Awkward! MSNBC Makes Chuck Schumer Watch A Montage That Rips Him Apart
HuffPost
The Senate minority leader helped pass a GOP spending bill Friday rather than attempt to negotiate, prompting the ire of fellow Democrats.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) was made to watch a montage Tuesday of criticisms from members of his own party, after helping Republicans in Congress pass a spending bill to avert a government shutdown — rather than try to negotiate.
MSNBC’s Chris Hayes played the footage, which included comments from Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.), Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn.), Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
“Chuck and I disagree, as it relates to the approach and outcome,” said Jeffries in the clip, with Ocasio-Cortez stating: “I think there is a deep sense of outrage and betrayal. And this is not just about progressive Democrats, this is across the board, the entire party.”
“I would have liked to see when Chuck Schumer had leverage here, to say, ‘We need A, B, C and D for the Democratic Party,’ and force the Republicans to meet him halfway on those issues,” said Shapiro in an excerpt from his recent interview on “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
The GOP bill ultimately passed Friday with the help of 10 Democratic senators, including Schumer, who opted to give President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser Elon Musk new legal authority on how to spend taxpayer money rather than allow a shutdown.
