A Google employee warned Republicans that they were “finished” just before Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed Saturday by the Senate.

“You are finished, @GOP. You polished the final nail for your own coffins,” Google’s UX design lead David Hogue said Saturday in a now-deleted tweet. “FUCK. 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," he added,

Hogue, who claims to have been working at Google since 2013 on his LinkedIn profile, acknowledged Sunday that he deleted the tweet and should have been “less condemning,” but he added that Republicans were still “wrong.”

“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.”

Google said that comments employees make in a personal capacity don’t influence their operations.

"What employees say in their personal capacity has no bearing on the way we build or operate our products," a Google spokesperson said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.

The Senate voted Saturday to confirm Kavanaugh by a 50-48 margin, following a contentious confirmation process during which Kavanaugh was accused of sexual misconduct by several women. Kavanaugh emphatically denied all allegations leveled against him and an executive summary of a supplemental FBI background investigation found "no corroboration of the allegations" made by two of Kavanaugh's accusers.
