WATCH: Amy Klobuchar’s Attempt to Corner Conservative Witness with Question on Judges Blows Up in Her Face When He Reminds Her of a Violent Statement Uttered by Chuck Schumer

As the old saying goes, elephants never forget and never forgive. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) learned this lesson the hard way while questioning a conservative witness who remembered a violent statement uttered by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

As Fox News reported, The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Wednesday to investigate the influx of nationwide injunctions against the Trump administration by activist district judges and to explore potential solutions to the crisis. This came one day after the House held its own hearing on the subject.

During the hearing, Klobuchar was completely embarrassed by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) when the Texas Republican dared to tell the truth about the Democrats’ scheme to sabotage President Trump’s agenda and called them “the party of murderers and r*pists. She went into meltdown mode in response and sent the entire hearing off the rails.

But Klobuchar had an arguably even more embarrassing moment when she tried to corner Jesse Panuccio, who served as the acting United States Associate Attorney General in 2017 and again from February 2018 to May 2019 during the first Trump administration. He now works for the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP.

Klobuchar thought she could humiliate Panuccio by asking him whether he had lost his temper and verbally attacked a judge who did not rule for him in a case.

“As a partner in a law firm, have you ever taken to social media to attack a judge who personally ruled against you?” Klobuchar asked.

Panuccio was well-prepared for Klobuchar’s ambush and said personally insulting judges was wrong. Then he made Klobuchar regret her gotcha question with this brutal reminder regarding Schumer and the threat he made toward two Supreme Court Justices:

“Let me just give you a quote: ‘I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh; you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,'” Panuccio stated. “That was something Senator Schumer said, and I thought it was awful.”

“And it released a wave of violent threats against Supreme Court Justices, and I think that’s problematic,” he added.

WATCH:

For context, Schumer made his chilling threat to Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on March 4, 2020, just days before the COVID-19 pandemic hit America. The crowd roars in approval upon hearing him put a target on the Supreme Court justices’ backs.

Having Schumer’s words thrown back in her face caught Klobuchar off-guard, and she could only muster this weak response:

“I have, I have, no doubt the language is a problem on the left and the right,” she said.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

Published

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
