On Reap & Release

Remember when Chuck Schumer stood on the steps of the Supreme Court and said, “I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, 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"?  That pronouncement took place four years ago, on June 8th of 2020, with Schumer using the phrase "released the whirlwind" in conveying his convictions about what was to come. 

Eighty four years ago this month, while visiting Coventry after the city was razed on Nov 14, 1940 during an 11 hour raid involving nearly 500 Luftwaffe bombers, Churchill quoted this verse from Hosea 8.7, “They have sown the wind, they shall reap the whirlwind.”  

While the two quotes may sound somewhat similar, they're not. Reaping is different from releasing.

Shumer's as real as his tofu veggieburgers.
