I can’t believe he did it again.
Matt Damon reprised his role as Brett Kavanaugh on Saturday Night Live. This time, the central joke of the unfunny skit was that Kavanaugh, Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel are all drunks. Damon as Kavanaugh was pounding beers and shots while he promised to give Trump a third term. Even the audience of trained seals sounded kind of lukewarm about it.
I have striven not to talk or write about Kavanaugh anymore, even turning down a request that went on for six years to have me submit to a profile. (I eventually did say yes, and when the piece turned out to be too positive, it was spiked.)
So, without retreading old ground the way Matt Damon and SNL are, let me just briefly say for the record and my own edification that Matt Damon is a coward. A truly gutless man who will always take the easy, woke way out. Matt Damon is a punk. He will never face me, a man whose full name he called out on Saturday Night Live, because Damon doesn’t have the stones. The 2018 oppo hit on Brett Kavanaugh and me was a fraud, and instead of making a film about that, Damon punks out and repeats an impression that is almost a decade old and belches up the same old jokes about drinking.
Yes, I’m a conservative, but I can concede that something I might not agree with is funny or entertaining. Alec Baldwin is a great actor. Ditto Meryl Streep. SNL skits like “The Californians” and “Black Jeopardy” are hilarious.
On September 29, 2018, I was sitting in a motel room feeling my life unravel, watching actor Damon yell my name on Saturday Night Live. A little more than a week earlier, the Washington Post published an article in which Christine Blasey Ford, a psychologist in California, tried to ruin my life. Ford claimed that Brett Kavanaugh — nominated for the Supreme Court and about to be voted out of committee — had sexually assaulted her in high school at Georgetown Prep in 1982. Ford claimed that I was in the room where the assault allegedly took place. The whole thing was a setup.
For a short time, I was part of one of the biggest stories in the world, a part of which was Brett being played by Damon on SNL. At one point Damon, as Kavanaugh, names me: “Mark Judge, who can’t remember huge chunks of his life but is somehow my key witness.”
The left has never been able to stop repeating this slander. Damon’s skit was part of SNL 50, the 50th anniversary celebration of Saturday Night Live. Presenting the sketch, SNL says this: “Though Supreme Court nominations can be famously divisive across party lines, Kavanaugh’s nomination made headlines due to a woman’s allegations that he’d sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers. Kavanaugh’s vehement denial of the assault claim, and his response to questions about his past alcohol consumption, turned his Supreme Court confirmation hearing into a high profile event. And so, like so many SNL memorable cold opens that have focused on politics over the show’s 50-year run, ‘Kavanaugh Hearing Cold Open’ found the satire in what was very serious news.”
It also found the funny in what was a fake story and a lot of criminal activity intended to destroy people’s lives.
The Damon Kavanaugh “cold open” has aged poorly, particularly in light of the New York Times reporter coming clean about what was really going on. Yet just as I am encouraging David Enrich to tell the entire story of what “lessons he has learned” and what he “would do differently,”
I wish Matt Damon had the guts to not only imitate Kavanaugh in a skit but to do something genuinely daring – make a film out of my book The Devil’s Triangle. It recounts the evil of the 2018 hit on us, including the extortion, witness tampering, honey traps, and death threats. (Damon can also hit my tip jar.) It’s worth noting that one of Damon’s most famous films The Bourne Identity, was directed by Doug Liman, who last year tried to trick me into appearing in an anti-Kavanaugh documentary. When my book came out disproving the lies that were told about Kavanaugh and me, Liman scotched the production. Because Doug Liman, like Matt Damon, is a coward.
I am hereby officially inviting Doug Liman and Matt Damon to the Ant-Communist Film Festival this October. It’s going to be a truly counter-cultural event that will be attended by men.
