HALIFAX — A political cartoon depicting the assault of Lady Justice has gone viral in the wake of recent allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. In the picture, the cuffs on the shirt the man is wearing are decorated with the Republican elephant. But MacKinnon said these feelings of disgust are, in some ways, the point of his cartoon. “A political cartoonist does not depict sexual assault casually. The message to the people in power has to outweigh the consequences of drawing something so horrible,” he wrote.
