Trump says that a senator "lied" by reporting that Gorsuch said he was worried about Trump's judicial hostility

President Trump took to Twitter on Thursday morning to deny reports that his Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, has criticized the president’s hostility toward members of the judiciary.

Trump was referring to reports on Wednesday that Gorsuch had spoken against Trump’s demeaning comments about various judges in a conversation with Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal. “He said very specifically that they were demoralizing and disheartening and he characterized them very specifically that way,” Blumenthal told CNN. “I said they were more than disheartening and I said to him that he has an obligation to make his views clear to the American people, so they understand how abhorrent or unacceptable President Trump’s attacks on the judiciary are.”

Blumenthal’s story was later confirmed by Ron Bonjean, who is in charge of communications for Gorsuch’s confirmation process.

Trump has a long history of attacking the judiciary. The incident that Gorsuch is referring to occurred last week, when Trump referred to Judge James Robart as a “so-called judge” after he issued a hold on the president’s Muslim travel ban.

1. well that should keep the issue in the public eye a few more days

sometimes I just cannot believe the stupidity of Traitor Trump. Deep deep dark delusion and self-awareness about his effects on others.

2. Well it's a no no mildly chastising Trashpot when he just picked you to be SCOTUS, therefore the

obvious explanation is that Blumenthal is liar. I wonder is Gorsuch saying to Trashbag...I didn't say that.

I feel like I'm in 8th grade again and there is a bully terrorizing the school and the adults are doing NOTHING about it.

3. Wow. That piece of garbage had the nerve to criticize Blumenthal for Vietnam but

he boasted that "not getting a venereal disease" was his "personal Vietnam"?

He is the vilest thing to ever slither into public office. He makes my skin crawl.
