If you want proof you can look it up on Pornhub or the like.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.

If he was given an actual confirmation hearing it wouldn't be too hard to air any actual Garland dirty laundries.

But they didn't subject him to a smear campaign such as this.

Yeah. And somehow that seems preferable to destroying someone's life. Garland can go back to his normal life. Doubt Kavanaugh will have that same luck.
