TIME magazine has released a new cover showing Brett Kavanaugh standing in the shadow of Clarence Thomas.
Both Judge Kavanaugh and Justice Thomas have been accused of sexual misconduct. Both stories about the allegations broke on the eve of the confirmation hearings for them. The cover asks the question, “What’s Changed?”
The article reads in part:
It was a hazy accusation: hesitantly lodged, short on detail and curiously timed. But Ford’s charge shattered Kavanaugh’s carefully crafted tableau, calling into doubt the image he projected. The row of young girls, legs bare in their private-school skirts, looked different now.
The promotion of the article calls the once certain Kavanaugh nomination “the ultimate test of political power in 2018.”
