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?
“Sen. Kelly Atyotte, who is leading the charge to help confirm Gorsuch, put out a statement Thursday morning that attempted to clarify Gorsuch’s comments. “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.””
Senator Blumenthal and the media clearly misrepresented Gorsuch’s statement.
Trump is correct.
