Republicans have been highlighting a past video of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) warning Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh he will “pay the price” in the wake of a would-be assassin being arrested outside the judge’s home.
The video of Schumer is from a 2020 protest outside the court. Schumer spoke to the crowd of activists as the judges heard a case on a Louisiana law restricting abortion access. The armed man who was arrested outside Kavanaugh’s Maryland home this week reportedly told police he was angered by a recent opinion draft leak out of the Supreme Court suggesting Roe v. Wade could potentially be overturned.
In his 2020 comments, Schumer named both Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and said they could release a “whirlwind” when it comes to abortion.
“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,” Schumer said.
Schumer’s “pay the price” line earned a rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts at the time, referring to it as a “threatening statement.”
Clips of the words are being heavily shared by Republican lawmakers and conservative activists in the wake of the arrest, with many arguing Schumer’s language very well could have helped radicalize people now incensed all over again with the draft leak.
“Chuck Schumer called for this violence. The armed lunatic who showed up at Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home was simply following orders,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) tweeted.
“The Left needs to condemn ALL violence and stop the #DemocratDoubleStandards and hypocrisy,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) added.
“And he is leading the Senate? Reprehensible,” Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) wrote.
If I had Musk’s money I’d run that on all the nightly news programs with a reporter talking about the arrest, then I’d play the Psaki podium quote saying Biden encourages this.
As they should. Democrats pull this stunt any time one of their people gets so much as a dirty look.
Remember Sarah Palin and the “crosshairs” crisis?
Glad they got the nut, but this couldn’t have come at a better time with the show trials starting Thursday.

I don’t know if Schumer is the biggest Dem POS in the Congress, that honor goes to Swalwell. But Schumer is definitely in the top 10.
Arrest, citizens arrest, I don’t care. He instigated this. IK prefer Citizens SWAT Raid. Like Roger Stone, but amped up 100% and gunfire if he even blinks.
Good!!! Long past time we play the lefts game
I’ve thought Schumer was scum as far back as the Waco House hearings.
Chuck should be arrested and sent for a psychological evaluation
At least Harry Reid was clever enough to pull his crap in the well of the Senate.
Schumer was not speaking in the Senate chamber.
Pouncing.
“The Left needs to condemn ALL violence”
Like a life’s loser back in high school. Enjoys being a brute but calls for civility as soon as someone else clenches their fist.
No even better, on the steps of the Supreme Court.
(“Chuck Schumer called for this violence. The armed lunatic who showed up at Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home was simply following orders,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) tweeted.)
(from the article)
And Schumer…..just like the Clintons, Podesta’s, Sussman and Clinesmith, laughs at it all
Republicans Pounce.
Not rebuking the criminal but blaming Republicans for the outcome.
This guy is 1000 times more guilty of inciting violence than lefty claims about Trump.
Bttt.
