Brett Kavanaugh snubs Parkland victim's father at Senate confirmation hearing
Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee got off to quite a raucous start on Tuesday. There were protests and clashes between Democratic and Republican senators, but it was an odd snub made by Kavanaugh that's getting the most attention.

That man was Fred Guttenberg, the outspoken father of Parkland shooting victim Jamie Guttenberg, who was on hand as part of his ongoing protest about gun control legislation. Kavanaugh notably wrote a dissent against upholding Washington, D.C.'s semi-automatic rifle ban in 2011.
Guttenberg himself tweeted about the incident.

The hearing resumed after the lunch break without incident, but we're sure this isn't the last we'll hear about Guttenberg's outreach.
