Thanks to our tweeting president, I now know that the fake news story about Gorsuch was started by a senator who lied about serving in Vietnam.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal may have thought he put his “stolen valor” controversy to rest during an apologetic press conference in 2010.

Then President Trump picked up his cellphone.

Trump on Thursday morning hit Blumenthal for allegedly exaggerating details of a conversation with Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch – while shining a light on the seven-year-old uproar over the Connecticut Democrat's apparent misrepresentation of his military service.

“Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who never fought in Vietnam when he said for years he had (major lie), now misrepresents what Judge Gorsuch told him?” Trump tweeted. “Chris Cuomo, in his interview with Sen. Blumenthal never asked him about his long-term lie about his brave ‘service’ in Vietnam. FAKE NEWS!”

Quote:Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Wednesday that Judge Neil Gorsuch, Trump's nominee, told him he found Trump's attack on a federal judge on Twitter "disheartening" and "demoralizing."

Within a half-hour, Gorsuch spokesman Ron Bonjean, who was tapped by the White House to head communications for Gorsuch, confirmed that the nominee, Gorsuch, used those words in his meeting with Blumenthal. Several other senators, including Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, later relayed similar accounts of Gorsuch forcefully criticizing Trump's public attacks on the judiciary branch.

I wish our president wasn't such a petty, vindictive little man.

I admit that i sorta love that he keeps calling out liars for what they are.

It is nice to see someone call out the media when they misrepresent something

There's a difference between using those words in a meeting, and using those words to describe what Trump said. The difference is about the same as saying you served in vietnam when, in fact, you got your ass deferred from serving multiple times.

Why do you guys have a hard time determining what a lie is, and what its not?

If he wasn't dealing in a world of people who are petty and vindictive towards him then I would agree with you.

With all the crap being thrown at him by you leftists it tickles the hell out of me he is throwing it back in your faces. The left has so far jumped the shark with all of its lies about Trump, he needs to fight back.

So he didn't use those words to describe Trumps tweets? The Gorsuch spokesman appointed by the WH and the Republican senator who confirmed the account are lying too?

Oh it's petty, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

Yep. For too long Liberals have been able to make up and say whatever the hell they wanted to say with no repercussions because Republicans were too worried about offending the moderate middle en route to losing elections. And it's not like the main stream media would put down the pom-poms long enough to actually do their job.

The liberal elite have absolutely no idea what to do now that they're being publicly called out on it.

Me too, I've felt the same way about Harry Reid and Chuck-e Schumer for the past decade or so.

The POTUS has been caught lying over and over again. When are you going to call him out on it?

Does it matter? Do you need to be fully vetted before posting here?

I saw a question that I had an answer to and provided it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Okay, smarty pants. Since you decided to stick your nose in a conversation that didn't involve you, provide a link (and a reputable one at that) that lists all of the times Obama lied.

Obama’s lies kill public’s trust

I came across this some time ago. Thought it might be useful.
