Following the new low established by USA Today castigating Brett Kavanaugh as a potential pedophile who should stay away from children, the Illinois Times published a wickedly evil cartoon that mocks the judge’s 10-year-old daughter, depicted praying for Kavanaugh’s accuser, according to The American Conservative.
Though the powerful testimony by Kavanaugh last Thursday offered more than a few tearful moments, none came anywhere close to Kavanaugh recalling his daughter’s grace towards Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing her father of sexually assaulting her 36 years ago.
“I’m not questioning that Dr. Ford may have been sexually assaulted by some person in some place at some time,” Kavanaugh said. “But I have never done this to her or to anyone. That’s not who I am, it is not who I was. I am innocent of this charge. I intend no ill will to Dr. Ford and her family.”
“The other night, Ashley and my daughter, Liz, said their prayers,” Kavanaugh choked up as he continued. “Little Liza, all of 10 years old, said to Ashley, we should pray for the woman. That’s a lot of wisdom from a 10-year-old. We mean no ill will.”
Leaving no earth unscorched in the campaign to destroy this man, Chris Britt at the Illinois Times published this grotesque cartoon:

Social media reactions to the cartoon, like those to the USA Today piece, have been merciless. Neither Chris Britt nor the Illinois Times has issued an apology.
