Chuck Schumer is taking incoming from all directions.
Even his fellow leftists are fed up with him.
And now Jon Stewart shredded Chuck Schumer for one bad move.
As American Media Watchdog reports:
Democrat Infighting Continues
The Democratic Party has been engaged in a civil war, with Democrats fighting amongst themselves even as they try to come together to push back against the policies of Donald Trump.
They have been split between old-school liberals who want to work within the system to defeat Trump and a radical new breed of progressives who want to burn the whole thing down.
Chuck Schumer has found himself as a key target of that, especially with his fellow New Yorker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez breathing down his neck.
He is vulnerable to a primary challenge from Ocasio-Cortez, and everybody knows it.
Now Jon Stewart, the famous liberal pundit and comedian, is piling on Schumer, and it is going to be tough for Schumer to recover from this.
It is clear that his fellow Democrats do not like him.
And if this keeps happening, then it is hard to see a way for him to stay in office if he has to face a primary challenge.
Chuck Schumer at the Center of the Partisan Civil War
According to The Independent, “The Daily Show host Jon Stewart has mocked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as a ‘human flat tire’ over his and his party’s ineffective response to the U.S. government shutdown.”
“During his Monday night opening monologue, Stewart ran a clip of Schumer declaring at a press conference: ‘Democrats are adamant that we must protect the healthcare of the American people.’”
“The clip continues with the veteran New Yorker turning to Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar and joking: ‘New data came out today from KFF, and that is not Kentucky Fried French Fries. KFF… That’d be Kentucky French Fries, hmmm?’”
Stewart could not believe what he had just seen, as it was a perfect encapsulation of the fact that Schumer does not have much charisma and does not have an easy time connecting with people.
It will only give fuel to the progressives who are tired of him and want to take him out in order to replace him with a radical socialist who will attempt to burn the whole system down.
The article continues, “The host went on to label the Democratic leader “Hack-ie Mason” and complained at the end of his segment: “Look, I’ve given Democrats an enormous amount of s*** for their poor leadership, lack of specific and actionable plans, terrible messaging, abysmal wordplay – did I mention poor leadership? – but standing up for 75 million Americans in this moment, to defend the rights of people to go into a little less medical debt seems like the least they can f***ing do.”
Stewart was obviously not impressed.
He may share a lot of the same views as Chuck Schumer, but he apparently seems to think Schumer’s time is done.
Other Democrats feel the same too.
And if enough primary voters in New York agree with them, then it seems Schumer could be replaced with someone even more extreme.
