Donald Trump says that Sen. Chuck Schumer will be facing some “trouble” for the threats he recently made aimed at Supreme Court justices.
The president hinted that Senate Minority Leader Schumer could face consequences for his controversial remarks on two conservative Supreme Court justices.
At an abortion rights rally on the steps of the Supreme Court last week, the top Senate Democrat made remarks that critics saw as a threat against conservative Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. 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,” the New York Democrat said.
In a tweet early Monday, Trump said there would be “trouble ahead.”
Schumer did make a rather lame attempt to walk back his comments late last week, claiming that he misspoke.
“Now, I should not have used the words I used yesterday. They didn’t come out the way I intended to,” he said Thursday. “Of course, I didn’t intend to suggest anything other than political and public opinion consequences for the Supreme Court.”
“I shouldn’t have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat. I would never do such a thing,” he added.
Schumer’s original comments prompted a rare rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts, who called Schumer’s criticism “inappropriate” and “dangerous.”
He most definitely make it a threat. I’ve met a lot of people from Brooklyn including my grandmother and no way did she make suggestions like Chuck the Schmuck made it sound.
H was trying to incite the abortionists and he knew damn well what he was trying to pull.
Schumer should be removed from office in handcuffs charged with threats against Supreme court judges.
Senator Schumer’s threat to the new Supreme Court justices was real, as were his previous threats to members of Congress. He is a sobering example of no term limits for members of Congress, and also the current lack of civility and respect that people used to give to each other, regardless of political affiliation. He should be publicly censured and defeated in his next election. I’m tired of hearing his condescending speeches to the Senate and other bodies.
Just look back on his rhetoric over the past three year’s when he spoke,this is nothing new.
Crying Chuckie Schumer is a coward ! He should be arrested and jailed for threats on 2 Supreme Court Justices . The left seems to think that they can do or say anything and receive no punishment . At some point in time the left must face retribution for dangerous criminal actions … the sooner the better !
He did make a threat. That’s exactly what he did. This type of talk could cause some nutcase to go after these judges or their families. Schumer needs to be held accountable. He didn’t even apologize. Idiot!!
Chuck Schumer knew exactly what he was saying and now, he thinks he can just say UHH I may have misspoken…No Schumer threaten two members of the SCOUS and shouod be punished for it…He thinks he is above the the laws of this land just because he is a Senator…NO, he can not escape our justice…Our Justice Dept. need to swear out a warrant and the Secret Service should arrest and hold Schumer for trail…The People of this Great Country demands this to show those in our Government we don’t take threats against elected officials, especially our SCOUS lightly…
What would the average person get for making that kind of remark?
As they to say – all are subject to same penalties etc. All equal.

Nothing burger. Not a darn thing will happen to Chucky Boy. He is a protected “Super Lib”.
Schumer , You are a bigoted little boy in OLD MAN’s pants. YOU MEANT “HARM” . I read it and HEARD YOU say the words. This can not be misconstrued as to what you meant. YOU are back pedaling, or , when in the south, “you are crawdadding” , because you got CALLED OUT! Own up! You miserable communist . You , however , will “reap the whirlwind , for YOU are dividing the Country, and you will reap the whirlwind” .
If nothing is done to Senator Schumer, it will show that he’s better than the average person, and he’s not. If anything, he should be in prison rotting away. No person, especially a trained lawyer and an U.S. Senator for more years than the average person is old. Remember, as the Speaker-of-the- House has stated many times, “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.” I hope that statement includes this individual, even if he is a Damnocrat and the Minority Leader in the Senate.
Gee, if that applies to the President, it sure as hell should apply to Senator Schumer and Representative Pelosi for trying to sneak something(abortion funding) into a bill for corona flu. Guess she’s not as honest as I thought.
