NBC News reports:
The father of a student killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting earlier this year attempted to shake the hand of Brett Kavanaugh during the judge’s first day of Senate confirmation hearings to the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.
A video of the moment shows Guttenberg approach Kavanaugh, and the father appears to speak to the judge. Still images of the moment show Guttenberg with his hand extended as he and Kavanaugh appear to lock eyes.
Just walked up to Judge Kavanaugh as morning session ended. Put out my hand to introduce myself as Jaime Guttenberg’s dad. He pulled his hand back, turned his back to me and walked away. I guess he did not want to deal with the reality of gun violence.

As Judge Kavanaugh left for his lunch break, an unidentified individual approached him. Before the Judge was able to shake his hand, security had intervened. https://t.co/ylOhtA1s6G

Incorrect. I was here all day and introduced by Senator Feinstein. No security involved. He turned and walked away.

Wow, here you can hear @fred_guttenberg telling Kavanaugh that his daughter “was murdered in Parkland,” and Kavanaugh whirls and walks away pic.twitter.com/VdkTij2Vdp

There’s footage, dummy. You really think no one is taking pictures AT A PUBLIC SCOTUS NOMINATION HEARING? pic.twitter.com/My7VXjOBUW
