ABC News’ “Nightline” made an announcement about President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee on Monday night before the pick had even been announced, calling the unknown nominee “controversial.”

ABC News description of the nominee being “controversial” comes before the 9 p.m. announcement as the Trump administration has kept the identity of the nominee under tight wraps.

Tweeted more than an hour before this “CONTROVERSIAL PERSON” is even announced. Way to go, Nightline. Solid unbiased journalism there! https://t.co/KiMs09cFXd

The President hasn’t even named a nominee yet so it’s very interesting to report them as “controversial.” https://t.co/LwEtUzkU0h

You don’t know who the pick is and he/she is already “controversial?” https://t.co/NnYFcpN1ol
