Grab Some Popcorn: Amy Klobuchar Tries to Corner Witness on Attacking Judges, Gets Hit by Schumer Threat

Senator Amy Klobuchar attempted to corner a witness on personally attacking a judge whose ruling they might disagree with, only to have it doused in cold water by a callback to her colleague Chuck Schumer's past threats.

Klobuchar (D-MN) spoke with hearing witness Jesse Panuccio, a partner at the New York-based law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.

"As a partner in a law firm, have you ever taken to social media to personally attack a judge who ruled against you?" she asked.

"Senator, thanks for the question," Panuccio replied. "I think that attacking judges personally and not their reasoning ..."

That's when he offered up an example. A receipt.

"Let me just give you a quote. 'I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price ...'"

It was at this point that Klobuchar, realizing he was quoting Sen. Schumer (D-NY), who made explicit threats against Supreme Court justices in 2020 should they dare rule against Roe v. Wade, tried to interject.

As a refresher, Schumer made the threats against justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch at an extremist pro-abortion rally held in close proximity to the court itself in March of 2020.

“They’re taking away fundamental rights,” Schumer claimed.

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” the curmudgeonly senator shouted.

“You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” he added, clenched fist repeatedly striking downward.

The video is remarkable in light of the foiled assassination attempt on Justice Kavanaugh by an armed California man just two years later. An attempt that the would-be assassin, we just learned, will plead guilty to.

Panuccio finished Schumer's quote over Klobuchar's protestation.

"That was something that Senator Schumer said, and I thought it was awful," he added. "And it unleashed a wave of violent threats against Supreme Court justices. I think that's problematic."

Klobuchar was left such a sputtering mess that she likely left the hearing on break and promptly threw her salad, comb and all, at the nearest aide.

Schumer's comments laid the groundwork for pro-abortion extremists to view the Supreme Court as a threat. Something that led to doxxing of justices, protests outside their homes, and escalating tensions.

That all culminated with the arrest of would-be Kavanaugh assassin Nicholas John Roske, who was found armed with a handgun, a knife, and “burglary tools” near Kavanaugh’s home.

Was Roske trying to unleash the "whirlwind"? Think he brought a gun and a knife to make sure Kavanaugh would "pay the price"?
