'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.”

“We will riot if you hold a vote”
“We aren’t holding a vote”
“We will riot anyway!!!”

Never give into threats from terrorists.

and this is why any scaredy cat Republicans or Independants who is kinda of wanting Biden to win to stop the loons on the left from rioting are dead ass wrong. These people now will use any legitimate political disagreement to riot IF IT WORKS. So far it has, because they are getting away with it, while people who are defending themselves are arrested. Bailed out, to go burn and loot some more.

1. When the tree needs watering, we have to keep track of the blue checkmarks.

2. Is Reeza in the country legally? If not, why is he still here?

Starting to sound like their standard, go-to method of government.

"Gun control NOW ... or we burn it all down!"
"Tax the Rich ... or we burn it all down!"
"Unlimited Abortion ... or we burn it all down!"
"Pedophile's Rights ... or we burn it all down!"
"Universal Welfare ... or we burn it all down!"
"Green Energy ... or we burn it all down!"
"Reparations ... or we burn it all down!"
"Free Housing for all ... or we burn it all down!"

I could go on forever with these unreasonable demands - immigration, education, unionism, anything the party agrees with that you can talk a mob into wanting. I ask you - does this sound like representative government?

“We’ll burn it down!”
You’ve been doing exactly that in your own liberal run communities.

“We’ll riot!”
You’ve been doing that too, in your own liberal run communities.

“Over our dead bodies!”
If you insist.

These blue check twittering armchair PROPAGANDIST aren’t hitting the street. You won’t find a single man among them, but they are eager to coax others into harms way.

“burning it ALL down” indicates a crime crossing state borders and is therefore a federal crime. Can’t Trump call in the armed Forces to protect the Constitution?

Are we giving up our country with too little resistance?
