Brett Kavanagh says it's a 'terrible time' to share a name with Brett Kavanaugh. Susan Collins and Christine Ford feel his pain.
The fraught Supreme Court confirmation process was rough on Brett Kavanaugh — both of them, actually.
On Friday, Brett Kavanagh of Louisville, Kentucky, tweeted his frustration over having the nearly same moniker as the newly-named associate justice.
This is a terrible time to be named Brett Kavanagh

His tweet quickly went viral, with hundreds of thousands of people responding, including those who feel his pain all too well.
Like the Susan Collins’.

Try being Sean Spicer for the last two years. Passport control in European airports is awfully fun.

For the record I was Sean Spicer first, as if that matters in cases like this. I’m sure that kind of thing was scant comfort to those named Charles Manson in 1969.

Just gotta embrace it for the icebreaker and conversation starter that is. Plus it helps people to remember you more easily (good or bad). 🙂
