Schumer claims he did not make any threats. It’s just that he’s from Brooklyn, and “we speak in strong language.”
Really? Well, here is something else from Brooklyn:
Schumer’s lame attempt to excuse his behavior is inexcusable.
Via NY Post.
Sen. Chuck Schumer on Thursday tried to walk back his threat against two conservative Supreme Court justices — claiming the remarks didn’t come out the way he intended because he was “angry” over abortion rights.
“I’m from Brooklyn. We speak in strong language. I shouldn’t have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.
The New York lawmaker was roundly condemned for remarks he made at an abortion rights rally outside the Supreme Court on Wednesday where he warned Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh would “pay the price” if they voted to restrict abortion….

I’ve been watching and listening to National politics for my entire adult life. I have NEVER heard a direct attack like the one I heard from Schumer. He must be punished for this calculated, deliberate outburst in front of the U.S.Supreme court when the court was in session and hearing the case in question. But here’s ‘the thing’ who is going to drop the hammer on this cockwomble poltroon pillock?

If you don’t believe Schumer’s remarks were a threat, just how can
the Justices pay when they are lifers ?
Shorter Schumer; If you were offended by interpreting my remarks as an attack, I’m not sorry.
Clearly, much work is yet needed for the GOP to grow a spine and do something about this kind of direct threat. This will continue until the GOP pushes back.
