A dispatch from the universe that is *not* being covered on Kavanaugh... I talked to roughly a dozen conservative women activists who are spitting mad about what's happening to Brett Kavanaugh:

I'll share some of the quotes from these conservative activists here:

“Honestly, I don’t think I have ever been so angry in all of my adult life."

From a GOP leader in West Virginia:

“I’ve got women in my church who were not politically active at all who were incensed with this."

From a field organizer in Indiana, on the way Kavanaugh is persuading voters to commit to voting R in the upcoming Senate race:

"This is one of the best things that could happen to us.”

From a political consultant in Arkansas, who is just not convinced about Ford's story:

“It doesn’t matter to me if it’s Bill Clinton or Brett Kavanaugh ... We want to make sure that sexual predators are dealt with.”

Point is: There's more nuance among the conservative women who support Kavanaugh than some have acknowledged.

Also, this:

“The anchors … were just praising this woman like she was the next Rosa Parks or something. I mean, I was screaming at the TV.”
