Reporters Flee Supreme Court After Abortion Activists Get Violent: “It Got So Volatile We Didn’t...

FULL TITLE: Reporters Flee Supreme Court After Abortion Activists Get Violent: “It Got So Volatile We Didn’t Feel Safe”

UPDATE, 11:56 p.m. Eastern: Bream repeatedly elaborated on her tweets during Fox News @ Night with the first coming while speaking to Nebraska Republican Senator Ben Sasse in the A-Block.

Sasse pointed out that the interview was supposed to have taken place at the Court, but “it was a little loud out there” and Bream added that “it got a little too rowdy out there at the Court tonight.”

“Last year, there were certainly protesters out there and there was definitely opposition to justice Gorsuch upon his name being announced that night. Tonight, we saw something different. We did have a plan to have our show out their live. It got so volatile at points that we — we ultimately didn’t feel like it would be safe to do an hour of live television out there,” she explained.

Throughout the show, she again hinted at it, telling panelists at the end of one segment that “[t]here’s definitely no kumbaya happening out there on the steps, but there is here tonight” while stating in another to Tony Perkins that there were “folks out there on the steps of the Supreme Court” that aren’t fans of him.

For more examples, check out the transcript at the bottom of this post.

Late Monday night, Fox News @ Night host and Supreme Court correspondent Shannon Bream tweeted that she had to flee her live shot from outside the Supreme Court after having “felt threatened” by the “very volatile” “mood” by the far-left protesters having conniptions over President Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for the nation’s high Court.

SIGN THE PETITION: Vote to Confirm Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh

Bream first tweeted in the 9 p.m. Eastern hour:

Just under an hour later, she followed up that she “literally had to bail” on her spot with other journalists in the interest of her “safety”:

For some time, the CNN media team have tried to delegitimize and squelch any media criticism from outside the liberal media bubble under the guise of it being responsible for triggering death threats and creating a culture of verbal harassment against journalists (most notably at Trump rallies).

Throw in past scenes of harassment against White House officials, Senators, Trump supporters, and anyone not fully onboard with The Resistance and it’s no surprise that the next step for the perpetual leftist, violent mob is to go after conservative reporters or anyone not with, say, CNN or MSNBC.

FNC’s Fox News @ Night July 9, 2018 11:08 p.m. Eastern

NEBRASKA REPUBLICAN SENATOR BEN SASSE: You know, last year when Gorsuch was packed, you and I were supposed to be doing our interview on the Court — on the steps of the Court tonight —

SHANNON BREAM: It got a little too rowdy out there at the Court tonight.

SASSE: — it was a little loud out there. You know, when Gorsuch was picked, I went over to just engage some of the protesters. I was at the White House for the President’s pick and a year ago, the President had me over when selected Gorsuch and we came back and I was headed to my office and I thought I would go outside and see who these protesters are and they had all these Mad Libs signs. They had signs that were made up and

BREAM: And they were left blank, right?

SASSE: — they had Sharpies to fill in the name of who the person was who was supposedly going to end the world. This isn’t the apocalypse. This is a chance to teach our kids basic civics and to celebrate checks and balances. So, I think what happens next is sadly going to be an attempt to Bork a guy. This — 30 years ago — or 31 years ago, in the summer of ’87, the seat which Kennedy held for 30 years, was the Bork seat and when Bork wasn’t given a fair hearing and when he wasn’t confirmed, he went out and wrote a book the next year called The Tempting of America which is about the politicization of everything. We are not supposed to have judges who think of themselves as super legislators. Protesting on the steps of the Supreme Court tells you that our system is breaking down in terms of basic civics. Protest at the White House. Protest at the Congress because those are places where people are supposed to be responsive to politics. Judges are not supposed to be responsive to politics. I think we’re going to see a big attempt at Borking coming next.

BREAM: I wouldn’t be surprised at all and, as you said, last year, there were certainly protesters out there and there was definitely opposition to justice Gorsuch upon his name being announced that night. Tonight, we saw something different. We did have a plan to have our show out their live. It got so volatile at points that we — we ultimately didn’t feel like it would be safe to do an hour of live television out there. Where are we?

