Irish American actor John Cusack claims that one of the worst parts of the Brett Kavanaugh controversy is that "he's an Irishman."

Actor John Cusack has taken to Twitter to bemoan the Irish roots of controversial Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The Senate called for the investigation and a delay in Kavanaugh's nomination vote after hearing testimony from both Ford and Kavanaugh last Thursday. 

After the emotional hearing, Irish American Cusack took to the social media platform to claim that Kavanaugh was one of the "right-wing Irish bullies."

"The worst part of this is he’s an Irishman - man when we break bad - we suck -" he tweeted, adding that he hated "right-wing Irish bullies" when questioned by a follower. 

Kavanaugh is known is have played GAA and visited Ireland in his youth, referring to a trip there in a 1982 letter published by the New York Times on Tuesday.
