Facebook executive Joel Kaplan, already receiving backlash for his support of Brett Kavanaugh, hosted a reception Saturday night to celebrate Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.
The Washington, D.C., event was organized by Kaplan’s wife, Laura Cox Kaplan, and other pro-Kavanaugh women, The Hill reports. About 25 people attended, including Kavanaugh, who was confirmed to the court that day, and his wife, Ashley Estes Kavanaugh.
Joel Kaplan, Facebook’s vice president for global public policy, sat behind Kavanaugh at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing September 27 where Kavanaugh testified in response to Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation that he sexually assaulted her while they were in high school. Many Facebook employees were enraged by what they saw as a gesture of tacit support for Kavanaugh, a conservative jurist who is a close friend of Kaplan’s. They also saw Kaplan as representing the company. |
