“It was a very poor choice of words,” Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., said. And just like that, Sen. Chuck Schumer’s attack on two sitting members of the Supreme Court in the most voracious manner was dismissed by some on the left.
Those words to Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh were, “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.” Poor choices, indeed. With all of the mentally unstable, hate-filled people in this country, hearing those words could be considered a call to action. This is unforgivable for anyone to utter those words in a public setting, but even more so when issued by a figure of national prominence and a leader of his party.
The most ironic thing is that he was standing in front of protesters demanding women’s rights to terminate life. Does that now extend to grown men?
I call on all leaders from both parties to demand Schumer’s resignation effective immediately. The time for responsibility is now.
