Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) threat directed at Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh at an abortion activist rally Wednesday sparked a firestorm, with public figures from all ends of the political spectrum weighing in, including left-leaning lawyers, leftist media personalities, and liberal entities. Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who joined Chief Justice John Roberts and President Donald Trump in condemning Schumer’s comments, offered some commentary Wednesday to the left’s reaction to the Democratic senator’s alarming comments.

“Republican legislatures are waging a war on women, all women, and they’re taking away fundamental rights,” Schumer said at a Center for Reproductive Rights-hosted event Wednesday in front of the nation’s highest court. “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.”
