Chuck Schumer says he used the wrong words following Supreme Court backlash
CNN ^ | March 5, 2020 | Chandelis Duster

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."

I hope that Senator Schumer doesn’t die of lead poisoning.

“My guess is that nothing will happen as they have one set of standards for us, another for the Dem elite.”

And you would be right.

Schumer had no choice. Rats have to keep their Harridan Corps whipped up to frenzy. Nothing does a better job of that then pro-abortion screeds.

Now do Mad Maxine Waters.
She didn’t threaten the supreme court, but did advocate harassing any conservative.

According to the original 302, the agents who spoke to Flynn, including Strzok, didn’t think Flynn lied - and that was after reviewing a transcript of Flynn’s conversation with Kislyak.

Well yes, Chuckie. There will be consequences if the justices do not reign in abortion.

Since the article chose not to include the words and the venue is CNN it is obvious the inclusion of the words verbatim would settle the issue of whether he misspoke or not, it is clear that it was an intended threat, not a slip of the tongue. He won’t suffer any consequence, as he has CNN doing the obfuscation.
