Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) personally attacked Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday after Roberts condemned “threatening” remarks that Schumer made to two Supreme Court Justices earlier in the day.

A spokesperson for Schumer said, “For Justice Roberts to follow the right wing’s deliberate misinterpretation of what Sen. Schumer said, while remaining silent when President Trump attacked Justices Sotomayor and Ginsberg last week, shows that Justice Roberts does not just call balls and strikes.”
