Amid all that Brett Kavanaugh has been subjected to in his nomination to the US Supreme Court, a small gesture by his wife has silenced critics with its class.
As the press besieged the Kavanaugh home, ready to pounce on any move by the nominee, his wife Ashley Estes Kavanaugh made it clear her family was not intimidated and would rise above the circus atmosphere.
CBS News reporter Kathryn Watson revealed the hospitality that was displayed by the judge’s wife as she handed out cupcakes from Sprinkles, an iconic cupcake shop first founded in Beverly Hills, California.
Per our CBS News cameraman at Kavanaugh’s house, his wife handed out cupcakes from Sprinkles to any of the photogs and producers who wanted them.

As attacks against Kavanaugh have devolved into labeling him everything from a racist to a misogynist, his wife’s generosity is a striking lesson for their daughters, 10-year-old Elizabeth and 13-year-old Margaret. As accusations are hurled at their father daily, and allegations of sexual misconduct from nearly four decades ago have been leveled against him, Kavanaugh can be proud of the dignity his wife brought to an otherwise hostile environment outside the family’s front door.
Many applauded the gesture and Kavanaugh’s wife as a “class act.”
Well, she’s showing more class than the press hanging out at his house. #Kavanaugh https://t.co/24dMwJ8Xc4

That was very gracious of her. This must be hard on her and the children.

Imagine being that sweet to people who are actively trying to destroy your family by any means necessary.

Imagine being the kind of human who passes out $5 cupcakes to the enemy. This family is too pure. Get your crew off their lawn.

But Watson’s tweet triggered a backlash as Twitter users demanded to know why the media was parked outside of the Kavanaugh home.
“Why are you at his house?” PJ Media’s Sean Medlock, under the pseudonym Jim Treacher, tweeted, launching a debate.
Why are you at his house?

What do they think is going to happen at his house?

And while the media stakeout has not afforded the bombshell that reporters think they are going to land, it hasn’t stopped them
The only question for many on Twitter was whether or not the so-called unbiased press was also stalking others in the Kavanaugh story.
Stalking this mans wife and children was something even I didn’t think the press was low enough to do. Glad to know this is where we are.

How about the crew outside Keith Ellisons house? You guys are covering that too, right?
— This Guy (@cl4t40) September 18, 2018
Why is @CBSNews stalking them? Also, is there a camera crew at the resident of @keithellison, deputy chair of the @DNC? Asking for those of us who like balanced journalism.
