Knives Are Out For Chuck Schumer After Democrats Cave On Shutdown
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) opposed the deal cut by a group of moderate Senate Democrats, but his progressive critics fumed at him anyway.
“Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.),
Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), the former chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, cited Schumer’s refusal to endorse incoming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as well as his handling of the shutdown fight.
“Don’t endorse or say who you voted for in NYC despite there being a Dem candidate,” Pocan wrote online. “Get Dem Senators to negotiate a terrible ‘deal’ that does nothing real about healthcare. Screw over a national political party.”
“Profile of scourge? Next,” Pocan added.
The Dem party has completely turned on Schumer and the party is in total meltdown. Some of these folks are at least admitting it's cause Schumer hasn't fully embraced their new Democrat Socialist views.
