James Woods: ‘Founding Fathers Wrote the Second Amendment for Violent Haters Like Chuck Schumer’

Actor James Woods ripped Sen. Chuck Schumer over his threats against Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, warning that America’s Founding Fathers wrote the Second Amendment as a safeguard against “violent haters” like Schumer.

Schumer made the threat during a pro-abortion rally outside the Supreme Court this week as oral arguments pertaining to June Medical Services v. Russo were heard, a case relating to the availability of abortion services in the state of Louisiana.

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh,” warned Schumer, who led the fight against both their nominations. “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.”

Responding to Schumer’s threat, Woods said that the threatening of judges in such a manner indicated the country was in “civil war territory.”
