Schumer calls for a “forceful uprising”? Dog whistle? Inciting violence?

    Apparently Schumer has called for all Americans to forcefully rise up against Trump over the L James indictment.
    Can this be seen as a dog whistle for violence? I know many will twist and turn and explain it away.. some will by Trump or but Jan 6th..

    But this is the leader of the Democratic Party calling for a forceful uprising just weeks after Charlie Kirk is shot because of his political stance, ICE agents are being doxxed and vehicles are being rammed, bullets shots at tv stations over Jimmy Kimmel.

    it’s not a matter of do you agree with ICE or Kirk or the decision to pull Kimmel..
    the question is
    Should the leader, the face of , the Democrats be publically calling for a show of force against Trump over the LJames indictment. Is this not inciting violence?

    Huntsville, AL.
    Would that be similar to the leader of MAGA, the orange skidmark himself, calling for force against fellow Americans, to be used as training facilities and such. Taking and calling actions to be taken against people who might rub his little diaper the wrong way??
    In no way am I saying two wrongs make a right, and if that is what Schumer is doing, it is no better than what the head of Maga is doing..

    Is there a source? This is what Google AI says when I searched for it:

    On October 13, 2025, several online outlets began circulating posts and videos claiming Senator Chuck Schumer had called for a "forceful uprising". These claims originate from a manipulated video and are false. The original remarks show Schumer discussing what he characterized as tyrannical tactics.

    I watched the video. If you are going to use the word "forcefully", I think you should make it clear that you mean non-violently. One can be forceful & non-violent. But, he did not qualify it in the video I saw, which, IMO, opens the door to interpret it as a call to violence. He should be more careful. He is a never ending gift to MAGA. Maybe that's his sneaky way of promoting leftism.

    I don’t know if he even said this based on prior post upthread, but it seems you have conflated “forceful” with violent. They are not the same, not even close.

    adjective
    full of force; powerful; vigorous; effective.

    a forceful plea for peace.

    Schumer has a history of making potentially threatening remarks. Here is what he said about two SCOTUS judges:

    "I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price," Schumer, who was then minority leader, said at the time. "You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

    He did later apologize for the remarks.

    After reading this thread, I have no clue what it is even about or what the complaint is

    I detest Schumer. In the same clip he said "he knows she's innocent" but "hasn't read the affidavit". So tired of these clowns that people keep electing over and over again for some reason.

    But if you take away from this clip that he is calling for violence then you are not too bright.

    In a world where the POTUS has been shot at twice, a right wing commentator was just assassinated, Teslas and Tesla dealerships burned or bombed and ICE agents attacked the words "forceful uprising" do mean a bit more than your list of synonyms. If you can't see that take off your blinders.

    As Bob Dole famously said;”The most dangerous place in Washington is between Chuck Schumer and a television camera”!

    Poster starts a thread with no link or reference to his claims. What would happen if a poster started a thread with a similar claim "possibly" from the dear leader?

    Doesn't the 2nd Amendment exist so Americans may defend themselves against a tyrannical government?

    I think Schumer is trying his best to lead the demo-gressives but he’s not much of a leader, especially when it comes to leading something like the liber-facist crowd.

    But …….
