After reports stated an armed man was arrested outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home and allegedly wanted to kill him, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) slammed House Democrats on Wednesday for not passing a bill that would improve police protection for Supreme Court Justices and their families.

“Two people familiar with the investigation said the initial evidence indicates that the man was angry about the leaked draft of an opinion by the Supreme Court signaling that the court is preparing to overturn Roe. v. Wade, the 49-year-old decision that guaranteed the constitutional right to have an abortion,” The Washington Post noted.

“House Democrats must pass this bill and they need to do it today,” McConnell said sternly.

“Just moments ago, The Washington Post published an extremely disturbing report,” he began. “According to the report, a man in his mid-twenties was stopped near the house of a Supreme Court Justice carrying a weapon and burglary tools. He reportedly told police he intended to murder the Justice. Reportedly, he indicated he was angry at the decision he thinks the Court may reach in an upcoming case in light of the unconscionable leak from a few weeks back.”

“This is where we are,” McConnell said. “This is where we are, Mr. President. If these reports are correct: an assassination attempt against a sitting Justice or something close to it.”
