On February 15, 2018, the web site [[BuzzFeed]] reported that Giampietro had made negative remarks about "calls for diversity", birth control, and gay marriage in blog comments and radio interviews. A spokesman for U.S. Senator [[Tammy Baldwin]] called the statements "extremely troubling" and complained that they had not been provided to the Wisconsin Federal Nominating Commission, a bipartisan commission which vets federal judicial nominees.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/one-of-trumps-judicial-nominees-once-wrote-that-diversity|title=One Of Trump's Judicial Nominees Once Wrote That Diversity Is "Code For Relaxed Standards"|first=Zoe|last=Tillman|website=BuzzFeed|date=February 15, 2018 }}</ref> In response, Giampietro released his application to the Wisconsin federal nominating commission, which shows what questions he was asked by the state's federal nominating commission and the answers that he provided. Giampietro's supporters, including the [[Catholic League (U.S.)|Catholic League]], have said they believe criticisms of his past comments have to do with his Catholic faith.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Glauber|first1=Bill|last2=Bice|first2=Daniel|title=Trump nominee Gordon Giampietro releases application in response to critics of his views|url=https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2018/03/01/trump-nominee-gordon-giampietro-releases-application-response-critics-his-controversial-views/385686002/|access-date=March 9, 2018|publisher=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel|date=March 1, 2018}}</ref> |
