Reza Aslan, who used to have a show on CNN, responded by writing: “If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f***ing thing down.”

quote:

Political writer Laura Bassett echoed a similar sentiment, but stopped short of making a threat, writing: “If McConnell jams someone through, which he will, there will be riots. … *more, bigger riots.”

quote:

Australian astrophysicist Dr. Jessie Christiansen tweeted: “IF THEY RAM THROUGH AN APPOINTMENT IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS I WILL RIOT. This is an actual nightmare.”

quote:

Writer Beau Willimon wrote: “We’re shutting this country down if Trump and McConnell try to ram through an appointment before the election.”

quote:

Political commentator Katie Herzog wrote: “All we can hope for in times like these is that Mitch McConnell has a stroke from laughing too hard. To clarify: I don’t want him to die. I just want him to be brain dead. I’m not a monster.”

quote:

Professor Emmett Macfarlane wrote on Twitter: “Burn Congress down before letting Trump try to appoint anyone to SCOTUS.”

Why don’t they see who he nominates?

And the same goes for Trump too. Don’t nominate an extremist they will riot over.

Uh, okay. Well frick what he thinks he doesnt even live in the US.

And honestly I want them to riot and burn things down. We've been waiting for them to go full out crazy for some time now. I want to world to see exactly who they are and how wretched they become if you dont kneel to their demands.

Is there a word for threatening or using violence to reach political ends?

The founding fathers foresaw this. Any guesses on which parts of the constitution may help with this? Bueller? Bueller?

Imagine if Ben Shapiro, Dan Bongino or Jean Pirro made those kind of comments regarding a political issue.

They’ve already rioted and shut the country down. Tough shite, you emptied your playbook in the first half.

Can anybody threatening to riot name one decision or ruling she made that was important?

They aren’t wrong. If McConnell and the Republicans do this, there will be mass riots, and I think a lot of moderates/undecided will vote D.

I’m very interested in seeing what will happen next.

On twitter dems are threatening riots. who cares? they can riot, loot, scream to the sky burn their cities down. No one should be bullied by a rotten spoiled child throwing a fit.

Nope. Anyone he picks will be a white supremacist within minutes.
