The Democratic National Committee really wanted to make Judge Brett Kavanaugh look scary.
In their graphic accompanying an ominous Monday blog post on his nomination, the committee cut his upper body out of a headshot, draped it in shadows, and positioned him against a darkened image of the Supreme Court.
Or at least they thought they did. As it turns out, the picture was actually of Judge Thomas Hardiman.
Oh man, @TheDemocrats really suck. That’s Thomas Hardiman they photoshopped to look scary, not Brett Kavanaugh (via @thejcoop) pic.twitter.com/BzvqyJpFVh

Hardiman, of course, was one of the finalists President Trump considered nominating to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat before landing on Kavanaugh. The DNC’s error was captured in screenshots.
But, fear not, they eventually figured it out. Atop the DNC’s post — in which they hysterically claim “any senator who cares about the rights and dignity of the American people should oppose his confirmation” — now sits an equally ominous rendering of Kavanaugh, glaring menacingly into the distance.
