Justice Neil Gorsuch Accused of Campaigning for Senator Mitch McConnell [View all]

That tweet links to an Associated Press article in the Daily Camera. The article focuses on a speech Gorsuch gave in Louisville, Kentucky as to why it’s important that judges have a limited and conservative role in deciding what the law is.

Louisville is McConnell’s hometown and he was in the audience for the speech–a few feet away from the Supreme Court Justice. The speech was given at the University of Louisville, which is McConnell’s alma matter. And, before addressing the crowd, Gorsuch was introduced by the Senate’s top Republican.

McConnell said, of Gorsuch, “I could not have been happier [when he was nominated.] I knew he’d be great for our country.”

Gorsuch’s appearance with McConnell is apparently one of many as two are touring the Bluegrass State together. Later that same night, the pair held an event at the University of Kentucky in Lexington.

The article referenced by Pieklo doesn’t explicitly refer to the Gorsuch-McConnell statewide team-up as campaigning, however it does go on to suggest the political nature of the joint show-boating:
