KY Dude Named “Brett Kavanagh” Says Had “Rough Last Couple Of Weeks”

LOUISVILLE, KY. (THECOUNT) — Brett Kavanagh has had a rough couple of weeks. And he didn’t even end up on the bench, like his near-namesake, Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaügh.

Kavanagh, 27, from Louisville, says he never testified before a Senate committee, but, that has not stopped him feeling like he’s been on the hot seat over the last few weeks.

Though this Brett never sat on an appellate court bench or strived to be been confirmed to the Supreme Court, he has still experienced he own share of stress during the other Kavanaugh’s bitter, but winning process.

“I had a couple of beers and I was like ‘You know what, I’m just going to throw this out there,'” Kavanagh said. “I thought to myself, ‘This is a terrible time to be named Brett Kavanagh.”

That irony about the beer isn’t lost on him either.

So he took to Twitter and shared his thoughts. The 27-year-old’s misfortune of having a similar name to a 53-year-old controversial judge went viral, and more than 147,000 people have retweeted and nearly one million have favorited his observation. source

“Dude, it was literally like a machine gun,” Kavanagh said. “It was like my phone caught a virus. It was constantly vibrating.”

Kavanagh is a Louisville resident, and although it is spelled differently (there is no U in Kavanagh’s name), he hasn’t been able to shake the comparisons to the other Brett Kavanaugh, whose controversial nomination has dominated the news cycle for the last four months.

This story is a good example of how ‘stuff’ always flows downstream…
