Former South Carolina GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy is calling out the media for their “overtly partisan” coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court.
During a segment on his Fox program “Sunday Night in America,” Gowdy accused the mainstream media of reducing serious and complex legal issues to a “provocative headline and tweet.”
Gowdy said he believes court-packing “was and remains a terrible idea,” and chastised the media for its unabashedly partisan coverage on matters relating to the high court.
“To the media, just try to at least fake being fair,” he said. “The way you frame issues and court decisions is overtly partisan. It sews the seeds of discord in our country. It treats serious and complex legal issues with a provocative headline and a tweet.”
Gowdy argued that the media portrays conservative justices as though they’ll use the bench to “restrict, deny and limit.”
