A man was taken into custody near the Justice's house.
Schumer is blamed for comments he made at a Supreme Court rally.
Schumer called for violence and was following orders, according to GOP Sen. Roger Marshall.
Chuck Schumer is being blamed by Senate Republicans after an armed man was arrested near the Supreme Court Justice's house.
Researchers studied House partisanship over the course of six years. They visualized the divide between Democrats and Republicans by writing about their findings.
Republican Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas said that Chuck Schumer called for violence. The armed man who showed up at the house was following instructions. It is not possible to serve justice under the threat of mob violence.
Schumer commented on the Supreme Court at an abortion rights rally in March 2020.
Schumer told the two men at the rally that they would pay the price. If you go forward with these terrible decisions, you will not know what will happen.
Schumer apologized in a speech.
I shouldn't have used those words. He said there would be political consequences if the Supreme Court stripped away a woman's right to choose. I shouldn't have said that, but I didn't make a threat.
The man, who appeared to be in his mid-20s and was from California, was stopped by police on a street near a home after he was seen carrying a weapon.
The man was taken into custody near the residence. The man had a gun and was making threats. He was taken to the Montgomery County Police 2nd district.
According to The Washington Post, the man was upset about the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion, as well as the string of mass killings around the country.
The ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, said that leaders need to consider their words more carefully when they might cause violence.
Ted Cruz said that Democrats need to stop their inflammatory rhetoric on abortion and condemn the violence coming from their supporters.
He later posted a clip of Schumer's 2020 remarks.
Schumer was asked if he was still proud of threatening Supreme Court justices.
A single-page bill that would extend security protections to the families of Supreme Court justices is being urged to be passed by the House. The Senate passed the measure with no opposition.
"The arrest of this individual proves these threats to the Justices' lives are horrifyingly real, and it's unconscionable for House Democrats to leave their families without police protection for even one more day," Cornyn said. Speaker Pelosi needs to keep the House in session until she passes my bill.
McConnell spoke on the floor on Wednesday.
The Senate passed legislation to improve the police protection for the Justices and their families after the leak. The Supreme Court security bill needs to be passed by the House before the sun goes down.
