U.S. Circuit Court Judge Amy Coney Barrett accepted President Donald Trump’s nomination to become the next Supreme Court Justice at the White House Rose Garden Saturday afternoon.
While reporting on the president’s nomination, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer expressed, “Clearly Judge Amy Coney Barrett is highly qualified as a jurist. She has a wonderful, wonderful personal story.”

Meanwhile, Ariane de Vogue, who covers news on the Supreme Court and legal issues for CNN, was shouted down on live TV while she was reporting, by a crowd who was gathered at the Supreme Court in support for Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
“CNN is fake news! Fake News! CNN is fake news!” the crowd yelled while de Vogue was reporting near the steps of the Supreme Court.
Blitzer told the CNN reporter, “Ariane, I want you to stand by. We can barely hear what you’re saying because of the crowd behind you. … Stand by for a moment.” Video Below

“Thank you very much Mr. President.

I love the United States and I love the United States constitution. I am truly humbled by the prospect of serving on the Supreme Court.”
