Michigan state Senator Mallory McMorrow, a Democrat who’s running for U.S. Senate in 2026, said in a video posted to social media last week that she “would not be able to control” herself if she saw conservative Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh in public.
The video (which is undated) shows McMorrow answering a question from someone about the conservative majority on the Supreme Court.
McMorrow, a Notre Dame grad and one of the Democratic leaders in the Michigan Senate, said that it makes her “furious” that Coney Barrett also graduated from Notre Dame — and even went so far as to claim she would attack them with booze.
“I talked to somebody yesterday who said they saw her with Brett Kavanaugh at a tailgate last weekend. I was like, ‘I would not be able to control myself,’” McMorrow said.
“That would be a bad— there would be beers thrown in people’s faces.”
Here it is —

McMorrow’s Senate office and her campaign team did not comment on the alleged comments at the time of publication.
Unfortunately, conservative Supreme Court justices have been the target of criticism from Democratic leaders in recent years.
In 2020, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called out Kavanaugh and Justice Neil Gorsuch by name and warned that they would “pay the price” if they voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” Schumer added at the time.
The Democratic leader was rebuked by many of his colleagues and by Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote, “Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous.”
Then, in 2022, shortly after the court overturned Roe v. Wade, a trans-identifying male traveled to the home of Kavanaugh with plans to assassinate the conservative justice.
McMorrow is one of three Democrats seeking to replace retiring Democratic Senator Gary Peters in the highly contested battleground state.
Experts believe the 2026 election in Michigan will be one of the most closely watched contests in the country, as Republicans hope to capitalize on the open seat.
McMorrow, 39, has served in the Michigan Senate since 2019 and became the Senate majority whip in 2023, where she has focused on advocating for abortion, especially after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022.
