Democrats begin calls for Schumer’s ouster after some in his caucus fold on shutdown fight

Washington Times-

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer is in hot water with his party after Sunday’s bipartisan deal that is expected to end the government shutdown this week. 

Mr. Schumer, New York Democrat, is voting against the deal, but his failure to prevent others in his caucus from surrendering on Democrats’ health-care demands is leading some party members to call for his ouster. 

“Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced,” Rep. Ro Khanna, California Democrat, said on social media. “If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?”

Democrats wanted to add an extension of enhanced Obamacare premium subsidies set to expire this year to the government funding bill. Republicans would only agree to hold a vote on the issue after the government is reopened.

  1. WHEN I WAS ON NAVY COMBAT SHIPS, I USED TO SAY THAT THE NAVY HAS A WAY OF GIVING YOU AN ASSIGNMENT IN ABSOLUTE HELL, ONLY TO EVENTUALLY MOVE YOU UP TO YOUR NEXT ROLE, WHICH MADE YOU MISS YOUR LAST JOB

    SCHUMER SUCKS, BUT JUST WATCH AND BEHOLD HIS REPLACEMENT

  2. I’m loving this.

    This was all planned Chuckie, we see it. You were called out by Senator Kennedy (R Louisiana). You did this and now you will reap what you sowed.

    “It will end eventually when Senator Schumer goes to six or eight of his members and his Democrats and says, ‘Do me a favor. Vote to open it back up. I may have to criticize you, I’m not gonna vote with you, but I need a way out of this. I need an offering.’”

    Durbin of Illinois is retiring and he said OK. Otherwise he would have never gone along with this. How much did you have to pay him to sell his soul again. All of them except Fetterman are corrupt. Hard to believe Fetterman is the only dem with morals and represents all of the people of his state.

  3. The Radical Communist Leftists are ready to toss a rope over a tree branch then around Shitmur’s neck, pulling the rope tight until he is on his toes like a ballerina, slowly choking to death to send a message to the rest of them.

    Moron, that ship had already sailed. Premiums have skyrocketed and the CR has nothing to do with premiums.

  5. It’s all a big show for the brainless morons that keep putting the same tribe of selfcentered assholes back in office. I can foresee AOC running for Schumer’s senate seat. Can’t wait to see that retard in action!!

  6. Even with coordinated attacks by the MSM to convince everyone that President Trump was responsible for the shutdown, most people did not believe the lie. DNC’s internal polling must have been disastrous for Chuck the schmuck and getting worse every day.
