Kevin McCarthy is furious. He is steaming hot over a threat made against Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh by someone who allegedly sought to assassinate him.
The House of Representatives Republican leader wants the House to enact a bill that would protect SCOTUS justices from threats. I happen to agree that justices on the nation’s highest court need maximum protection.
McCarthy said this on the floor of the House.
How many times do they have to be threatened? How many people have to be arrested with a gun outside their home? What would have happened had he not called 9-1-1? He didn’t just have a gun. He had zip ties. But somehow you want to leave. This bill could be on the president’s desk right now.
I just have to ask, though: Where is McCarthy’s outrage over the murders of dozens of school children and other innocent victims in supermarkets, houses of worship, movie theaters, concert venues and wherever else they are slaughtered by those wielding assault rifles?
