Conservative LEGEND Antonin Scalia Had A Lot To Say About Trump Before His Death…

Justice Antonin Scalia’s death sent shock waves throughout most conservative circles.

The man was a LEGEND, and his legacy as a thoughtful conservative, loyal to the Constitution and our nation, will live on for generations.

Bryan Garner, who worked on two books with Justice Scalia, released “Nino and Me: My Unusual Friendship with Justice Antonin Scalia” today…and it reveals what Scalia thought of Trump during the 2016 campaign.

According to the Washington Examiner:

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia found Donald Trump’s outspokenness and unfiltered comments as a presidential candidate early in the 2016 campaign to be refreshing, a friend of the late judge revealed in an interview.

“Justice Scalia thought it was most refreshing to have a candidate who was pretty much unfiltered and utterly frank,” Bryan Garner, a lexicographer who wrote two books with Scalia, told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Monday.

Garner, a longtime friend of the late Supreme Court justice, said Scalia liked Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and was also intrigued by Trump.

“But he was fascinated by the fact that Trump was so outspoken in an unfiltered way, and therefore we were seeing something a little more genuine than a candidate whose every utterance is airbrushed,” he said.

So how does Garner know any of this? Well, they certainly spent a lot of time together right before Scalia’s death:

Garner traveled through Asia with Scalia for two weeks before his death in 2016. He has since written a memoir about his friendship with Scalia, called “Nino and Me,” which hits stores Tuesday.

However, while Scalia found Trump’s campaign refreshing, Garner says he cannot speculate what he would think of every move he’s made since:

Though Scalia spoke well of Trump’s candidacy, Garner stopped short of speculating on how he may have viewed Trump’s presidency and the actions he’s taken since the inauguration.

“These [were] early days in the campaign,” Garner told the Wall Street Journal. “It shouldn’t be looked at through the lens of everything that’s happened since.”

That’s fair. I don’t see that as a condemnation, necessarily.  President Trump has done some things very well, and has done others not-so-well. Garner can’t provide Scalia’s posthumous blanket approval for everything he’s done. Nor should he.

Scalia died in February 2016, just one week after he and Garner concluded their trip to Asia.

And if you were wondering, YES, the libs are already triggered…

Y’all know Scalia is dead, right? Is he communicating from the grave?

 Oh… honey. Really? Commenting before you have ANY facts straight usually just makes you look like an idiot.

I suppose one fascist must love another, since they are the only ones who do. #Fauxnewsisfakenews #AmericanFascist

 HAHAHAHA. Ha.

His whole persona is false and hollow. How is this not understood? He is a poisonous fraudulent chameleon and will deceive to gain favor and advance his wealth and feed his own ego. Trump, in a nut shell.

America truly lost a champion when Scalia passed away.
