I'm a Brooklynite. Chuck Schumer is my senator. And I am telling you, I am absolutely appalled and embarrassed to be represented by such a feckless and clueless legislator who is our nation’s Democratic Senate leader.
We just watched him do it again: capitulate to the Republicans, who are ripping to shreds our democracy, right in front of our faces.
What’s particularly galling about this most recent capitulation— caving on the government shutdown —is that the Democrats clearly had the upper hand. Every reputable poll showed the country correctly blamed the Republicans and Donald Trump for the shutdown. The recent election results showed the absolute anger the American people have for Trump's fascist regime. We had the wind at our backs, and Schumer still found a way to snatch defeat
