When [the allegations of sexual misconduct against Alex Kozinski] became public, the first thought I had [was] no one should be subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace ever, including in the judiciary, especially in the judiciary. When I heard, it was a gut punch. It was a gut punch for me. It was a gut punch for the judiciary. I was shocked, and disappointed, angry, swirl of emotions.

—Brett Kavanaugh during Day 2 of his confirmation hearing, responding to questioning from Senator Orrin Hatch about what he knew about allegations against the man he once clerked for, Alex Kozinski.
