon is demanding a criminal referral to DOJ:

And beyond that, once there is a firm conservative majority in place, to delegitimize the Supreme Court.
