Abstract
ABSTRACT Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation battle challenges traditional rubrics for evaluating apologia. In cases of hyper-partisan apologia aimed at convincing a partisan audience, an alternative framework is needed. We argue that Kavanaugh salvaged his confirmation by conducting hyper-partisan apologia and identify three elements of this strategy. This essay demonstrates the importance of differentiating audiences in analyses of apologia and proposes the existence of a sub-genre of hyper-partisan apologia.
