Supreme Court nominee Gorsuch calls Trump's tweets 'disheartening' [More]Commited domestic enemy Blumenthal, looking for anything to dishearten and demoralize Trump supporters over this nomination, presses and presses the guy to get anything that can be interpreted as an exploitable response. And the media is thrilled to spread it.
That said, there are better ways to think on your feet and play coy, and the answer to that line of inquiry bolsters the need to nail Gorsuch down on 2A specifics.
UPDATE: And it turns out that was "fake news"?

We counsel those who wish to carry to guard against "Bad LEO Encounters" by also carrying digital recorders, VOX operated, to secure your (truthful) version of events against the he said/he said contradictions.
Virginia is a one-party consent state, so you always give YOURSELF consent.
As Prager acknowledges, we are in a civil war.
I think Blumenthal was trying not only to drive a wedge between Trump and Gorsuch but to discredit Gorsuch as well. Shoulda known it was a lie. I am reminded of the old saw, "Q: How do you know a politician is lying? A: His mouth is moving."
I'm not sure this counts as "fake news", though.I consider "fake news" to be when a reporter makes things out of whole cloth; or when they take someone's words, lift them out of context, and make them say something diametrically opposite to what the speaker clearly intended. Here we have a government official doing the word twisting and the LSM opportunistically going along with them. Blumenthal "[pressed] and [pressed] [Gorsuch] to get anything that can be interpreted as an exploitable response. And the media is thrilled to spread it."
