Even by MS NOW’s standards, Tuesday's edition of The Moment was truly something else. After host Katy Tur played a clip of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett recalling the threats her family has faced since the Dobbs decision leaked, Tur and her assembled cast of characters decided to put the blame on President Trump.Despite just playing a clip of Barrett talking about the reaction to Dobbs, Tur asked Slate senior writer Mark Joseph Stern, “All right, Mark, the Court is your beat. Threefold increase in threats. What's going on?”  NEW: Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett details the chilling threats her family has faced, revealing the terrifying moment her 12-year-old son discovered a bulletproof vest in her bedroom during the fallout of the Dobbs leak.Barrett also recounted a recent "swatting"… pic.twitter.com/Cn6yG0VTYO— Fox News (@FoxNews) July 14, 2026  Stern immediately got to the Trump blaming, “It's absolutely horrifying. It's not at all surprising. And I do think a big part of it is Donald Trump. And that's odd because, of course, Trump wins most of the cases that he takes to the Supreme Court, but that's not enough for him. The few that he does lose, he has to throw a huge temper tantrum, and he has the bully pulpit and all of the cameras pointing to him.”He also claimed, “And so I think that when he has these fits, like he did after the tariffs decision, where he said that some of these justices should be ashamed of themselves and their families should be ashamed of themselves. That is a not so subtle signal to a lot of angry, violent, paranoid people that they need to take matters into their own hands because Trump's soldiers aren't delivering for him. It's not all Trump, but I do think it's a big part.”  Amy Coney Barrett recalled the increased security necessary after the Dobbs leak, so naturally MS NOW blamed Trump.

I think in the beginning there with the decision post-Dobbs, but also Donald Trump supporters?”At no point did Barrett mention the tariff ruling in her recollections about needing additional security. Stern created that to avoid having to talk about pro-abort fanatics. Speaking of things Stern wanted to avoid, Justice Brett Kavanaugh was on the other side of the tariffs case, and he has also been the target of abortion supporters.Later in the segment, former New York assistant district attorney Catherine Christian got in on the blame game, “And Justice Barrett, how can you not feel for her as she describes her sons? She was particularly excoriated by President Trump by name and people on his behalf. She has also—online—she has two children who are black and online there have been photos of her whole family and they make a point of her two children are black. That's clearly you can call it implicitly, explicitly racist, targeting her for that.”  Later, Catherine Christian says, "And Justice Barrett, how can you not feel for her as she describes her sons?

I don't want to say both sides because the political landscape and the environment changed when Donald Trump campaigned in 2015. I'm not pollyanna. I know it's always been ugly. The campaign that we played at the top between John McCain and Barack Obama, that was ugly as well, but it got uglier.”She also claimed that “It got more violent. It got nastier when Donald Trump came into politics. I remember those rallies. I was there. He was imploring people to beat up protesters. ‘I'll pay your legal bills,’ he said. Does this change? And I'm asking you to kind of step outside of your Supreme Court lane here, but does it change if everybody else says, ‘we have to stop,’ but Donald Trump does not?”The truth is the Dobbs decision has required additional security for Supreme Court justices. That may not gel with MS NOW’s desire to blame Trump for everything or to pretend left-wing violence isn’t that big of a deal, but it is nonetheless true.Here is a transcript for the July 14 show:MS NOW The Moment with Katy Tur7/14/20262:03 PM ETKATY TUR: All right, Mark, the Court is your beat.
