Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee applauded President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch, for holding his own against an intense grilling by Senate Democrats during his confirmation hearing Tuesday.
“Breaking News! Jimmy Dean Sausage Co will be renamed GORSUCH SAUSAGE because he’s grinding up some Democrat Senators into PURE PORK SAUSAGE!” Huckabee tweeted Tuesday as Gorsuch took part in a confirmation hearing on his nomination.
That tweet was part of a flurry of Gorsuch-related messages from Huckabee. He said Gorsuch looked “very impressive” and that the Democrats “look small and Gorsuch stands tall by separating personal views from the law;it’s what we hope for at SCOTUS.”

He also chided those Democrats who cried foul last year when Republican senators refused to schedule a hearing for Merrick Garland, former President Barack Obama’s nominee in an election year.
“Dems didn’t believe POTUS should appoint SCOTUS in last yr if POTUS was GOP;now they hate it THEIR rule is being applied to THEM. #hypocrisy,” he said.
