Why does this Chuck Schumer interview sound like a threat to Republicans? "Either change their vote or face the consequences"

Those freedom-loving Democrats are at it again. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing allegations that he has been coordinating with far-left activist groups to generate unrest and stage protests against Republicans.

In an appearance on PBS, Schumer made what certainly sounded like threats against Republicans voting in favor of the Trump administration's attempts to cut wasteful federal funding.

We are mobilizing in New York. We have people going to the Republican districts and going after these Republicans who are voting for this and forcing them to either change their vote or face the consequences.

This is a long, relentless fight that we fight every day. And I am confident that we will bring Trump's popularity, numbers and strength down if we keep at it, and keep at it, and keep at it.

As reported by The New York Post, one Republican Congressman accused Schumer of working with groups of extreme left protesters to intimidate and threaten opponents.

Protesters disrupted a private luncheon hosted by the Rockland Business Association on Thursday, targeting one of the speakers, Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., over Republican efforts to cut federal spending.

A video obtained by Fox News Digital shows the protesters, who had bought tickets to the event, screaming, 'Lawless Lawler' while holding up a sign that read, 'Elon's Puppet' in an apparent reference to cost-cutting efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The disruption quickly turned physical as the protesters wrestled with the event attendees, who were trying to put an end to the disruption.

The incident — and Schumer's threats — even caught the attention of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who made a plea to stop the madness:

Early Nazis before they had a legislative majority used to patrol the entrances to the Reichstag and brandish revolvers to intimidate legislators.

He’s an old hand at this unseemly and thinly veiled threat crap...

“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you. So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this.”

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

“It’s much, much better not to be in the middle of a shutdown, which would divert people from the number one issue we have against these bastards! They’re ruining democracy!”

“Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the Republicans are doing it all for one simple goal: they’re trying to give their billionaire buddies a tax break and have you, the American people, pay the cost.”

Isn’t this is a pattern with Schumer, making threats?

Schumer is just trying to get his radical street creds back. Should it amount to more than that, he needs a visit from the DOJ.

Chuck gets the mob fired up. They both need suing until they’re holding up cardboard signs on the street corner.

Seems to me the Republicans should propose to do away with the filibuster in response

On the nose. We’re undergoing changes that are digging out DECADES of corruption. Trump put his people in place to shake loose the deep state actors that hampered his first administration. The FBI and CIA that did the dim’s bidding have been shown the door. Well..,still in process, but certainly the pillars of corruption and their financing thru USAID and ngos have been dealt a seismic blow.

This isn’t your grandfather’s Rubicon.

It is because it IS a threat. When he made his “Six ways from Sunday” threat, it was exactly that. He knew what they were going to do to General Flynn and to Trump.

We do not listen to him at our own peril.
