CALVERT COUNTY, Md. (WJZ) — Twenty women staged a silent protest Tuesday, according to The Calvert Recorder. This comes after the commissioners’ president, Evan Slaughenhoupt, tweeted about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

On September 18, Slaughenhoupt tweeted, “I assaulted a young lady; 1st to 4th-grade birthday gauntlet in school. Childhood friend of my affection had a birthday had to run the aisles. As did others, I smacked her on her buttocks. I feel so disqualified for any position today. NOT! Get over it people. Confirm Kavanaugh.”

In protest of his statements, the women sat quietly and somberly during the meeting, The Calvert County Recorder reported.

“We don’t protest Mr. Slaughenhoupt’s support of Kavanaugh, but his flippant attitude about violence against women. Mr. Slaughenhoupt drew a false equivalency between childhood games and alleged attempted rape — implying that such incidents are acceptable childish behavior,” Helen Mary Ball said during the public comment period, the Calvert County Recorder reported

Slaughenhoupt is the same individual who mocked Stoneman Douglas students following the shooting, posted a false conspiracy theory about David Hogg not being present at the school at the time of the shooting, and compared them to Nazis. Here's my post on that:

He is truly a Deplorable in every sense of the word. I see that after his most recent comments, he has since deleted his Facebook and Twitter accounts.
