Brett Kavanaugh likes beer. So does Brett Kavanagh. And it's causing some problems.
From the time he was nominated in July, newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh received an avalanche of Twitter hate from those who thought he'd create a conservative majority on the Court. But a lot of it was actually delivered to Kavanagh (note the missing "u"), a 27-year-old Kentucky man who generally only uses Twitter to share what craft beer he's enjoying, the Louisville Courier Journal reports.

Kavanagh, sick of the hateful tweets headed his way, only shared his frustration after he "had a couple of beers," he told the Courier Journal. And soon, his phone was "blowing up" with replies from people who could relate. Anne Cutler, who's mistaken for conservative pundit Ann Coulter, chimed in. A lesser-known Mike Pence and Michael Cohen, mistaken for the vice president and President Trump's former lawyer, respectively, joined the train.
It's been a "crazy couple of weeks," but at least Kavanagh got "this really fun forum" out of it all, he said. Read more about Kavanagh's debacle at the Louisville Courier Journal.