SASSE: You know, I think it would be great to see people on the left who, even if they want Progressive goals that I don’t want from a policy standpoint, admit that the judiciary is not the way to do it. If you want to move policy to the left, as many Democrats want to do, try to persuade the American people. Don’t try to do it with people who sit on a court where they don’t ever have to face the voters again. In our system, we the people are supposed to have the power and the first branch, Article I, and Article II, they stand for election. Article three judges, they were a black robe. They have lifetime apartments. They are not supposed to be politicians and when you have this much politics around every Supreme Court nomination, it means that we have too much activism in our courts.

(….)

11:21 p.m. Eastern

BREAM: There’s definitely no kumbaya happening out there on the steps, but there is here tonight.

(….)

11:29 p.m. Eastern

BREAM [TO TONY PERKINS]: Well, a lot of those folks out there on the steps of the Supreme Court tonight — probably not big fans and don’t see the Constitution the same way. Anyway, for now, you’re happy with these picks, so we will follow it and see what happens. Tony Perkins, thank you for coming in….Alright, those opposed to the choice of Brett Kavanaugh claim it’s the end of the world and it’s also the end of Roe v. Wade and gay marriage. Others say that no matter who is on the Supreme Court, those precedents are safe.

(….)

11:40 p.m. Eastern

BREAM: Plus, there are not many people — there are many people who are not happy with President Trump’s pick. Some of them are still out there protesting at the Court tonight. We are going to take a look at who they are and why they oppose this particular choice.

(….)

11:44 p.m. Eastern

BREAM: Correspondent Kristin Fisher is here with details about Kavanaugh and the protests we’re already seeing. Good evening, Kristin.

KRISTIN FISHER: Yeah and you were in the middle of those protests.

BREAM: Yeah, I was.

Start prosecuting all these domestic terrorists and sentence them to prison time. That should do the trick and then cut off their financing. Soros?? DNC? Zero? Hillary?

New long overdue law:

http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=131225

Hitler-Devil-Child-ANTIFA members should be very worried now that congress has introduced a bill called the “Unmasking Antifa Act of 2018”. The Bill makes it a crime to wear a mask and then violently attack random people at rallies.

The Bill Reads:

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES JUNE 8, 2018 Mr. DONOVAN (for himself, Mr. KING of New York, Mr. BUDD, and Mr. GOSAR) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

A BILL

To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide penalty enhancements for committing certain offenses while in disguise, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the “Unmasking Antifa Act of 2018”. SEC. 2. INTERFERENCE WITH PROTECTED RIGHTS WHILE IN DISGUISE. (a) IN GENERAL.—Chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after section 249 the following: “§250. Interference with protected rights while in disguise

“(a) IN GENERAL .— Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, while in disguise, including while wearing a mask, injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both.

“(b) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this section shall be construed so as to deter any law enforcement officer from lawfully carrying out the duties of his office; and no law enforcement officer shall be considered to be in violation of this section for lawfully carrying out the duties of his office or lawfully enforcing ordinances and laws of the United States, the District of Columbia, any of the several States, or any political subdivision of a State. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term law enforcement officer’ means any officer of the United States, the District of Columbia, a State, or political subdivision of a State, who is empowered by law to conduct investigations of, or make arrests because of, offenses against the United States, the District of Columbia, a State, or a political subdivision of a State.”.

“In case anyone wonders how Hitler got people to kill for him.”

The guards who ran the death camps were so boozed up on Russian Vodka they had 2% blood in their alcohol! Yea they were sold at first but keeping it up for long term, that is another story.
Just like abortion workers, they all on drugs and/or alcohol. They sold at first that they helping women but after a while they can’t deal with it. Not after the first time they’ve been to the POC room. Then they doing something to help them deal with it unless they quit right after.

They are getting into the throwback ‘60s and ‘70s era protests. I say it’s getting about time to dust off the fire hoses and release the K-9s. I might even tune in and watch the evening news to see THAT...

By 5 or 6 pm, they’ll be blaming Trump for causing this.

Hey, they want to kill babies, so do you think they would hesitate to murder a reporter?

Any bets that they are also against capital punishment for convicted murderers too, as a political matter?

Next time turn the water hoses on these plicks!

Republicans need to emphasize to voters that Democrats are irrational and violent. Threatening, cursing, rioting, unwilling to play fair or even listen to those who disagree with them.

While society always has some people like that, does anyone truly want to give them power over our lives? Certainly most people don’t.

And this is a really good pitch to voters.

It will work because the Right will not counter with force, instead will turn a shoulder. And the Left will laugh.
