Leftists offer up to $200 reward for tips revealing the whereabouts of Supreme Court Justices Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Roberts



ShutDownDC has posted a tweet offering to pay as much as $200 per tip disclosing the location of Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and John Roberts.

"DC Service Industry Workers... If you see Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Coney Barrett or Roberts DM us with the details! We'll venmo you $50 for a confirmed sighting and $200 if they're still there 30 mins after your message," ShutDownDC tweeted on Friday.

A response to the post accused ShutDownDC of "putting a bounty on Supreme Court Justices heads."

"No, we're putting a bounty on their dinners," ShutDownDC replied.

\u201cDC Service Industry Workers... If you see Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Coney Barrett or Roberts DM us with the details! \n\nWe'll venmo you $50 for a confirmed sighting and $200 if they're still there 30 mins after your message.\u201d

On Friday, Politico reported that protestors appeared in front of the Morton's restaurant in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, called the manager to tell him to give Kavanaugh the boot, and eventually tweeted that Kavanaugh departed via the back of the establishment. Politico's Daniel Lippman checked into the episode and verified the account, according to the outlet.

Politico linked to a Wednesday tweet from ShutDownDC that said, "We hear Kavanaugh snuck out the back with his security detail. @mortons should be ashamed for welcoming a man who so clearly hates women."

The outlet reported that according to an individual familiar with the matter, Kavanaugh did not see or hear the demonstrators, but had a full meal and departed before dessert.

"Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant. Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency," a representative for the restaurant chain said, according to Politico.

"No rights for us, no peace for you. Get f[***]ed @mortons," ShutDownDC tweeted.

So far, Twitter has not removed the tweet offering payment to those who provide tips regarding the whereabouts of the six Supreme Court justices.

"We prohibit behavior that encourages others to harass or target specific individuals or groups with abusive behavior," Twitter declares online. "This includes, but is not limited to; calls to target people with abuse or harassment online and behavior that urges offline action such as physical harassment."

Restaurant blasts pro-abortion protesters who showed up to disturb Kavanaugh's D.C. dinner: 'Void of decency'



Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was forced to make a stealthy exit out the back door of a Washington, D.C., restaurant after leftist protesters chased him down at dinner because of his vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.

On Wednesday night, D.C.-area protesters learned that Kavanaugh was having dinner at Morton's Steakhouse in the city's downtown, Politico's Playbook newsletter reported Friday morning.

A left-wing group called ShutDownDC tweeted on July 6 that Kavanaugh had "snuck [sic] out for a swanky DC dinner" and invited local activists to "join him." The protesters showed up at the restaurant, encouraged others to call Morton's and demand management kick Kavanaugh out, and later tweeted that the justice had been forced to exit through the back of the restaurant.

Politico reported that Kavanaugh did not see nor hear the protesters and ate a full meal at Morton's but left before dessert. The restaurant chain's management issued a furious statement condemning the protests.

“Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant. Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency.”

ShutDownDC was unapologetic Friday morning. "No rights for us, no peace for you. Get f***ed @mortons," the group tweeted.

While the restaurant was harassed Wednesday, another group of protesters had gathered outside Kavanaugh's private home in Chevy Chase, Md. to continue their abortion rights demonstrations, much to the annoyance of the neighborhood.

Bethesda magazine spoke with some of Kavanaugh's neighbors, who complained to police about the noise, obscenities being shouted, and general disruption to the community.

One woman, who remained anonymous for safety reasons, told the magazine the protesters' actions were inappropriate for a private neighborhood with young children.

“Most of those children are too young to understand what they’re doing and way too young for us to have these crucial conversations with. They are extremely frightened by their actions and no longer feel safe in their own homes,” she said.

The neighbor also complained that Montgomery County officials were incorrectly characterizing the protests as "peaceful."

"They are far from. It’s actually embarrassing that anyone would categorize them as such,” she said. “Ask anyone on our street that lives here or has been here when they’re happening and they will tell you the same. It’s horrendous and insane that this is allowed to happen at our private homes.”

Another neighbor, Florence Knauf, said that while she doesn't agree with Kavanaugh, it would be better for the protesters to take their demonstrations to a public place like the U.S. Supreme Court building.

“Brett Kavanaugh and I don’t agree with each other very much, but I actually think that doing this outside of a person’s house is hard,” Knauf said. "You have a Supreme Court [building] that is public and is totally a place where you can, like, deal with your First Amendment rights. And going to someone’s house is pretty scary.”

Montgomery County officials have said the protesters are abiding by local regulations that limit protests in front of residences.

Wife of Sen. Josh Hawley takes criminal action after 'anti-fascist' group targeted family's personal residence



Erin Hawley, the wife of Republican Sen. Josh Hawley (Mo.), has taken action against the alleged organizer of a protest outside the Hawley's Virginia home last month.

What is the background?

Demonstrators gathered outside Hawley's personal Washington, D.C.-area residence on Jan. 4 to protest the Missouri senator's planned objection to the certification of Joe Biden's Electoral College victory. At the time of the protest, Hawley was in Missouri with his two sons, but his wife and newborn daughter were at the Vienna, Virginia, residence.

In response, Hawley claimed the protesters "threatened" his family — but said he would "not be intimidated by leftwing violence." Hawley claimed the demonstrators were affiliated with Antifa.

"Tonight while I was in Missouri, Antifa scumbags came to our place in DC and threatened my wife and newborn daughter, who can't travel. They screamed threats, vandalized, and tried to pound open our door. Let me be clear: My family & I will not be intimidated by leftwing violence," Hawley said.

What did Erin Hawley do?

Erin Hawley filed a criminal complaint against Patrick Young, the alleged protest organizer who is part of the self-described "anti-fascist" group ShutDownDC. The criminal complaint was filed in Fairfax County, Virginia, where the incident took place.

According to ABC News, a local magistrate found sufficient probable cause to issue Young a summons, charging him with one misdemeanor count of illegally demonstrating.

"[B]ased on a citizen, the magistrate issued a summons for a defendant for a violation of Virginia Code 18.2-419 (picketing or disrupting tranquility of home), a Class 3 misdemeanor," a police spokesperson told ABC News.

Video of the demonstration showed protesters standing just feet from the Hawley residence. According to Erin Hawley, the protesters "were screaming with bullhorns and shouting 'Come out, come out!' I was frightened."

A police officer with the Vienna Police Department later arrived on scene, informing the protesters they needed to disperse because the town prohibits demonstrations outside private residences. The protesters were also allegedly violating noise ordinances. However, the protesters allegedly continued demonstrating for 10 more minutes.

What was the response?

ShutDownDC issued a statement claiming their protest was a "candle light vigil," and accused Hawley of using his power as a U.S. senator to "harass a normal person."

"We are not aware of any summons issued related to our candle light vigil at Senator Hawley's house. Police on the scene did not believe a crime was committed. That was confirmed by the Vienna Police department in media reports days later. If a summons has been issued, it is outrageous that a rich and powerful person — a United States Senator — can go to their magistrate to get a summons to harass a normal person," the statement said, according to the Kansas City Star.

However, Hawley's office said the senator's family has been targeted with numerous threats in recent weeks, which are being investigated by law enforcement.

"Because of the attacks in the media and from the left over the past few weeks, Josh's family has been the subject of numerous threats on their lives that are being monitored by authorities," Hawley's communications director, Kelli Ford, told ABC News.
