One restaurant has issued an apology after what many have called a tone-deaf promotion duringthe testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Fordin the confirmation hearing ofJudge Brett Kavanaughto the U.S. Supreme Court.
In a since-deleted tweet, Shaw’s Tavern in Washington, D.C. wrote: “Open at 10 a.m. for the hearing. Bar service starts at 11 a.m. with bottomless mimosas.”
