Before Trump chose Brett Kavanaugh as his nominee to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, a group of pro-abortion protesters showed up at the Supreme Court ahead of President Trump's big announcement Monday night. They were carrying "Protect Roe" signs and chanting, "What do we want? Equality! When do we want it? Now!"
Critics allege that Kavanaugh will do his darnedest to upend the 1973 ruling Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion.
After Trump's announcement, the demonstrators amended their chants a bit.
Several others made their way to the Supreme Court to join in the demonstrations. The situation got so hostile that Fox News anchor Shannon Bream feared for her safety.
Very few times I've felt threatened while out in the field. The mood here tonight is very volatile. Law enforcement appears to be closing down 1st Street in front of SCOTUS.
Bream followed up that tweet by informing followers that she had to cancel their live show and that they were "moving the show back to the safety of the studio."
