Trump trashing John McCain and Richard Blumenthal (and CNN) in his morning tweets today

Sen.Richard Blumenthal, who never fought in Vietnam when he said for years he had (major lie),now misrepresents what Judge Gorsuch told him?

Chris Cuomo, in his interview with Sen. Blumenthal, never asked him about his long-term lie about his brave "service" in Vietnam. FAKE NEWS!

Sen. McCain should not be talking about the success or failure of a mission to the media. Only emboldens the enemy! He's been losing so....

...long he doesn't know how to win anymore, just look at the mess our country is in - bogged down in conflict all over the place. Our hero..

..Ryan died on a winning mission ( according to General Mattis), not a "failure." Time for the U.S. to get smart and start winning again!

Isn't there a rule against saying mean things about a Senator?

Getting the impression that folks are getting sick of his schtick

McCain and Gorsuch ( whom he does not mention for some reason) are pushing back

Hence calling Blumenthal a liar and calling CNN fake news.

A spokesman for Gorsuch, Ron Bonjean, confirmed to reporters at the time that the nominee made those remarks.


Former Senator Kelly Ayotte confirmed them, too, and she's assisting Gorsuch in the process!
