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:

[Taxman]

He is a bully and a coward!

He has never been knocked on his ass, either for real or metaphorically.

If he keeps up that line of rhetoric, perhaps our new AG will take care of some business?

That is how Schumer talks. He threatens his opponents with physical arm or threatens to expose is opponents’ evilness. he claims to have secret information. He is a blowhard fraud.
