Last night, Fox's "Family Guy" rehashed the nearly 8-year-old lies against Brett Kavanaugh in an episode mocking the Supreme Court justice as a rapey alcoholic.
In the episode "Drunk With Power," Kavanaugh comes for a tour of the brewery where Peter Griffin (Seth MacFarlane) works. Kavanaugh and Peter are soon behaving like drunk teenagers together.
Peter wakes up and discovers that Kavanaugh has swapped lives with him. He leaves a note for Peter that includes a "joking" sexual assault reference.

As a Supreme Court justice, Peter has to decide a gay marriage case. He thinks the court should ban all marriage instead. The scene mocks Clarence Thomas' wife, Virginia, as a crazy woman who Thomas secretly hates.
Back in Rhode Island, Kavanaugh decides he wants to return to DC again. Peter's friend Quagmire thinks Kavanaugh is too creepy even for him.
In the end, the Court decided not to repeal the current gay marriage ruling. "You want to take away their freedom? Let them get married!" Peter argues to the justices.
For satire to work, it has to have some basis in reality. The episode relies on fake narratives that nobody outside a far-left bubble actually believes. The claims against Kavanaugh were so clearly manufactured in 2018 that the smear campaign against him cost Democrats critical Senate seats.
As for the portrayal of Thomas' marriage, it is well known in Washington, D.C. that Clarence Thomas and his wife Virginia adore each other and that she is a loving presence in his life.
Why is creator Seth MacFarlane digging out an 8-year-old smear job that the country long ago rejected? Episodes like this feel tired and old. The left is so defeated that even Democratic stalwarts like MacFarlane have run out of fresh political jokes.
