John Bash laid the hammer down on eagle-eyed liberals Tuesday after they accused his wife of making a white supremacist hand gesture during the hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The US attorney said on social media neither he nor his Mexican-Jewish wife, Zina Bash, had a clue as to what the hateful signal stood for until she was suddenly chastised on Twitter for allegedly making it.

Zina, who formerly served as a law clerk for Kavanaugh, sat directly behind him at the court hearing with her arms crossed. Her right hand was seemingly positioned in an 'OK' sign - which is commonly associated with members of the alt-right.

Her furious husband later slammed the claims and said they are 'idiotic and sickening', and added he hopes 'people will clearly condemn' them.

He wrote on Twitter: 'The attacks today on my wife are repulsive. Everyone tweeting this vicious conspiracy theory should be ashamed of themselves.

'We weren't even familiar with the hateful symbol being attributed to her for the random way she rested her hand during a long hearing.

'Zina is Mexican on her mother's side and Jewish on her father's side. She was born in Mexico. Her grandparents were Holocaust survivors.'

Cato Institute fellow, Ilya Shapiro, also chimed in: 'My friend Zina Bash, whose father is Polish-American Jew (whose parents escaped the Holocaust) and mother immigrated from Mexico, is not a white supremacist.'

John went on to assure the public that his family does not take part in hate groups that 'aim to terrorize and demean other people.'

He added straightforwardly: 'Never have and never would.'

President Trump's former associate counsel further said the vicious comments were aimed at his young daughter for whatever reason.

'Some of the Twitter comments have even referred to our baby daughter... I know that there are good folks on both sides of the political divide,' the US attorney concluded in his message.

Harvard Law grad Zina, who is one of four children, has not personally remarked on the matter.

Zina's father Dr Lawrence Richard Gelman met his wife Maria Esperanza in Monterrey, Mexico. They have been married 38 years.

Speaking about his political affiliations he is quoted on empowertexans.com as saying: 'I don't belong to anything, I hate politics…We [as a society] are affected by what goes on in Washington, and Austin; my involvement wasn't intentional, it was more of a self-defense. When you've got your kids, [you] want to try to return the way things used to be, the way things are supposed to be.'

He received his medical degree in anesthesia from the Medical College of Wisconsin and has also penned the book 'The Fall from Grace' in 2014 which explores the 'gradual undermining of American constitutional values by the counter revolutionary forces of fascism.'
