NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Michigan Democratic Senate candidate is facing backlash after a clip went viral Thursday revealing what she would do if she saw Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh out in public.
Mallory McMorrow, who is running in the crowded Democratic Senate primary, ignited social media backlash from conservatives after her comments to supporters last month surfaced. McMorrow was asked by a female attendee at a Huron Valley Indivisible event on Nov. 12 whether there «was any sense in dealing with the Supreme Court,» adding that she «blame[s] them for a lot.»
«So, I’m a Notre Dame grad, and Amy Coney Barrett coming out of my university makes me furious. Just on a personal level. I talked to somebody yesterday who said they saw her and Brett Kavanaugh at a tailgate last weekend,» McMorrow said last month. «I would not have been able to control myself. That would be bad. There would be beers thrown in peoples’ faces.»

Conservatives immediately slammed McMorrow on social media for her violent rhetoric, including the National Republican Senatorial Committee, who said, «She needs help.»
«It’s impossible for a Democrat candidate to not be a crazed and violent radical,» Club for Growth President David McIntosh wrote on X.
«Sounds as if she shouldn’t be in the Senate, then,» Charles Cooke, a senior editor at National Review, wrote on X.
«I really don’t understand political figures who openly brag about being overcome by emotions such as disgust as though this were an asset,» Wall Street Journal columnist Kyle Smith wrote on X.
«Pattern of Democrat politicians up to and including Chuck Schumer openly encouraging violence against Supreme Court justices,» The Federalist’s editor-in-chief Molly Hemmingway wrote on X.
«Sounds like she should seek professional help and consider therapy instead of a Senate run,» conservative writer A.G Hamilton wrote on X.
«Democrats are now openly threatening Supreme Court justices with violence,» GOP operative Steve Guest wrote on X.
Fox News Digital reached out multiple times to the McMorrow campaign about the clip but did not receive a response.

Several people online likened the comments to those said by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. in 2020 when he targeted Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, both conservative Supreme Court justices, and said, «You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions» during an abortion rights rally.
Schumer would later walk back the quote, saying, «I should not have used the words I used yesterday. They did not come out the way I intended to.»
This isn’t the first time that McMorrow has received scrutiny this year. Back in October, McMorrow was a headliner at the «John D. Dingell Unity Dinner,» which featured a sign with coded language threatening President Donald Trump and equating his supporters with Nazis.
The sign, displayed by local Democrats, said «MAGA=NAZI» and «86 47.» The number «86» originated in restaurants to mean «cancel» or «throw out,» but in underworld slang it is frequently used as a call sign for murdering someone. The number «47» is commonly interpreted as denoting the 47th president of the United States, Trump.
«This sign was wrong. Especially now, we each have a responsibility to choose our words and signs carefully, and avoid anything that may be interpreted as a call to violence,» Andrew Mamo, a spokesman for McMorrow for Michigan, told Fox News Digital at the time.
She has also come under scrutiny for fundraising with far-left radicals, including a blogger who mocked the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The month-old clip of McMorrow dropped as news spread that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had been verbally harassed in public at a luxury Washington, D.C., restaurant and wine bar on Wednesday night by Code Pink, a radical left-wing group.

«We want to make an announcement!

«He oversees the deaths of 600,000 people due to sanctions annually,» she added. «How many people are going to die because of the blood that’s on your hands?»

California Dems unleashed pressure campaign against USC prior to debate cancellation

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Top Democrats in the California state legislature demanded that the University of Southern California (USC) either expand the number of candidates allowed to participate in the gubernatorial debate, which had five White candidates, or they would boycott the debate.
The «data-driven» candidate viability framework produced a lineup of Republicans Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton, as well as Democrats Tom Steyer, Matt Mahan, Katie Porter, Eric Swalwell – all White candidates. The same criteria, developed by a USC professor and defended by the university, ended up axing Xavier Becerra, Antonio Villaraigosa, Betty Yee and Tony Thurman, all Democratic Party minority candidates, due to lower polling and fundraising scores, they said.
After news of who made the candidate pool and who did not, the excluded candidates expressed outrage over what they claimed was a racist candidate viability system created by USC that targeted people based on their race. One candidate, former Health and Human Services Secretary Becerra, even likened it to when his father used to talk about «the days when he would encounter signs posted outside establishments that read ‘No Dogs, Negroes or Mexicans Allowed.’»

Among those expressing outrage besides the candidates themselves were California state Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limon, Speaker of the California State Assembly Robert Rivas, and a handful of other Democratic Party members within the state legislature who called the decision-making framework «biased» in a letter they signed that also included concerns about one of the selected candidate’s donor ties to the university. They also referred to candidate’s complaints, such as from Becerra, as «valid.»
«If USC does not do the right thing, we call on California voters to boycott this debate. If the university will not give voters a fair shot at evaluating everyone running for governor, voters should find other ways to learn about the candidates,» stated the letter, which included letterhead with the logos of about half-a-dozen Democratic Party caucuses in California. «We are asking you, President Kim, to exercise the leadership this moment calls for: expand the debate stage, and trust California’s voters to make up their own minds.»
Meanwhile, in an announcement less than 24-hours ahead of the scheduled debate, USC said that KABC, the Los Angeles television station broadcasting the debate, could not come to an agreement to allow more candidates and, as a result, decided to cancel the debate.

