Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday pushed back on claims that former President Trump’s political opponents are out to kill him as “outlandish and dangerous” and urged GOP colleagues to tamp down conspiracies he worries could lead to violence.

“What Donald Trump said falsely suggesting his political opponents are out to kill him is beyond the pale and is the stuff that leads to political violence,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “Donald Trump seems to have no consideration for the sanctity and peacefulness and further functioning of our democracy.”

Schumer called the claim “absurd” and pointed out that the FBI consulted with the Secret Service before they went into Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida to search for classified records now at the center of one of the former president’s court cases. Trump was in New Jersey when they searched his Florida home.

And Schumer warned that Trump appears to be trying to rev up his supporters in the same way he did on Jan. 6, 2021, when they stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.

1. I hope this monster is convicted

Would make my year. Trump is an evil deranged man

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. I am the one who scolds anyone who criticizes any Democratic politician because

in a 2 party system we cant attack the good guys/gals, so to speak.

BUT the old school Senate and some House members who dont want to rock the boat better start, and they need to be LOUD about it!

10. So who are these 'old school' people

Name them.

You're making the assertion. Back it up.

3. Trump supporters will not storm the Capital as they did on J-6

1. Most who would are already in jail or almost there.
2. Biden as President will not stand idly by during an insurrection.
3. Even if some did, they will run far when the fast bullets fly.
4. They do not even show up for his trials. Trump has to have his puppets do that.

4. If he croaks, I'll celebrate

[Fritz Walter]

8. Not "if..." but rather "when he croaks"

But it has to be due to natural causes (e.g. massive stroke), because his hard-of-thinking supporters will otherwise seek vengeance! On a massive scale.

9. Fingers crossed!!!

“What Donald Trump said falsely suggesting his political opponents are out to kill him is beyond the pale and is the stuff that leads to political violence,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “Donald Trump seems to have no consideration for the sanctity and peacefulness and further functioning of our democracy.”
