CNN of course parrots it as fact.

Trump Goes After Phony Vietnam Hero Senator Blumenthal for Remarks about SCOUTUS Pick Gorsuch

UPDATE: Blumenthal admits to misspeaking about service, claims 'unintentional' 'misplaced words' (with video)

Misspeaking? How can one claim service in a war zone only to later say he "misspoke"?

What a filthy dog pig of a man. New York sure knows how to pick em!

Who is the actual source? I'm not talking about all the subsequent commentary, but the source. Only Blumenthal? He's a known liar.

So why does this story come from Blumenthal, a known liar?

The truth is the statements made by Gorsuch. He put down the POTUS and will be asked in his hearing's. The man should not be confirmed.

The statements were verified by the Senator walking him through the process as well as others. So the top liar in the country has no standing when it comes to lying.

" WoW! Claim That Gorsuch Criticized Trump's Tweets as "demoralizing” and “disheartening" were FAKE "

The democrats and the media constantly tag team each other, so this is not surprising. I'm sure that Gorsuch does defend his branch of the government. I
know that Blumenthal is not exactly honest. And of course, the media pieces their stories together with it's agenda.

Are you talking about Blumenthal? He's a known liar. He lied about "serving" in Vietnam.

Statement from Republican Kelly Ayotte from FoxNews. Only someone incapable of or unwilling to read between the lines would categorize the story as fake news, the op being such a person.

"reading between the lines" ie putting your own spin on what someone has said, is exactly how fake news is created. For example, I can say that Gorsuch bashed Abraham Lincoln for criticizing Chief Justice Roger Taney's decision in the Dred Scott case in 1857. Same thing.

To me the important thing, assuming the 'news' is in some way genuine, is that it puts the lie to the meme of President Trump being the new Hitler or Pol Pot. Were that true, does anyone have any doubt that President Trump would have withdrawn Judge Gorsuch's nomination by now?
