Halloween may have come a little early for Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York as his words came back to haunt him on Friday the 13th. Remember last year when a draft of the Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked, causing leftists to lose their collective head? Large groups of protesters gathered outside the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices for weeks, disrupting their lives and upsetting their families. Authorities even foiled an assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh by a 26-year-old man enraged by the still-pending decision.
When a reporter asked Schumer if he was comfortable with the protests outside the Supreme Court justices' homes, according to a May 10, 2022, report in The Hill, Schumer responded, "If protests are peaceful, yes. My house — there's protests three, four times a week outside my house. The American way to peacefully protest is OK."
But Schumer, who is Jewish, may have felt a little less generous toward protesters on Friday when hundreds of pro-Palestinian protestors gathered outside his home just as he was sitting down to Shabbat dinner before leaving for Israel, according to Fox News . According to the New York Post, dozens of protesters were arrested outside Schumer's home, including local lawmakers as well as members of Jewish groups. A protest took place around the city on Friday, including outside Senator Chuck Schumer's home in Brooklyn. Friday night saw Jewish New Yorkers and allies make their way to Sen. Schumer's home in Brooklyn as he prepared to travel with a delegation of lawmakers to Israel.

Why?
Why are they going to Israel?
The people arrested at Chucky’s place should appeal their arrests to the Supreme Court.
Heh.
Defund the Police, open the border and take away our guns. It’s not stupidity it’s a strategy. Schumer has been a clown for decades and doesn’t care. Epically shameless.
Willard went too...
They had to run to a bomb shelter in Tel Aviv when Hamas sent over missiles...
There’s a lot of irony going around these days.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!!!!!
Hope they surround his house.
I agree with you, but I can also understand feeling uneasy about hundreds of Palestinian protesters outside his home.
I don’t like anything about the guy. At the same time, it’s completely within his rights to ask authorities to intervene if necessary.
What does shabbat mean to a secular Jew?
They had to run to a bomb shelter in Tel Aviv when Hamas sent over missiles..."
That was Oct 7.
(who's willard?) I'm aware two dudes were in Israel on Oct 7. (names escape me as you can see) One was there for the Abraham Accord, the other with family to celebrate the holiday.
This Friday, Caban (NYC police com) is in Israel... and now Chuck-U is going (Oct 13) a week after the initial attack?
Why are they going there?
to hand Zelensky $$$?
To bring back hostages? (not holding my breath here)
Willard Mitt Romney.

He sowed the wind. Now he’s reaping the whirlwind. He doesn’t know what’s hitting him.

Oh!Pierre! LOL
He was there too?!
The Democrats are not democratic. Quit calling them that.
While it is indeed within his rights to ask for protection, he’s a pretty disgusting hypocrite by doing it. It’s just more of the I’m better than you and deserve more. I never saw him beating the drum for anybody on the right that was victimized in this manner.
What I’m saying is based on past performance he doesn’t deserve any better than what he thinks we deserve.
I support Hamas visiting Chuck Schumer’s house regularly.
Da fuq is it about leftists; thinking since they consider themselves friends of the dragon that it won't eat them?
I'm sure a supermajority of those shot dead at that music festival were Burning Man type pro-Palistinian far leftists who thought of themselves as in sympathy with Hamas. I wonder what their last thoughts were as they realized Hamas had no similar sentiments.
up Chuck gets the protesters arrested outside his house but we have to endure the burning looting and murdering in cities during the BLM riots which were peaceful, and the protesters outside of supreme court justices wre ok and free to protest.
They’re doing it because Schumer is a Jew. Palestinians are bigoted haters and killers. They’ve proven it. They’re Nazis.
“It’s going to rip them apart.”
So be it!
