Blue check leftists on Twitter vowed violence in America if Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) attempts to replace Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday night at age 87.
Leftist writer Reza Aslan tweeted: “If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire fucking thing down.”
He later tweeted: “Over our dead bodies. Literally.”
Writer Beau Willimon tweeted: “We’re shutting this country down if Trump and McConnell try to ram through an appointment before the election.”
Writer Laura Bassett threatened riots: “If McConnell jams someone through, which he will, there will be riots.”
She followed up with: “*more, bigger riots.”
A professor at the University of Waterloo tweeted: “Burn Congress down before letting Trump try to appoint anyone to SCOTUS.” He then protected his account on Twitter.
Author Marcus Carey tweeted: “Politics about to get really turnt up.”
McConnell issued a statement that said: “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.
Podcaster Katie Herzog said she hoped McConnell suffered a stroke and became “brain dead” before that happened.
Media pundit Scot Ross tweeted to Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), who warned McConnell against filling Ginsburg’s seat: “Fucking A, Ed. If you can’t shut it down, burn it down.”
