Celebrities rushed to social media Tuesday and trashed President Donald Trump’s pick of Judge Neil Gorsuch to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat.
Talk show host and strident anti-Trump critic Chelsea Handler quipped: “Like all arch conservatives, I assume Gorsuch will be celebrating tonight on Grindr,” a suggestion that the Supreme Court nominee uses a gay sex app.

Gorsuch, who was praised by pro-life groups and several conservative lawmakers, was held up by Hollywood’s most famous stars as an “embarrassing” example of the U.S. justice system who has been “trotted out like a game show prize.”
Below is a roundup of the worst personal insults hurled at Judge Gorsuch by some of the biggest names in entertainment.
