Schumer faces calls to resign as minority leader after some Democrats work with Republicans to end shutdown

[Hume]

The Senate’s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, is facing calls to resign as minority leader after a group of Democratic senators broke ranks with the party and voted to advance a bill to reopen the government, as the longest shutdown in US history continues.

Notably, Schumer did not vote in favor of the legislation, which omits the centerpiece of Democrats’ negotiations – an extension of Obamacare tax credits. Regardless, he’s facing steep pushback from lawmakers who ultimately blame him for the eight members of the caucus who defected.

how long will sensible democrats stick with this insanity of the extreme left? They have to be considering who the enemy truly is at this point - AOC and Bernie are nut jobs.

He's a nutter, Keeps changing his name every few years. He also constantly makes posts about wanting people to be killed, beaten, raped,...all kinds of crazy stuff. No joke. He's a wack job.

Absolutely wrong. My style is pretty unique, and no one else has it.

On another board, a number of people have socs because it is a soc war there with many proxies.

I don't see that her much at all.

“Sen. Schumer has failed to meet this moment and is out of touch with the American People. The Democratic Party needs leaders who fight and deliver for working people. Schumer should step down.”

Too funny.

The Democratic circular firing squad is forming.

Too funny.
