Biden yet to speak on alleged Kavanaugh assassination attempt

Earlier this week, a man named Nicholas John Roske was arrested outside the justice's home carrying a gun and a knife. He admitted to police that he had traveled from California to Washington, D.C., to kill Kavanaugh because of his apparent intention to overturn Roe v. Wade following the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion. Roske was charged with attempted murder.

"The New York Times buried this," Maher said. "If this had been a liberal Supreme Court justice that someone came to kill, it would have been on the front page."

"And that's what's so disappointing about a paper like The New York Times because they just wear their bias on their sleeves, and if it's not part of something that feeds our narrative, f--- it, we bury it," Maher added.

Maher took a swipe at Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for his "very inflammatory words" toward Kavanaugh and Justice Neil Gorsuch, suggesting they could have "inspired" Roske.

The top Democrat told the two conservative justices in 2021, "you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions!"
 
Have you read that this was the reason?

I've seen a few stories on it. It sounded like more of a Hinckley thing. I might have missed that - do you have that specific quote or reporting?
Yes. Yes you need to broaden your reading even the Liberal leaning Newsweek and the WAPO say he was mad about abortion.

Aman who allegedly told police that he wanted to kill Brett Kavanaugh and was arrested near the Supreme Court justice's Maryland home overnight was reportedly angry about a leaked draft opinion that indicated the high court was poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Two people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity cited in a report from The Washington Post said that initial evidence suggested the man was bothered by the potential rollback on abortion rights, as well as a recent wave of mass shootings in the United States. The man did not ultimately make it onto Kavanaugh's property but had been carrying at least one weapon and burglary tools.
