Do You Believe Gorsuch Really Expressed 'Dismay'?

NYT Report
Cliffs: CNN first, and now other outlets such as the NYT, are reporting that Sen, Blumenthal (D- CT) says that Gorsuch, in a 'private' conversation, was critical regarding DJT's tweets about the judges ruling on his immigration EO.
I have so many problems with this it's not funny; mainly:
1. Blumenthal will vote 'No' on Gorsuch; he has motivation to put his thumb on the scale.
2. Gorsuch is in no position to comment on Blumenthal's claims -whether he was misquoted, whether he was accurately quoted, or whether it's just a bald-faced lie.
3. The MSM and their 'reporting' - proverbial, I know.
Does the PT have any thoughts on this?

Gorsuch Spox confirmed the gist of the conversation. Pretty sure.

It's Blumenthal propaganda first of all.
It's got no context second of all.

I don't think a spokesperson for Gorsuch would confirm he said it if he didn't say it.

If you look from a tactical position, this only makes him more confirmable so it wouldn't shock me.

I'm sure he used the word "dismayed" at some point in their conversation. I'm also sure he did not use it in the context Blumenthal and the media want us to believe.

President Trump's Tweet on this morning:
quote:
Sen.Richard Blumenthal, who never fought in Vietnam when he said for years he had (major lie),now misrepresents what Judge Gorsuch told him?

Bloumenthal lied about VIETNAM, see no reason to pay attention to anything he says

Gorsuch's own communication's lead confirmed it.

Ron Bonjean, who is leading communications for Gorsuch during the confirmation process, confirmed Gorsuch called Trump's tweet about the "so-called judge" "disheartening" and "demoralizing" in his conversation with Blumenthal.

Still got no context.

Here's the context: We have the head of the Executive branch of the Federal Government slandering the Judicial branch, and the newest nomination to join the highest court in America think it's really shitty.
Better? Or is that too difficult to grasp?

The Big D proving he ain't a politician just yet as many said he has become. Still earning my vote.

Ben Sasse has now confirmed he said it as well. Just avfew minutes ago on Morning Joe.

slandering the Judicial branch,
First, it wasn't the 'branch', but specific judges.
Second, they deserved it and more.

Meanwhile, there is no proof of Ginsberg shitting on the president, according to CNN, MSNBC and those three letter nightly news outfits.

Your title needs changing.
It should read,
"Do you believe Democrat Sen. Blumenthal tells the truth?"

Gorsuch Spox confirmed
Of course, I've yet to investigate...

I don't believe LSUTanderine or CNN and I'd prefer to get the entire quote with context. That has not been provided.
Just a reminder that CNN ran with fake news in the past and rigged a debate. There credibility is 0.
