Morton's says it has been swamped with fake reservations after it defended Brett Kavanaugh's "right" to "eat dinner.".

Kavanaugh was dining at a DC location when demonstrators gathered outside to protest the overturn of Roe v. Wade.

Morton's this week sent a memo to its restaurant managers telling them to brace for more backlash to its remarks defending the jurist, Politico reported Saturday.

On Wednesday night, Kavanaugh was dining at a Morton's restaurant in Washington, D.C., when protestors learned he was at the establishment.

In addition to the phone calls and phony reservations, the Morton's restaurant where Kavanaugh dined has seen a handful of 1-star Google reviews opposing its initial statement.

President Joe Biden last month signed into a law a bill that affords security to families of Supreme Court justices. »

“The brutal strikes of the Russian artillery in Donbas do not stop for a single day – the Sloviansk direction, Bakhmut, Avdiyivka.”.
