Hollywood celebrities reacted to SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s Senate hearing on Twitter Tuesday with unhinged angry attacks on President Donald Trump and Republican Senators.
Before the hearings began, comedian Chelsea Handler called for the Senate to block the Brett Kavanaugh nomination.
“We can’t let them roll back the progress we’ve made on women’s rights. We’ve got to keep fighting. The hearings start Tuesday. We’ve tied up their phone lines, now let’s flood their mailboxes! Send this postcard to urge your Senator to BlockBrett,” Handler tweeted.

Handler has previously said that Kavanaugh “will turn back the clock on decades worth of progress for women.”
“Here’s what we’ve learned so far from the Kavanaugh hearing: 1) There’s nothing elderly white men love more than interrupting women. 2) There’s nothing elderly white men hate more than being interrupted by women. And we already knew all that,” TBS host Samantha Bee tweeted Tuesday.

1) There’s nothing elderly white men love more than interrupting women.
2) There’s nothing elderly white men hate more than being interrupted by women.

Alyssa Milano also sounded off, asking her fans and followers to help her “save America,” by telling their senators to block Kavanaugh’s nomination.
“I’m not going to stop talking about this. I’m not going to stop asking you to participate. Because we need you to save America. I wish I were kidding,” the Netflix star said.
I'm not going to stop talking about this.
I'm not going to stop asking you to participate.
Because we need you to save America.
I wish I were kidding.

ABC Modern Family producer Danny Zuker wrote, “Pardon my legalese but these motherfucking soulless GOP scum gargglers were able to find it in their ossified hearts the power to kill a SCOTUS nom by delaying for a FUCKING YEAR, but they can’t wait a couple weeks so we can research the pick of an unindicted co-conspirator?!”
Look at this heartless prick. We can rest easy knowing that even though he has no interest in protecting our children from gun violence he will always have the back of a treasonous illegitimate president. https://t.co/ASPB6WwlTs

Other Hollywood figures tweeted their opposition and anger to Brett Kavanaugh and the Republican Party.
This most current clown show in the Senate, all this jockeying re: Kavanaugh, has revealed what is regrettably an immutable truth: the GOP has devolved into a bunch of thugs that will rig even the duties the Constitution has laid out to win a fight they would otherwise lose.

If I were a senator on the Judiciary Committee, my first question to Brett Kavanaugh today would be, "I know a guy who has your last name but he spells it differently. Do you know him?" Then, no matter what he said, I'd say I didn't care and he wasn't getting my vote.

Brett Kavanaugh is the ideal Supreme Court justice for people who:
A) believe all life is sacred
B) are totally cool with torture.Never forget that they're hiding what he did for W so you won't know:https://t.co/Jw1En6HeMD

As Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings begin today, I can’t help but think of my mother and the story of her illegal abortion.

Brett Kavanaugh looks like if @peteholmes died & got left out in the rain for a week.

There’s a 35 month black hole and Kavanaugh’s record during his time at the White House when key issues of torture and gay marriage or being discussed. #BlockBrett @DickDurbin

While we fight Kavanaugh for the many reasons he should not sit on the SCOTUS, don’t let this one slip past your radar. Firmly anti-choice (to the point of grossly negligent lies) Kyl to replace McCain https://t.co/GPckMXOV15

Grassley invoking ‘norms’ now after Republicans and Trump have shattered norms for corrupt political expediency. What a sham process this Kavanaugh Circus is.
