By Friday morning, Donald Trump Jr. also took aim at the man his father had nominated.

“The left broke Kavanaugh,” Trump Jr. said. “That was always their intention and it worked. They turned him into a Roberts.”

Later Friday, perhaps Trump’s likeliest successor as a GOP presidential nominee, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), joined in.

“Honestly, Roberts and Kavanaugh didn’t have a backbone on that decision; that’s the bottom line,” said DeSantis, who has been among the GOP’s foremost critics of vaccine mandates.

So that’s the most popular conservative cable news host, the former president’s own son, and perhaps the most ascendant non-Trump Republican in the country all going after Kavanaugh in very pointed ways, suggesting that he has effectively caved to pressure from the left.
