Trump just responded to Chuck Schumer threatening justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh today, demanding that serious action be taken against Schumer now:
This is a direct & dangerous threat to the U.S. Supreme Court by Schumer. If a Republican did this, he or she would be arrested, or impeached. Serious action MUST be taken NOW! https://t.co/WqQUbyzaJU

There can be few things worse in a civilized, law abiding nation, than a United States Senator openly, and for all to see and hear, threatening the Supreme Court or its Justices. This is what Chuck Schumer just did. He must pay a severe price for this!

Trump writes “This is a direct & dangerous threat to the U.S. Supreme Court by Schumer. If a Republican did this, he or she would be arrested, or impeached. Serious action MUST be taken NOW!”
As I mentioned in the comments, of the main Schumer thread, I’ve been watching CNN since 6pm and they’ve completely ignored the Schumer story. Not a peep.
Curtis Houck has been watching the nightly news shows and reports this:
.@NBCNightlyNews was the lone broadcast network evening newscast to ignore @SenSchumer's ugly attack on Justices Gorsuch and Kavanugh and Chief Justice Roberts's rebuke.
BUT when Roberts hit back at Trump, @NBCNightlyNews on 11/21/18 gave it 84 seconds + 54 seconds the next day

In contrast, today's @ABCWorldNews Tonight w/@DavidMuir brought on @TerryMoran and the @CBSEveningNews w/@NorahODonnell brought on @JanCBS to talk about Schumer's threat + the response from Roberts. The two combined for two minutes and 14 seconds

Well at least that’s something from the MSM. I did see it on Fox News tonight right at 6pm as well.
UPDATE: I added Trump’s second tweet on this above. Also, even lefty lawyer Lawrence Tribe is calling out Schumer…
These remarks by @SenSchumer were inexcusable. Chief Justice Roberts was right to call him on his comments. I hope the Senator, whom I’ve long admired and consider a friend, apologizes and takes back his implicit threat. It’s beneath him and his office. https://t.co/xbNnUeznRR
