Chuck Schumer

Jesse Watters - 🚨BREAKING： Trump JUST SIGNED the BILL to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES 🗃️📂

"Chuck Schumer's generation, Nancy Pelosi's generation ... They have so much to be proud of but it is time though for new leadership... It's time for us to step up."

Tomi Lahren: Do you think Senator Schumer has been effective leader for your party... Auchincloss: I don't think Americans feel like Congress is working... Lahren: That was a wonderful side step congressman.

"After 50 years in elected office Chuck Schumer's days are numbered... He is completely incompetent. He drove the American people into a 43-day shutdown with no plan to get out it."

MACCALLUM: “So, Chuck Schumer’s no-good week on Capitol Hill getting worse. He’s probably really happy that it’s Friday. At least 17 House Democrats now say that his failure to keep the party in line, that’s one of the biggest jobs, really, of the Senate Minority Leader, they say he blew it and that he must go as Senate Minority Leader. And these calls are coming from media and pundits and all of these people who are his colleagues on the Hill. There’s also a growing coalition that backs this individual, progressive Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, to launch a primary challenge against Schumer.” [Clip starts] Crockett: “I think New York will have to decide, if Alex does decide to run, who is built for this moment. And I really want to urge all Americans that were disappointed with the 8 Senate Democrats to not get disappointed or disenchanted with the party as a whole. But when you go out, don’t just vote for a Democrat, vote for a Democrat that is ready for the fight that we’re in at this moment.” [Clip ends] MACCALLUM: “California Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna among the first to call Schumer no longer effective, and he joins me now. Congressman, it’s good to see you. Thank you very much for coming by. So what goes through your mind as you look at those 17 members on the Hill who are calling for him to step down? And you listen to Jasmine Crockett suggesting that maybe AOC should be the replacement.” KHANNA: “Well, Martha, as you know, I was the first to call for him to step down. It’s always hard to speak out against your own party. I’ve worked with Senator Schumer on the CHIPS Act. I appreciated his role on the Inflation Reduction Act, but he just is out of touch with the base. We did not get the extension of the tax credits on the Affordable Care Act. You know, he supported the war in Iraq and he’s out of touch on some of the issues of foreign policy. So it’s time for a new dynamic leadership. Also, you know, when your football team loses, you have a new coach, if they keep losing. It’s just time to have fresh faces, bold faces, who are going to lead us forward.” MACCALLUM: “Yeah. I mean, just look at the Giants. So they’re going to get a new coach. Here’s Chris Murphy, and this is his take. Watch this. Senator Murphy.” [Clip starts] Kennedy: “Senator Schumer gambled and he lost. And he’s kind of walking around now looking like he — looking like a guy who just lost his luggage. The socialist wing of the party is controlled by Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez. I’ve never heard anybody describe her as a policymaker. My experience with her is, if you scratch the surface, you just get more surface.” MURPHY: “I think his job is really, really hard. He obviously did not want this outcome. He wanted the caucus to stay together. He was not successful in that endeavor. This is the fourth major moment this year where a handful of Democrats have crossed over and voted with Donald Trump. I don’t think that that’s the way that you save a democracy. And, yes, that means we need more effective leadership.” [Clip ends] MACCALLUM: “All right, so obviously that was Senator Kennedy at the top and then Senator Murphy. But what do you think about what Murphy says there? He’s saying, you know, that the big error was that people crossed over and made a deal. But ultimately, that’s what has to happen in, you know, a shutdown that is the longest shutdown in history. He’s, you know, he’s recognizing that Schumer was in a very tough spot.” KHANNA: “Well, he was in a tough spot and of course we needed to have a deal and have a compromise. I wanted to have an extension for the tax credit for the Affordable Care Act be permanent, like the tax breaks to the billionaires. But I was working with Michael Lawler, Sam Liccardo, a Democrat, was working with Kevin Kiley to say, well, maybe we could have a year extension, maybe a two-year extension. Let’s negotiate about who would be covered. But we got nothing. And you know what the result of that is? There’s a taxi driver in Arizona who has cancer, whose premium is going to go up from $44 a month to $2,600 a month. That to me is unacceptable and we just did not deliver for people.”

"They're little Epstein play backfired and they walked right into a trap. Now Trump is directing Bondi to investigate Epstein's relationship with Democrats."
