Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer escalated his war-of-words with the White House Thursday; accusing the United States Congress of “chasing conspiracy theories pushed by Putin” to help “prop-up” President Trump.
“People are sick, dying, losing jobs. Senate GOP can’t find time for officials from FEMA or SBA to testify on the issues with small business loans or shortages of PPE. But now they have time to use the Senate to chase conspiracy theories pushed by Putin to prop up Pres. Trump?” posted Schumer on social media.

Schumer raised eyebrows on social media this week; bizarrely blasting the “politicization of the courts” just weeks after warning two Supreme Court Justices they will “pay the price” for their “awful decisions.”
“The politicization of the courts is a serious threat to our democracy. It undermines the rule of law. Sitting federal judges should not be members of political organizations like the Federalist Society,” posted Schumer on social media.

In early March, Schumer said this:
“I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
'CAN'T MAKE THIS UP': Chuck Schumer’s Guest Booted from Impeachment Trial Over GPS Ankle Bracelet, Felony Charges
Chuck Schumer’s personal guest to attend the Senate’s ongoing Impeachment trial was removed Wednesday stemming from issues related to his electronic ankle bracelet and multiple felony charges.
“Scenes from the impeachment trial: Schumer invited Lev Parnas to be his personal guest today at the trial. Minutes ago, Parnas was ejected from the gallery…because he’s wearing an ankle bracelet mandated bc he’s a criminal defendant accused of serious felonies!” posted Sen. Ted Cruz on Twitter.

The best way to sum up this whole debacle is to understand that Senator Schumer’s desire for Lev Parnas to attend the Senate trial apparently cannot be accommodated because Mr. Parnas has an electronic ankle bracelet imposed upon him by the court. You can’t make this up.

BACKLASH BUILDS: Republicans Push to Censure Schumer After Supreme Court Threats
Republican lawmakers vowed to censure Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer this week over his overt threat towards two Supreme Court Justices; ominously stating they will “pay the price” for their decisions.
“Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., may still face consequences from his colleagues after facing criticism from conservatives and liberals alike for remarks he directed towards Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh at an abortion rights rally last week that some have considered threatening,” reports Fox News.
“Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., has continued to call for Schumer to be censured after introducing a resolution in the Senate to do just that. And dozens of well-known conservative leaders signed a letter Monday adding their voices to the calls,” adds Fox.
“Of course Schumer’s attacks were ‘inappropriate’ and ‘wrong’! He should be CENSURED,” Hawley tweeted Friday.
