Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday ripped Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) over remarks the Democratic leader made outside the Supreme Court this week.
"I'm not sure where to start. There is nothing to call this except a threat, and there is absolutely no question to whom, to whom it was directed. ...The minority leader of the United States threatened two associate justices of the U.S. Supreme Court by name, period. There's no other way to interpret that," McConnell said from the Senate floor.
The Democratic leader on Wednesday warned that the two conservative justices would "pay the price" if they voted against abortion rights while addressing a crowd outside the Supreme Court.
“I want to tell you, Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch, you have unleashed a whirlwind, and you will pay the price,†Schumer said. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.â€
