A group of black pastors has started a petition to urge Congress to censure Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., over his remarks about two Supreme Court justices last week.
Schumer has been under fire from Republicans and some Democrats for comments aimed at conservative Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh during a pro-choice rally that many perceived to be threats.
"Those remarks, made during a rally at the Supreme Court on a pending case, were clearly intended to influence the decision on that case," a petition from the Coalition of African American Pastors addressed to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reads. "This behavior is an affront to the dignity of the U.S. Senate. It perpetuates a sense of division in our nation and encourages radicals to approach political disagreements as a forum for violent action."

Democrats get censured or wrist-slapped. Republicans get mandatory resignation or even jail time.
Agree...When anything that gives them the opportunity to use as a political advantage, the Democrats are on every media outlet and control the cycle. When faced with backlash for their actions, they give a non-apology that blames someone else and move on with life as if nothing happened.
Have to really search for any activity on GOP side of the narrative:

This group is really admirable, but seems to swim against the tide, so I doubt anyone will pay much attention.

But good for them!
What does being black have to do with it? Rangle was censured. Deservedly so. It’s as if the GOP needs black support to do what’s right.
My question would be: why are they the only ones speaking out? A very few senators and a handful of conservatives. Nothing from DOJ.
Being black shouldn't have anything to do with it, for sure. I am glad any association whatsoever is calling for Schumer to be censored. The dirtbag is out spewing his filth just as usual, as if this call to violence against the two Supremes had never happened. He needs to face some music.
Black support for Trump or conservative causes does expose the Loser LIEberals for what they are...

They’re the only group that has enough courage to do it?
Dp-It’s the courage do the right thing. If he mentioned Clarence Thomas the rats would circle the wagons. Think Biden telling the worker where to go.
Have YOU spoken up?
I’ve sent McConnell my personal thoughts that he needs to et on this in the spirit of “Strike while the iron is hot” ‘cuz that “hot” moment is quickly receding into the mists of time.

We are living in very bizarre,if not outright scary times. Yes,we should not fear the fear but the forces creating the fear are pure evil and would like nothing more to go beyond fear into the tangible.
Very reassuring Christian Brothers of mine.
Wake up turtle, pretend you are chuckie, do what he would do if he was in your place and you in his.
