A senior designer at Google launched into an anti-Republican rant over Twitter as Brett Kavanaugh was sworn on to the Supreme Court on Saturday.
Dave Hogue, who identifies himself as a lead user experience designer, told GOP senators ‘f*** you all to hell’ after they voted to add Kavanaugh to the court.
Hogue, whose Twitter feed is filled with anti-Trump and Republican-bashing messages, has since deleted the tweet and apologized for his language – but stood by the emotion behind his message.
The message comes amid accusations from Republicans and President Trump that online giants such as Google are biased against them.

Hogue’s initial tweet was posted around 2pm on Saturday, in which he wrote: ‘You are finished, GOP. You polished the final nail for your own coffins.
‘F***. YOU. ALL. TO. HELL.
‘I hope the last images burned into your slimy, evil, treasonous retinas are millions of women laughing and clapping and celebrating as your souls descend into the flames.’
After the tweet was picked up by conservative news outlets Hogue deleted it, but uploaded a second message the following day in which he defended himself.
He said: ‘Yes, I deleted that tweet. Yes, those opinions are mine personally, and I am responsible for them. Yes, I should have been more eloquent and less condemning.
‘Yes, I still believe the @GOP is wrong and not serving your best interests. Yes, I still believe we can do much better.’
A Google spokesman didn’t comment on Hogue’s rant, other than to say employee’s personal views ‘have no bearing on the way we build or operate our products.’
