Why is the press outside the Kavanaugh Home?

Ashley Kavanaugh's response — treating the press with a dignity they arguably do not deserve in this context — was spot on. She extended grace and hospitality and showed the girls that their family will not be bullied by this hostile mob. She also lived out a key lesson from Romans 12:17-21: "Do not repay evil for evil ... If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
How much damage have the Democrats and their press done to these people?

Brett Kavanaugh's Wife Hands Out Cupcakes to Reporters Besieging Her House
. . . "Indeed, a media stakeout seems unlikely to generate real news. It is likely, however, to traumatize Kavanaugh's children: 10-year-old Elizabeth and 13-year-old Margaret. That's why Ashley Kavanaugh's bravery is such an important part of this story.

"A constant media stakeout in front of the house may put the girls on edge, as it seems their every step is being watched by a hostile press ready to jump on any horrible story about their father it can find.

"In this context, Ashley Estes Kavanaugh went out with cupcakes. This showed the girls — and the world — that the Kavanaughs are not afraid of the besieging hostile press. Instead, the mother of the house extended hospitality to them, bringing them cupcakes — and iconic cupcakes at that.

"CBS News reporters think they're the heroes of the story, ready to pounce on the latest news and willing to sustain a lengthy media stakeout to get the truth. In reality, they're the villains, adding yet more disruption to a family that had to watch more than 200 protesters so angry at their father that they were willing to get arrested, one after another. The press is not afraid to traumatize two young girls whose father has been accused of everything from racism to misogyny to Trump-Russia collusion." . . .
