Outspoken leftist Bill Maher leveled the liberal media for its biased coverage of the assassination attempt of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
26-year-old Nicholas John Roske is facing a federal charge of attempted murder against a Supreme Court justice. He allegedly arrived outside Kavanuagh’s home in Maryland after 1 a.m. while armed with a Glock handgun with two magazines, a knife, a hammer, a crowbar, pepper spray and other equipment.
The assassination plot was abandoned after he was spotted by two deputy U.S. Marshals. Roske abruptly proceeded to walk down the street from Kavanaugh’s residence. Roske faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
Maher responded, “The New York Times buried this. If this had been a liberal Supreme Court justice that someone came to kill, it would’ve 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 said.

Maher also criticized Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for his “very inflammatory words” against Kavanaugh.
Schumer’s attacks may have “inspired” Roske to his act of terror, Maher suggested.
His rhetoric “released the whirlwind and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions!”
Roske himself called 911 and revealed his intentions to local law enforcement.
Just before the 911 call, Roske texted his sister and told her of his intentions. She convinced him to call 911, which he did.
Authorities have revealed that the 911 call lasted approximately 15 minutes. Roske could be heard saying that he was “having thoughts” and came from California in order to “act on them.”
When the 911 operator asked if he had access to weapons, Roske said he had a firearm.
When the 911 operator asked if he needed medical attention, Roske replied, “I need psychiatric help.”
Radical leftists have recently showed up at the homes of pro-life Supreme Court Justices enraged over the fact they may possibly overturn the landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade.
Roske revealed his motivation was that he was upset about the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
He believed Kavanaugh, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, would stand by court rulings that protect the Second Amendment.
