White House tries to deny ever encouraging protests at justices’ homes — but the internet is FOREVER

A man was arrested near the home of Brett Kavanaugh on Wednesday morning after allegedly threatening to kill the Supreme Court Justice. SCOTUS justices — especially the conservatives ones — have faced intense backlash since the alleged Roe v. Wade decision was leaked, and the left’s rhetoric against those justices hasn’t helped. In fact, that rhetoric may be directly responsible for terrifying events like this one.

For example, Senate Majority Leader Schmuck Schumer threatened Kavanaugh in March 2020, saying he would “pay the price” if he didn’t vote to uphold Roe v. Wade.

u201cSomeone should let the Eunuch GOP know that by the Leftu2019s own standards, this is impeachable. This is exactly what Trump was impeached for.nnThey wonu2019t do it. But they should.u201d

Then there was former White House press secretary Jen 'Pspin' Psaki who made it clear that protests at the homes of Supreme Court justices were not condemned by the Biden White House amid outrage following the
leaked draft decision regarding Roe v. Wade. Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany took to Twitter to remind us of the president’s position on protests outside of judges’ homes.

u201cIn light of the Kavanaugh news, first question to the White House today should be:nnu201cDoes Illegitimate President Biden stand by this?u201dnnPSAKI: u201cAnd we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judgesu2019 homes and thatu2019s the presidentu2019s position.u201dnu201d

Here’s the former press secretary’s
statement:

“I know that there’s an outrage right now, I guess, about protests that have been peaceful to date, and we certainly do continue to encourage that, outside judges’ homes, and that’s the president’s position.”

Of course, the Biden White House press office was quick with some creative damage control. In this case, White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates used strategically placed em-dashes and highlighting to suggest that 'Pspin' Psaki didn’t say what 'Pspin' Psaki clearly said:

u201cUnsurprisingly – given the source – this presentation is dishonest. nnThe full answer (from one of Jen’s *hundreds* of briefings) made the opposite point. nnShe said we encouraged protesters to remain peaceful. nnShe never encouraged people to protest outside justices’ homes.u201d

See what he did there? Yeah, nice try, except pretty much no one was buying it.

u201c@SeldenGADawgs @AndrewJBates46 Even when they use the actual words, they don’t admit to it… There’s no possible plausible deniability and they still mintain the lie…nnUnreal…u201d

u201c@AndrewJBates46 It’s right there, literally verbatim, right after the part highlighted in red: “And we certainly continue to encourage that u2014 outside of judges’ homes.”u201d
