MSNBC’s Chris Hayes was already expecting President Donald Trump’s speech before swearing-in Justice Brett Kavanaugh to be “bad,” but what happened was “waay waay worse.”

The MSNBC anchor had a meltdown after the president dared to apologize to Kavanaugh and his family over the way he was treated during the confirmation process leading to Saturday’s vote to seat him on the high court.

“I would like to begin tonight’s proceeding differently than perhaps any other event of such magnitude,” Trump said Monday at the ceremonial swearing-in of the Supreme Court Justice. “On behalf of the nation, I want to apologize to Brett and the entire Kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure.”

The well-deserved apology, following a contentious confirmation process that saw Democrats launch a smear campaign against the then-Supreme Court nominee, was not appreciated by the left.

Hayes was among those who had a meltdown over the president’s remarks.

Holy crap.

Apologizing “on behalf of the American people”

Then says he was “proven innocent” https://t.co/vsJYWATobA

The MSNBC anchor continued to tweet his responses during the rest of the ceremony as Kavanaugh spoke following being sworn in by retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.

This is waay waay worse than I imagined and I thought it would be bad.

I now realize this speech is happening to erase the memory of his Thursday performance so it’s not the last thing in people’s minds before he takes the seat on the court.

Hayes alluded to what he fears things will be like with Justice Kavanaugh sitting on the high court.

“All litigants should know I will listen to their arguments with respect and an open mind”

Also, Democrats: you sowed the wind and you will reap the whirlwind!

Just crystallized for me how much this entire thing was a dry run for when Mueller submits his findings.

While there were plenty of liberals to agree with Hayes and give him a sympathetic hug, many mocked the MSNBC anchor on Twitter.

I love watching their heads exploding! ??? #TrumpDerangementSyndrome #MAGA #PromisesMadePromisesKept

This is the funniest thing yet, @realDonaldTrump apologizes to one man and his immediate family and the left loses it, but Obama goes around the world doing the same thing to world leaders and somehow they don’t see an issue at all. Just crazy, lol