Schumer needs to be censored we need to nuke the filibuster
Schumer says he would never do such a thing as threaten those Jutices and he is as usual just another prevaricating pundit with no concept of TRUTH, as there is no way to take his comments as the threat to the well being politically and perhapss physically to Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. I despise Sotomayor and Ginsburg and feel NEITHER of these staunch advocates of Sharia and other international law superseding U.S. Constitutional Law. The courts, especially the SJC are supposed to base verdicts on prior precedents and actual facts in evidence, NOT to fit a political agenda or become one in itself as the left has done for DECADES. As for Schumer, He set a bad precedent in his open and obvious threats to these Justices, and therefor the judicial system and he should be made to be held responsible and accountable for his crime, as that is EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS AND REMAINS! If he is not held so, a terrible precedent which threatens all America once was,
BECOMES A MORE WORRISOME THREAT THAN ANY SEEN BEFORE THE DEMOCRATS TURNED TRAITOR TO EVERY FOUNDING PRINCIPLE
He should be made to resign!!! This is disgusting from a senator!!! No excuses!!!
They have used the courts for the democrats advantage for years. Now it is time for them to face the music and see that they shall be judged as they have tried to judge and force others to abide by their demonic actions.
Like President Trump said, If it were a Republican he would probably end up in jail. That is a terroristic threat and he should do a little time for it.
If He doesn’t suffer any consequences then shame on the senate republicans and the administration
Schumer should be in JAIL. that is the recourse that should be taken.
As a U S Marine if I did that I would get
court martial and 20 years and maybe
40 as a TRUMP supporter
Who gives a dam about Trumps threats. Americans are thinking about the threat of the virus, He’s only thinking about getting even with individuals that don’t bow down and kiss the area between his knees and waist. What a sorry excuse for a President , husband, father and human being!
Schumer needs to be prosecuted to the fullest that the law allows along with Pelosi!
As a senior Senator, Mr Schumer should stop criticizing our President and conservative justices.
Start working Mr Schumer to make our country safe.
Then do it! The tone of his words were clearly a threat! When will someone stand a up and take appropriate action for the threats flying around congress. The past 3 years have been a shame to both the White House and America. I’m afraid if iys not nipped soon, it will only get worse.
Throw him in with the Lions ?
It’s OK to publish my information. Schumer ‘s behavior is that of a trator at worst and that of a person in high government position acting to destroy our Republic at best. That kind of behavior cannot be tolerated from a person in his position.
I’ll believe it when it is announced that Schumer is tried, convicted, and faces serious consequences including expulsion from the Senate and being forbidden to hold public office again.
This multi standard system of where the Dems can say and do what they want without any recourse for the actions and yet we conservatives must be able to walk on water has to stop and stop now.
All of these Dems should be held to account, legally to include jail time and removal from their positions in office for their inexcusable actions.
LIARS always try to walk back their lies when confronted !
SORRY -BUT ITIS ABOUT TIME FOR THIS MAN TO GET SOME FEED BACK FOR HIS ACTIONS OF THE PAST AND NOW WHO THINKS THAT HE IS NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS ACTIONS. THEN HE COMES UP WITH THE EXCUSE HE COMES FROM BROOKLYN, SORRY THAT DOESN’T WORK. SORRY THAT DOESN’T WORK FOR KIDS AND IT CERTAINLY DOESN T WORK FOR AN ADULT MALE THAT SHOULD KNOW ..
Hey chuck you opened your big mouth once again, this time you are going to pay the price for your cockiness/big mouth!
Schumer should not just be censured, but should be expelled from Congress.
What political consequences were you referring to for non-elected judicial life-long appointees?
Chucky needs to be retired and shamed for his comments
I am actually pleased that Schumer was upset enough to utter the childish remarks that he did.
This self appointed “royal “is without shame. I believe that when Schumer was a teen, he was the laughing stock of the school, and was probably picked upon regularly. This CLOWN has been EXTREMELY lucky to have simpletons to vote for him.
Dems have lied,cheated , stolen disrespected our country and now are trying to push communism down our throats why think they are going to change .same old same old
Remove the scum from our government.
He has the IQ of a flea.
This is just another example of the Democrats believing that they are above the law. They are not! The average citizen could be arrested for making terroristic threats against another individual and Schumer should be arrested for the threats that he made against the Supreme Court Justices!
