Chuck Schumer says he used the wrong words following Supreme Court backlash

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday said he used the wrong words in his comments about Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch outside the Supreme Court on Wednesday, saying they were not a threat.

Schumer's remarks on the Senate floor came after a slew of condemnations coming from Republicans -- including some who want to censure the New York Democrat -- and a rebuke from the high court's chief justice.

"Now, I should not have used the words I used yesterday. They didn't come out the way I intended to," Schumer said Thursday morning. "My point was that there would be political consequences, political consequences for President (Donald) Trump and Senate Republicans if the Supreme Court, with the newly confirmed justices, stripped away a woman's right to choose."

Upchuck realizes he messed up and now is doing damage control. My guess is that nothing will happen as they have one set of standards for us, another for the Dem elite.

One Supreme assassination attempt and he’s toast in politics (and on corporate boards). And we know what hotheads Democrats are.

Simple slip of the tongue.

Haven’t we all accidentally mixed our words and incited a crowd of radicals to murder judges.

There are no accidents when it comes to revealing the real motives of the heart. If Upchuck Schumer had not meant for the words to escape his mouth, he would not have been thinking it all along.

Translation: “I was caught up in the fury of my moment, and I forgot to put a political filter on my threats. I said what I really meant, and I should have vieled them better”

No. This evil POS said EXACTLY what was on his mind.
Chucky holds the esteemed position of “high priest” amongst the devil worshippers of the abortion god, Molech.
He meant every word he said. NOBODY has the balls to challenge him on it...nobody. Yeah, they’ll spew some tough words to calm down the “unwashed masses”, but NOBODY is going to seriously challenge this SOB.
He should have been given a choice: resign immediately or face full prosecution.

Imagine if a GOP US Senator had made exactly the same comments, naming RBG and Sotomayer over their expected votes against gun control...

Let him tell it to a judge after he has been arrested and charged with making terrorist threats.

Flynn and Stone used the wrong words too, and look what has happened to them.

Sounds like the story of the guy who was talking to a close friend about his troubled marriage.

Husband: “I meant to say, ‘Honey, please pass the butter,’ but that’s not what came out.”

Friend; “Well, what did you say?”

Husband: “I said, ‘You fat ugly bitch, you’re ruining my life.’”

Nice try, Chuckie. But SCOTUS judges are there for life. There ARE no political consequences.

Here’s the home version of our game, thanks for playing!
