President Donald Trump attacked Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal on Twitter Thursday, just hours after the senator revealed private comments by Trump's Supreme Court pick that were critical of Trump's own attacks on judges.
Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut made headlines Wednesday night when he said Trump's Supreme Court pick, judge Neil Gorsuch, agreed with his own substantial concerns about the president's slams on judges – including one who ruled against Trump's new immigration order.
It was a stunning critique of the president's conduct from the man seeking confirmation to a lifetime appointment to the nation's highest court.
'He said very specifically that they were demoralizing and disheartening and he characterized them very specifically that way,' Blumenthal said following his meeting with Gorsuch.
