Republicans are pointing fingers at Chuck Schumer's 'you will pay the price' comments after the

arrest of an armed man near Brett Kavanaugh's home

Senate Republicans are pointing fingers at Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer after an armed man who made threats against Brett Kavanaugh was arrested near the Supreme Court Justice's home on Wednesday.

"Chuck Schumer called for this violence," wrote Republican Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas on Twitter. "The armed lunatic who showed up at Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home was simply following orders. Justice cannot be served under the threat of mob violence."




Marshall and other Republicans highlighted comments made by Schumer outside the Supreme Court in March 2020 at an abortion rights rally.

"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 at the rally. "You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

I would have thought some sort of weather device or act of God anticipated.


AND VERY LIKELY THIS IS A REICH WING PLANT.


DEMs just aren't into killing people to change their minds. ONCE they are dead, that's a bit of a problem.

Chris Jacobs (R) said he would support common sense gun control after Uvalde

SO they replaced him with a wing nut, Carl Paladino


Carl Paladino, who announced that he’s running for Congress, previously shared a post on Facebook which pushed conspiracy theories about the recent mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas. The Facebook post portrayed the tragedies as false flag attacks meant to help Democrats “revoke the 2nd amendment and take away guns” and claimed “the Texas shooter was receiving hypnosis training” apparently under the direction of the CIA.



SO..... now it's a talking point as if it is God's honest truth

And I wouldn't be surprised if this was a GQP plot (failed) to take attention from the hearings starting tomorrow.

And I'm probably not even cynical enough.

Not that what Schumer said was anything close to a call for violence...

Has turned outrage on them for this gun violence throughout our country. It’s natural for them to point fingers. God I hope this country is still this focused on voting out as many as possible by November.
