Today’s hearing comes as right-wing “dark money” groups have spent heavily in support of Kavanaugh’s nomination. The Judicial Crisis Network spent $1.5 million last week on a 30-second ad featuring Kavanaugh’s longtime friend Louisa Garry. But since the ad aired, Garry has withdrawn her support for Kavanaugh amid accusations by Deborah Ramirez, who says Kavanaugh exposed himself and thrust his genitals in her face during a college party in a dorm room when they were both students at Yale University.
