We do know Gorsuch should learn a lesson about trusting these people.
Pleased DJT reminded all Blumenthal flat out lied about Nam.
I heard this tweet this morning, while in the shower.
Trump makes my day with how he hits back at the bullies.
You can’t help but chuckle for a while after these go out.
I think Republicans and Gorsuch’s own people have confirmed the comments Blumenthal quoted are accurate.
If Trump said it that’s good enough for me! Now spineless Republicans get your a$$e$ in gear and start the process of sitting him in the Supreme Court! GET’ER DONE!!!!
Both Bloomberg and the Guardian, that I have seen, are reporting that Gorsuch’s spokesman (the uber-GOPe operative Ron Bonjean (https://twitter.com/ronbonjean?lang=en)) last night confirmed Gorsuch’s statements.
So maybe Trump is on to the perfidy of Ryan and McConnell and Priebus (and maybe Pence), after all?

What’s demoralizing is that the judiciary has become a political arm of the government.
Gorsuch had to tell the President what he actually said.
I think the President should make the following statement.
************************************************************
I have always have had respect for the opinions of those I choose to represent me or work in any capacity in my area of responsibility.
One of the things I am most interested in when choosing an individual for a position is their ability to speak honestly and to feel free to express there beliefs. While I may not agree with all they say, and I often do not, I nonetheless look upon this strength of conviction as a very necessary quality in anyone I consider.
Judge Gorsuch remains in my opinion the very best man suited for the position of Justice on our Supreme Court and I strongly support him now as I did before.
Personally, I am so glad that Blumenthal came out with this statement, as it gave Trump a chance to remind everyone of Blumenthal’s lies about serving in Viet Nam.
You can count on Gorsuch being asked about this in his hearings. He would have been asked about the tweets without having said anything. It will all come out.
Wouldn’t be surprised that Gorsuch said what he is accused of saying. After all, isn’t it a fact that the pubbies often get screwed on their SCOTUS picks.
Should have checked with Gorsuch before putting out that tweet. Later reports say Gorsuch confirmed the words and was OK with them going public.
Trump really has to stop using his gut reactions and make sure he is on firm ground or he risks being portrayed as a dummy who is simply trying to cover up for a bad choice of words (so-called judge)in his original tweet.
Now he has two bad tweets on one subject. No way to run a country.
