Pelosi calls Trump's Supreme Court nominee a 'hostile appointment'
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) panned President Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, calling him a "hostile appointment."
"This is a very bad decision, well outside the mainstream of American political thought," she said of newly minted nominee Neil Gorsuch during a CNN town hall Tuesday. "It's a very hostile appointment."
"Elections have ramifications and here is a living, breathing representation of it," added Pelosi.
Pelosi said House Democrats would support their Senate counterparts in how they handle the nomination - some have called expressed openness to his nomination, while others, like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) are already prepared to vote against him.
"Where the Senate leadership comes down is of course up to them. [But] that is our litmus test, the Constitution of the United States."
