There is probably some truth to the events, but a lot of the personal reactions smack of hyperbole. And third party recollections of hyperbole, which is all we've heard so far, are usually bullshit.

Trump says Google is censoring news

I'll give trump a "True" on that statement. Not one link about the D's plotting to close down the hearing.

From NBC main story, (buried deep):
"A person familiar with the planning for the panel's Democrats said lawmakers agreed to their strategy, which included universal calls for adjournment, on Tuesday morning. A second source familiar with the planning said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., led a call over the holiday weekend to talk through the strategy."

yet on NBC twitter this morning:

Democratic senators opened Kavanaugh confirmation hearing with a protest plan that was coordinated and agreed to over the weekend, people familiar with the planning tell @NBCPolitics.

and:

Sen. Tillis asked: “I’m reviewing a tweet by NBC that said ‘Democrats plotted coordinated protest strategy over the holiday weekend all agreed to disrupt and protest the hearing, sources tell me.’ And, subsequent, ‘Dem leader Chuck Schumer led a phone call, and committee members are executing now.’ So, I just want to be clear: none of the members on this committee participated in that phone call or that strategy before the documents were released yesterday? Are you suggesting that this allegation is false?”

Durbin asked to respond, but merely deflected to the issue of whether the committee had been provided enough documents on Kavanaugh
