Brett Kavanaugh draws a sharp rebuke from 'The Twilight Zone' family
"This is ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone."
When Brett Kavanaugh pushed back against his third accuser, Julie Swetnick, in a Wednesday statement, the Twilight Zone quote is the one that made the rounds. Now, the daughter of series creator Rod Serling has made it clear that she doesn't approve of the comparison.

In a Friday tweet, Anne Serling — an author herself — pointed out that her father wouldn't have appreciated the present day face of the GOP, which has descended into mudslinging and a partisan gaming of the system. She added that if the Kavanaugh matter had been written as a Twilight Zone episode, it would have played out much differently.
Because The Twilight Zone has been invoked in the Kavenaugh hearings, I'll offer this: my father believed in decency, integrity and justice. Had he written this, I assure you—there would indeed be a further FBI investigation along with some cosmic justice. pic.twitter.com/tOSIrssWvm

"My father believed in decency, integrity, and justice," Serling wrote. "Had he written this, I assure you—there would indeed be a further FBI investigation along with some cosmic justice."
The cosmic justice she spoke of may still come, now that the FBI has reopened its background check on Kavanaugh. (Serling's tweet posted just a few hours before that happened.)