The University of Southern California decided to cancel the debate it was going to hold after backlash over its formula used to select which candidates would be able to participate, with some suggesting it was racist. (Reuters)
GOP CANDIDATE CITES ‘FAILURE’ OF NEWSOM, DEMS AS NEW POLL SHOWS REPUBLICANS LEADING CROWDED CALIFORNIA FIELD
«If you run anything in California, the legislature is very important to you and at the top of the letter, the top signatories to this letter, Robert Rivas, who is the Speaker of the Assembly, and Monique Limon, who’s the head of the Senate, the State Senate and the State Assembly. And that came very late on Monday. They sent this letter to USC. Then what happened? As we understand it – they’ve been pretty open about it – they get this letter from the legislature, they think, ‘Oh, sh–t, we better do something. This is now a real threat. This isn’t just the candidates complaining. This is the legislature, which, you know, regulates and affects everything we do,’» Hilton, one of the GOP frontrunners in California’s gubernatorial race, said about the situation.
«USC apparently went to ABC, the media partner who’s going to broadcast the debate, and said, ‘We want to expand it and put these people back in,’ and USC said, ‘No, I’m sorry. ABC said no.’ Then, that midnight, on Monday night, they put out that statement saying, ‘Okay, then we’ll cancel it.’»

Reporting from Cal Matters, a local California publication covering state politics, indicated that, directly and indirectly, Porter, Steyer and Swalwell have suggested Mahan, a tech entrepreneur and former Mayor of San Jose, was invited to the now-canceled debate despite poor performance data.
In the lawmakers’ letter requesting the event allow more candidates or be canceled, addressed to USC’s President Beong-Soo Kim, an unnamed candidate with «notable ties to USC’s donor community» was also alluded to as part of the complaints about the debate. When Rivas’ staff was asked for clarification on whom the letter was referring to, they eventually confirmed it was Mahan.

A party-sponsored poll from Democratic State Chairman Rusty Hicks showed Mahan behind Becerra, but had all other candidates that USC selected ahead of those who did not make it. Two Republicans, Hilton and Bianco, are still leading the field at 16% and 14% respectively. Meanwhile, Porter, Swalwell and Steyer are tied at 10% and every other Democrat is still in the low single digits. Twenty-four percent remain undecided.
Neither Rivas nor Limon provided on-the-record comments to Fox News Digital for this story prior to publication.

House Budget chairman reveals how Republicans will pay for the Iran campaign

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
House Republicans are lurching forward with a second budget reconciliation package, ending months of speculation about whether the chamber would attempt to marshal a second GOP-only megabill through Congress before November’s midterm elections.
House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, said Wednesday he wants the measure to pay for President Donald Trump’s Iran campaign and enact anti-fraud provisions that offset the cost of the anticipated defense infusion’s large price tag.
«It’s an opportunity to solve two problems and address two challenges and advance two great causes: fund the military, provide a strong defense, win the war, achieve the objectives and do it in a way that doesn’t put our kids further in the hole,» Arrington told reporters.
«We’re all but ready to mark up a budget resolution,» Arrington continued, adding his panel is still continuing to hash out the details of the package.

HOUSE CONSERVATIVES ERUPT OVER SENATE GOP, WHITE HOUSE DEAL AMID SAVE ACT FIGHT
The Trump administration has floated a $200 billion request to help pay for the war in Iran but has yet to deliver a formal request. Given Democrats’ expected opposition to a defense supplemental, some House Republicans have said a second reconciliation package is the only viable vehicle to advance the measure and other Trump priorities through Congress.
«Democrats have obstructed everything,» Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital. «So, we believe, unfortunately, that reconciliation is the only mechanism to move the rest of the President’s agenda.»
Republicans have zeroed in on fraud in social services for months and view the enactment of fraud-related spending cuts as a way to offset the cost of the package.
The budget reconciliation process would allow Republicans to circumvent the Senate’s 60-vote requirement and pass a spending measure with a simple majority.
Arrington said he would be working closely with Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who also announced Wednesday that his panel would begin drafting reconciliation instructions. The South Carolina Republican floated funding increases for the military and law enforcement in addition to voter integrity measures as possible items in a second reconciliation bill.
«Let’s put it this way: The reconciliation train is leaving the station,» Graham posted on X after the two lawmakers met to discuss a second megabill Wednesday.

GOP MUST RACE FOR NEW ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ TO SLASH COSTS BEFORE MIDTERMS, TOP HOUSE REPUBLICANS WARN
Though Republicans are likely to broadly support defense supplemental funding and fraud-prevention measures, a second megabill could still face major hurdles.
Republicans narrowly passed Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act in June 2025 after months of intraparty disagreement. Under House Republicans’ razor-thin majority, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can afford to spare just one GOP defection in a party-line vote.
However, Arrington argued that the war in Iran would be a unifying force to get the bill done.
«I think funding our military in a time of war, if there’s no sense of urgency and accountability from members of Congress to support our commander in chief, I can’t think of one,» Arrington said. «I do think the big push is going to be supporting our sons and daughters in uniform and making sure they have what they need to be successful.»
Arrington did not shut the door on including parts of the SAVE America Act in a GOP-only megabill. However, its sweeping provisions, requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections and voter ID requirements, could fail to meet reconciliation’s stringent budget requirements.
The Trump-backed election bill has stalled in the Senate due to widespread Democratic opposition, though the upper chamber is continuing to debate the measure.

Johnson, who has long pushed for a second budget bill, said Wednesday he was encouraged by Graham moving forward with reconciliation.
«I’m glad to know the Senate is interested in reconciliation 2.0,» the speaker said. «I have been a broken record. We need to do that. It’s an important legislative tool.»
