Mitch McConnell has condemned
Democratic rival Chuck Schumer, who said
Republicans and
Supreme Court justices who support overturning landmark
abortion rights would "pay the price".Speaking on the
Senate floor on Thursday, the Senate Majority Leader said "there is nothing to call this except a threat, and there's absolutely no question to whom it is directed", suggesting that if Senator Schumer had shouted his remarks to another
American outside their workplace, "they would hear them as threatening or inciting violence."
