US Attorney John Bash defends wife against claims she flashed white supremacist symbol during Brett Kavanaugh hearing
Zina Bash was caught on camera flashing an 'OK' symbol, which is considered to represent 'white power' and is commonly associated with members of the alt-right
US Attorney John Bash has come out to defend his wife from claims that she purposely flashed a white supremacist symbol during the hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. In an incident that went viral on social media, Zina Bash was caught on video flashing what appeared to be the 'OK' sign — one that has been commonly associated with members of the alt-right.
Zina was present at the event because of her connection to Kavanaugh. She was formerly a law clerk for the Supreme Court nominee and was seated directly behind Kavanaugh at the hearing, putting her in clear view of the cameras. The symbol was noticed by a few eagle-eyed netizens who did not take it to it too kindly.
