Senator Chuck Schumer is once again playing political theater, accusing President Trump of intimidating judges — a laughable claim coming from the same man who once stood on the steps of the Supreme Court and directly threatened Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. The left's double standard is on full display.
KEY FACTS:
Schumer Accuses Trump of "Judge Intimidation":
Schumer lashed out, claiming that Trump’s public criticisms of Judge Juan Merchan were “dangerous” and aimed at undermining judicial independence.Convenient Memory Loss:
Schumer seems to have forgotten — or hopes we have — his own inflammatory 2020 remarks where he threatened SCOTUS Justices by name: “You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.”Trump Responds with Facts:
President Trump rightly pointed out the obvious bias and conflicts of interest in Judge Merchan’s court, including political donations and his daughter’s ties to Democrat-aligned firms.The Media Silence Is Deafening:
While leftist media outlets blast Trump for any comment, they continue to give Schumer a free pass for threats that could have endangered the judiciary’s impartiality.
Let’s call this what it is: pure projection. The left accuses President Trump of what they themselves are guilty of — dangerous rhetoric and abuse of power. Schumer’s threat against Supreme Court Justices was a direct attack on judicial independence, but because it came from a Democrat, the media shrugged it off.
Meanwhile, Trump’s legitimate concerns about bias and corruption in the legal system are painted as "attacks." This is a classic leftist playbook: create a narrative, ignore their own past, and count on the press to echo it uncritically.
