Sounds as if the only source for it was a disgraced Democrat Senator Blumenthal who apparentely lied about serving in Vietnam and about being captain of the Harvard Swim Team.

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)

"Judge Gorsuch has made it very clear in all of his discussions with senators, including Senator Blumenthal, that he could not comment on any specific cases and that judicial ethics prevent him from commenting on political matters," Ayotte said. "He has also emphasized the importance of an independent judiciary, and while he made clear that he was not referring to any specific case, he said that he finds any criticism of a judge's integrity and independence disheartening and demoralizing.”

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.

I think we all know what happened - Trump got pissed and talked to Gorsuch, and Gorsuch went to Blumenthal to tell him to retract/clarify.

Go ahead and pretend this is "fake" though.

Sounds as if you didn't read it. It clearly points out there is no proof at all that Gorsuch did say such a thing. And furthermore it's coming from someone who has the low morals to actually lie about serving in Vietnam.

This might be a case of simple "alternative facts" instead of full blown fake news!

Kelly Ayotte confirmed he said it, as did Sean Spicer, they are simply arguing that he did it as a generality, not as specifically talking about one case for legal reasons.

But that like me saying it isnt cloudy outside because i legally cant say that it is sunny. It means the same thing.

Hell, you all didn't even know what happened, as Trump was taking Michigan & Pennsylvania.
To this day you still don't know what happened.

Your assumptions these days, have very little credibility and only resonate your irrelevance.

I don't care whether it's fake news or the God almighty Truth.

What I find factual is the fact that judges are slimy lying scumbuckets who politicize.
