FACEBOOK SUPPRESSED A STORY ABOUT BRETT KAVANAUGH’S OPPOSITION TO ROE V. WADE. WE’RE REPUBLISHING IT
Brett Kavanaugh said he would kill Roe v. Wade last week and almost no one noticed-
Editor’s note: On September 9, Think Progress published an article by Ian Millhiser that made text out of the subtext of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process, describing how the Supreme Court nominee, in a fairly straightforward legal analysis, had revealed his belief that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. That legal analysis, the article noted, matched comments Kavanaugh had made in a speech in 2017. “Kavanaugh’s 2017 speech, when laid alongside a statement he made during his confirmation hearing, eliminates any doubt that he opposes Roe,” Millhiser wrote. Facebook, meanwhile, had empowered the right-wing outlet the Weekly Standard to “fact check” articles. The Weekly Standard, invested in Kavanaugh’s confirmation, deemed the Think Progress article “false.” The story was effectively nuked from Facebook, with other outlets threatened with traffic and monetary consequences if they shared it. The story is republished below, with permission from Think Progress, though not from Facebook or the Weekly Standard.

Hmm...tough question but I'll take a crack at it anyway.
Maybe it's evidence that someone named Kavanaugh lied under oath?
Why have the people he supposedly lied to moved on?
Answer: because you're on the kook fringe with this perjury business. Your leaders have moved on to trying to establish credibility for unsubstantiated stuff that may or may not have happened when the nominee was in high school.
I didn't vote for Trump, but elections have consequences. Deal with it.
Why did you name yourself Asscheeks?
Trumpbot.
As a dog whistle for latent homosexuals, why do you ask?

I saw it as a means to assist you in coming out.
The quant guys at work developed an algorithm to predict the question that was most likely to elicit a coming out response from you. I figured I'd give it a shot. The initial data suggests it's remarkably accurate.
Do you have a problem with gay people?
This is getting creepy.
