Accused rapist Brett Kavanaughs high school, Georgetown Prep, tweeted congratulations to its famous alum on Saturday night.
The Honorable Brett Kavanaugh 83 has been confirmed by the United States Senate to serve on the Supreme Court, the school said.
The school linked to a press release in which it fawns over Kavanaugh, omitting any mention of his drunken antics and alleged assaults while attending the school.

Among those not pleased were other alums who said Kavanaugh should have withdrawn.
Class of 97 here. Not happy about this. I hoped he would withdraw.

Others talked about relations from Kavanaughs yearbook, including allegations of racism involving Kavanaughs close friends which have not been publicized.
Some of Kavanaugh's classmates, including his best bud and workout partner Tobin, reference 'Ridge Klux Klan' in their yearbook. During that time, there were KKK rallies in Rocky Ridge, MD. Did @georgetownprep students attend one of these rallies? And if not, what does it mean? pic.twitter.com/lpcT5LVG5a

They should be ashamed, especially as a Jesuit school, of what this alums desire for his own power has done to our country. There are plenty of other equally conservative judges that would not have behaved as he did in hs, college, and at the hearing. Disgusting

For a Catholic school that allowed the most vile yearbook Ive seen,the schools reputation is tarnished,its not to smart to make a big deal out of a man who graduated from a school that says what happens at GTprep,stays at GTprep shame on you shame on you!!

Celebrating the alumni credibly accused of attempted rape in a frat house rape culture is tone deaf as all hell, but Ill commend you for being honest about your pride in your own self-serving doucheness.

I wonder what his drinkin pal Mark Judge said to the FBI? Lets guess: Bretts an honorable guy and I dont remember anything since 1980. Oh, and that book I wrote had nothing to do with Brett or my other brewski buds from the estimable Catholic high school Georgetown Prep.
