Reporter: Protest to ‘intimidate’ Kavanaugh at home one of the ‘scariest things I’ve ever witnessed’

A reporter covering pro-abortion protests outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh over the weekend has described the scenario “as nothing short of horrifying” and “one of the scariest things” he’s ever witnessed.

In an interview on “Fox & Friends” on Monday morning in the video clip embedded above, Daily Signal news editor and podcaster Douglas Blair also claimed that what he deemed an attempt at intimidation “just shows how deranged and out of touch with the American people the radical left is.”

Activists reportedly doxxed the addresses of six conservative Supreme Court Justices, who (or at least five of them) are perhaps on the brink of overturning the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade precedent if the leaked draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito in the Dobbs. v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case ever becomes the majority decision of the high court.

If that occurs, it would return the abortion rights issue to the states to regulate individually.

Many blue states, for example, will quickly pass statutes or take other measures to maintain the legality of the procedure in addition to whatever related laws are already on the books.

Blair explained, too, that the “scariest thing” was that the level of vitriol outside of Trump-appointed Justice Kavanaugh’s home had a far more intense, “palpably different” energy than what he witnessed at Justice John Robert’s residence. “They were yelling; they were screaming.”

That may be a reflection of the sense that Roberts, who seems to have a more incremental judicial philosophy, would likely be inclined to uphold the Mississippi law in Dobbs that bans most abortions after 15 weeks in that state but go no further than that.

Fox News co-host Ainsley Earhardt introduced the discussion by asking Blair what he witnessed at these protests.

“What I saw outside of these justices’ homes was nothing short of horrifying. It really tells you a lot that we have gotten to the point in this country where protesters feel they can go to somebody’s private residence, scream and yell and try to intimidate them into voting the way that they want them to do, and for a cause like abortion where, on the pro-life side, we have acknowledged time and again that this is not just a clump of cells. It’s not a parasite as some of these protesters were saying. It is a human being. It is a human life,” Blair opined.

“This is an attempt at intimidation, and I think that it really says a lot, too, that the Biden Administration is willing to absolutely let these justices out to dry. They’re not going to say it’s not acceptable for you to go to somebody’s house and yell and scream. That’s not how we do it in this country,” the journalist continued.

The Kavanaugh family may have been elsewhere during the demonstration, Blair added.

“My hope is that he wasn’t home. My hope is that he was safe with his family somewhere else, because it was genuinely one of the scariest things I’ve ever witnessed, watching these people yell and scream, and try and change the vote of what is most possibly the most important vote in the history of this country, the right to, you know, live your life and to have a human being survive in the womb.”

Earhardt alluded to a media report that a federal statute (18 U.S. Code 1507) makes this kind of picketing outside a judge’s home to influence a decision illegal.

“That’s entirely right. Whether or not it’s illegal is sort of irrelevant here,” Blair asserted. “It’s the morality of the thing. The fact that they’ve decided it’s now acceptable to intimidate a justice into getting what they want just shows how deranged and out of touch with the American people the radical left is. The fact that we can have this conversation between us, and we can discuss, hey, you know, maybe it’s gonna go back to the states, maybe not: that’s acceptable. It’s unacceptable to go to somebody’s house to yell and to scream and to scare them into submission.”

Blair added that the group dispersed when police arrived.

“The fact that these radical protesters fled the scene the second that a massive police presence came on was so telling to me because they ‘re scared. They know that the American people are on the side of life. We are cultivating a culture of life in this country. And the fact that they knew that the police were gonna come, and were gonna basically make it so they couldn’t yell and scream in front of the justices’ houses anymore, that indicates to me that we are gonna win this issue, and we’re gonna win the fight for life,” he concluded.

Parenthetically, as many have already observed, the my body, my choice, body-autonomy cohort remained silent when thousands of women (and men) were fired from their jobs across the country, including those in the nursing profession, because of a COVID vaccine mandate.

  1. Psaki, and her demented boss are now guilty of inciting an insurrection against SCOTUS Judges, a definite federal crime. As soon as the Republicans take over, there will be a Select Committee formed and heads will roll. We just need to shoot a couple of innocent protesters to increase the drama.

  2. Dementia Joe made have made his all-time gaffe winner when he said the child was aborted. That makes abortion the killing of a baby, no more fetus claims, no nothing at all. These people are now, officially, baby killers, and they need to be called that by every conservative, all the time. Biden finally does something right for the country, but not for his own party. Way to go Dementia Joe… Let’s go Brandon. FJB

  4. The Biden administration will keep pushing us until we unload on these punks, then they will unload on us. No one anywhere in the world cares one bit about us.

  5. Civilized ADULTS do NOT behave this way! Toddlers “DO”, when “things” don’t go their way .It’ a “time out”, sitting in a chair in the corner, OR “letting them” CRY it out to exhaustion.”Guess” we hafta listen to this until NOVEMBER. UGH! I “do” BELIEVE that in RED STATES, that the National Guard WILL be asked in to handle this “LUNACY”! STATES. “still” have their rights to “have” or “have not” abortion “laws”. SCOTUS “said”, “leave it up to the individual STATES”:re abortion law. The STATES “choose”, “yes” or “no”.SO “WHY” are these left wing IDIOTS “saying” that ABORTION IS GONZO? I’d just “bet” that “they” have ZERO “clue”! WHO “IS” feeding these people LIES? Guess it’s straight from Pelosi, Schumer & the White House. Come Nov., “the Dems” will be TOAST. With the Dem’s policies, abortion is the LEAST of “their” worries. Let’s START with sky high gas prices for cars & home heating. NEXT, let’s go to GROCERIES From there we can try ENERGY, so we can all drop dead in the heat.NEXT “is” any kind of insurance for ANYTHING! SKY HIGH! SO, “THANK YOU DEMS”-you have DESTROYED our economy,!

  6. We need the addresses of all these protestors so we can scare the pants off their spouses and children. Oh! that’s right most don’t have spouses and they abort all their children or wish they had.

  7. Title 18 Section 1508. US Code
    Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
    Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of the United States of its power to punish for contempt.

  8. I would like to take a second here to thank the democrat party, Jen psaki, SanFraNan, the whole Brandon administration and especially our far out there le ft media for their constant stirring up of Sierra and mis/spin/out right lying reportage/journalism(what a laugh that is), and in general 3 year old little girl activity in what they say, air, print. You people are 110% responsible for the on-going destruction of the last great chance for mankind to be free to choose for each person’s individual wants, needs, desires.
    You just can’t have ANYBODY happy, can you!

  9. Unfortunately, this is typical behavior of the left. If you don’t agree you are racist, a fascist, a nazi, or any number of other epithets. Intimidation and fear is their calling card. Bullies are cowards

  10. Remember how they got everyone’s info from their cell phones for Jan 6 in order to charge them? Notice how they’re not doing that now?

  11. Jam their cell phones. Gas, TASER and nightstick a dozen or so. Problem (and barbarians) go away.

    1. The same way you handle a school yard bully- stand up to them and use appropriate force until the little cowards back down and run away in fear.
