Schumer Remark About Kavanaugh Does Not Age Well After Justice Was Threatened Near Home

A comment made by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) aged poorly after a Supreme Court justice was threatened.

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” Schumer said in March 2020 as the justices were hearing arguments in a Louisiana abortion case.

He added, “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

The Washington Post reported a California man “carrying at least one weapon near Brett M. Kavanaugh’s Maryland home has been taken into custody by police after telling officers he wanted to kill the Supreme Court justice, according to people familiar with the investigation.” – READ MORE
