Brett Kavanaugh’s passionate outrage during his hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee last Thursday is generating scorn, not empathy, from plenty of liberals. “I couldn’t help but think that if a woman had ever performed that way, they would say ‘hysterical,’” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Saturday, later adding, “I think that he…

Presidential candidate Joe Biden stirred up controversy during the 2020 campaign, when, in an interview with a black radio host, he said: “If you have a problem figuring out if you’re for me or Trump, you ain’t black.” Biden got pushback on this, but he captured a pretty common view among liberals: that liberalism is…
