'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.”

This raises the question, does anybody know what the occupy DC radicals are doing?

If this don’t arouse the Republican base and those “undecided” voters, I guess nothing will. Threats of this magnitude must be answered not only by indictments of those instigating these seditious statements but also by the voters who must not cower like cowards under threats like these.

“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.”

So they plan to riot, burn, and kill on a large scale across America? That will drive the soccer moms right straight to the law and order candidate.

Please do not throw us into that briar patch.

“If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f-—ing thing down.”

Doubt them at your own peril. California knows they are serious and literal (see wildfires)

I didn't buy one of these when I could have gotten one for $2100 because I didn't want to go through the hassle and I thought it was too expensive. Now they're going for $65,000 :(

Good thing for invading rioters I don't have one though though

Lots of violent rhetoric from the Left today. So many of them need to be locked up.

I agree with being over their dead bodies. Just as long as they are dead.
