Wherever Chuck Schumer goes these days he is digging deeper and deeper holes for himself and his party, and that has certainly been the case in the aftermath of his cave to Republicans and President Donald Trump on the continuing resolution.
As we’ve reported, the New York Democrat has been unable to catch a break anywhere he appears, as even normally Dem-friendly media figures are giving him grief. He’s also postponed book tour stops in reliably blue cities – citing “security concerns” over the possibility of protesters. And even at his own home, radical leftist demonstrators are close by.
It’s gotten so bad for Schumer that Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) is also taking swipes at the Sen. Minority Leader in his uniquely John Kennedy way, stating that Schumer right now is “about as popular as chlamydia.”
On Wednesday, Schumer did an interview with PBS, which is facing the possibility of losing its taxpayer funding by way of the GOP-controlled Congress. But during his remarks, Schumer made an accidental admission about the Republican town halls that the Trump Dept. of Justice might want to take notice of (bolded emphasis added):
But I would say this. We are — we — in 2017, when he was last here, Nancy Pelosi and I said we’re going to go after him on health care. He was very unpopular with that. We’re going to go after him on tax breaks for the rich.
And then we won the House and picked up some seats in the Senate in 2018. Same thing is going to happen now. And we’re going to go after him in so many different ways. We are doing much better on the social media led by Cory Booker and Tina Smith in our house. And so we’re reaching people who were not reached before.
We are — we are mobilizing in New York. We have people going to the Republican districts and going after — going after these Republicans who are voting for this and forcing them to either face — change their vote or face the consequences. This is a long, relentless fight that we fight every day. […]
Chuck Schumer just accidentally exposed that Democrats are behind the ongoing disruptions at town halls on PBS.
