Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s problems within the Democrat Party grow by the hour.
Big names are speaking out against him.
And now Chuck Schumer will be looking over his shoulder after what Jen Psaki just said about him.
Chuck Schumer drew the ire of Democrats when he waved the white flag of surrender in a fight with President Trump over a bill to freeze spending.
Democrats insisted Schumer shut the government down to force Trump to end DOGE and fire Elon Musk as a condition of getting Democrat votes to open the government.
Schumer knew that was a losing hand and tapped out before incurring too much political damage.
Democrat voters suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome and still think Trump is an illegitimate president.
Schumer agreeing to the funding freeze infuriated Democrats as they thought it legitimized Trump as president.
Polls showed Schumer’s approval rating plummeting to 17 percent.
Even Jen Psaki had fun at Schumer’s expense in an appearance on leftist comedian Stephen Colbert’s podcast.
Colbert mocked Schumer for a weak response to Trump threatening to freeze $2 billion in federal grants to Harvard after Harvard refused to crack down on anti-Semitism on campus and end DEI programs.
“But Chuck Schumer, he wrote a very strong letter,” Colbert quipped.
“With eight strongly worded questions,” Psaki snarked back. “You left out that part.”
“What more can you ask of a leader?” Colbert sarcastically replied.
“If that’s not going to make you shake in your boots, I don’t know what is,” Psaki answered.
Psaki and Colbert were referring to Schumer’s comments to CNN where he said his planned response to Trump dismantling institutions – like colleges, which served as proxies for the Democrat Party – was just to write a letter where he rhetorically finger-wagged at the president.
“A bunch of us Jewish senators just sent a letter to the administration saying, detail the specific incidents of antisemitism and why cutting money off to cancer research or to Alzheimer’s research has anything to do with antisemitism. It doesn’t,” Schumer told CNN. “So, we sent him a very strong letter just the other day asking eight very strong questions about why this isn’t just a pretext.”
In a frightening sign of where the Democrat Party is headed, Psaki praised Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s recent speech where critics contend Pritzker attempted to incite violence against Trump and his supporters.
Pritzker ranted that “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” adding that their portraits will hang in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors.”
“It was incredibly powerful and strong. The message he was sending was, ‘I’m a fighter, I’m going to say the things, I’m gonna call out the do-nothing Democrats,’ his words, not my words. He’s going to call out what he’s seeing in the Trump administration,” Psaki said of Pritzker’s speech.
“Go lead a protest. Go to a red state. Go hold a town hall. Go to El Salvador, whatever it may be. Do stuff. People want to know you’re fighting and doing things,” Psaki added. “If Democrats are going to rely on the tactics of old, they will lose.”
