'Over our dead bodies': Liberals threaten to 'burn it all down' if GOP replace Ginsburg before Election Day
Washington Examiner ^ | 09.19.2020 | Andrew Mark Miller

Former CNN host Reza Aslan joined several other verified Twitter accounts in threatening violence if Senate Republicans attempt to fill the Supreme Court seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“Over our dead bodies. Literally,” Aslan wrote in response to a tweet saying Sen. Mitch McConnell intends to fill Ginsberg's seat, shortly after it was announced Friday that she had died at the age of 87.

Aslan also tweeted, “If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f---ing thing down.”

“If McConnell jams someone through, which he will, there will be riots,” Washington Post and GQ writer Laura Bassett said.

Beau Willimon, a Writer’s Guild of America president, told his roughly 162,000 followers that “we’re shutting this country down if Trump and McConnell try to ram through an appointment before the election.”

Director of Communications at the Anti-Violence Project Eliel Cruz agreed with Willimon’s calls to shut things down by calling on people to march on Washington and “just shut it down ourselves.”

Aaron Gouveia, author of a new book titled Raising Boys To Be Good Men: A Parent's Guide to Bringing Up Happy Sons in a World Filled with Toxic Masculinity, responded to McConnell’s call to fill the vacant seat by tweeting, “F--- no. Burn it all down.”

Writer and LGBT activist Charlotte Clymer opted not to wait until Republicans pushed a Ginsburg replacement through, deciding instead to head straight to McConnell’s home on Friday night.

We’re now walking to Mitch McConnell’s house to protest,” Clymer said before tweeting out the intersection that McConnell allegedly lives on.

“His house is entirely dark,” she said later. “Significant police presence out front. It’s clear that he’s not here, as confirmed by a neighbor who is not fond of him. People are going home.”

They’re going to have the country in flames no matter what Trump does. This is not a threat. It’s a statement of their plans.

All the more reason to confirm the new one ASAP and watch landfills overflowing with liberals’ Depends.

This will all be lost on the left.

With their foot-soldiers gaining relative success out there,
and very little push-back, what did we expect to see more
of?

When insurrections raise their ugly head, you literally
lop the effort’s head off.

Take their leaders and other prominent members down. Throw
the book at them for just cause. Convict them. Lock
them up. Toss away the key.

Protest is one thing. This isn’t a protest effort. It’s
an act of domestic warfare.

I say we change the rules of engagement, and play to win.

This is no different than warfare on foreign soil. You
have to play to win.
