Curt Schilling's family will make the decision on whether he should challenge Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2018 because "the liberal media has made it very clear to me that conservative families are fair game for people that run for office," he told Newsmax TV on Thursday.
"It would be naïve for me to think that I could go in and do so — and my family and my wife wouldn't be affected," the former Major League baseball star pitcher turned radio talk-show host told Steve Malzberg on "America's Talk Live" in an interview.

"But at the end of the day, it will be a family decision," he added.
"We will have that discussion, because it will take — I don't know what the word is — maybe thicker skin on behalf of my family because of the things that might happen."
"I want to be in a country and live in a country and raise my family in a country that believes in something and that stands for something — and that's not happening," Schilling later added. "Right now, we're going the other way."
