Video of the Day: Schumer offers weak ‘apology’ for threat against SCOTUS, claims he made no threat

On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., made a weak “apology” for the threat he issued against Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, and falsely claimed he made no threat whatsoever, suggesting it was all due to being from Brooklyn.

“Now I should not have used the words I used,” he said. “They didn’t come out the way I intended to.”

“In no way was I making a threat,” he claimed.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Just as a reminder, here is what Schumer said: “I want to tell you Gorsuch! And I want to tell you Kavanaugh! 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…”

As Mitch McConnell noted, this can only be called a threat of violence against two Supreme Court Justices.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said he would be introducing a measure to censure Schumer.

This, by the way, is the modern Democrat Party.  Let that sink in.
