“... he said that he finds any criticism of a judge’s integrity and independence disheartening and demoralizing.””
Trump did criticize a judge for his independence and integrity. Sounds like Gorsuch is very critical of Trump.
If Gorsuch really feels this way and has any integrity shouldn’t he turn down his nomination?
Gorsuch has stated that his statements during his private conversation with Blumenthal were general comments and did not refer to Trump.
Blumenthal and the media used these two words out of context to misrepresent what Gorsuch said.
Trump said Blumenthal misrepresented Gorsuch’s comments.
Trump is correct.
