In answering questions from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Kavanaugh appealed to his upbringing in Washington, D.C. At the time, the city was, in Brett Kavanaugh’s words “the murder capital of the world.”

“I’m a native of this area, I’m a native of an urban-suburban area. I grew up in a city plagued by gun violence and gang violence and drug violence,” Kavanaugh claimed. “So I fully understand, as I explained in the opinion, the importance of this issue. I specifically referenced Police Chief Cathy Lanier’s goals of reducing gang and gun violence was something I certainly applauded but that I had to follow the precedent of the Supreme Court in that case.”

But Kavanaugh is not from Washington, D.C. He’s from in Bethesda, where he attended Mater Dei, a Bethesda-based Catholic prep school before going to Georgetown Preparatory School.

Bethesda is part of Montgomery County, the eighth most-wealthy county in the United States.

Kavanaugh now lives in Chevy Chase, a suburb known for its long history of racism. It’s known as one of the richest and whitest cities in the country.
