New York Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand embarrassed herself on national television on Thursday night after she falsely stated that no Democratic senators voted to confirm President Donald Trump's first Supreme Court justice nominee, Neil Gorsuch.

Appearing in CNN's "Cuomo Prime Time" with host Chris Cuomo, Gillibrand falsely stated multiple times that Gorsuch did not receive any Democratic votes and was confirmed with only Republican votes.

After Gillibrand said, "He didn’t get a vote from one Democrat," Cuomo pushed backed, asking, "Are you right that he didn’t get one vote? Didn’t he get three?"

Gillibrand doubled down and continued to repeat her belief that Gorsuch did not receive any votes from Democrats, going as far as to say: "[The Democrats] stood strong and they passed it with Republican votes."

After Cuomo again hinted to her that she was wrong, it appeared as though someone caught Gillibrand's attention off camera and signaled to her that she was wrong.

"You might be right, Chris, but I believe this Democratic caucus will stand together," Gillibrand said after realizing that she was wrong.

The three Democratic senators who voted to confirm Gorsuch were Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and Joe Manchin (D-WV).

CNN's Chris Cuomo had to correct Democrat Senator Kirsten Gillibrand for falsely claiming that no Democrats voted to confirm Neil Gorsuch.

Watch Cuomo's face when Gillibrand makes the claim.

A man had to repeatedly turn around to tell CNN White House correspondent and provocateur Jim Acosta to be quiet after he yelled at President Donald Trump on Friday during a White House tax bill event.

The event was "intended to commemorate the more than six months that have passed since he signed the GOP tax bill into law," CBS News reported.

"Mr. President, will you stop calling us the enemy of the people, sir?" Acosta yelled. "Will you stop calling the press the enemy of the people, sir?"

"Mr. President, will you stop calling us the enemy of the people, sir?" Acosta continued to yell.

The man in front of him repeatedly turned around to tell him to be quiet.

Truly an embarrassment, on multiple levels. Jim Acosta’s self-serving antics give all good journalists a bad name. https://twitter.com/Mediaite/status/1012758206362161152 …

On a day journalists could honor the memory of fellow reporters tragically killed due to a deranged person with a vendetta going back years, Acosta tries to shift the blame to Trump, thus validating many Americans’ feelings about the Acela Media (that existed long before Trump).

"I tried to ask the president if he would stop calling us the enemy of the people," Acosta tweeted. "He did not respond."

"We also had a few folks who shushed is in the audience," Acosta continued. "Of course we are not going to be shushed."

Twitter users quickly criticized and mocked Acosta's misleading tweet:

This is why people don't trust the media. Jim Acosta says he 'asked' the President a question and he wouldn't answer.

The reality: he was shouting in a loud room from fifty feet away. pic.twitter.com/JoBVvxESy7

Trump didn't appear to hear any of the questions we called out to him at the end of the tax reform anniversary event. Notably, when the very friendly audience realized reporters were yelling to Trump, they increased the volume of their applause and whooping to override the press.
