Thousands of protesters gather outside Chuck Schumer’s apartment

Thousands of angry demonstrators gathered outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s luxury Brooklyn apartment building — holding up signs and chanting “What the f–k, Chuck?!” — to protest his lukewarm stance on President Trump’s cabinet picks.

“Senator Schumer needs to know we’re watching him,” fumed Brad Wolchansky, a 40-year-old soccer coach from Flatbush who was carrying a cardboard cutout of a giant eye on Tuesday night.

“He works for us. We need him to be bold. We need him to stand up to Trump and oppose his picks,” Wolchansky said.

He and roughly 3,000 others gathered at Grand Army Plaza around 6 p.m. before eventually making their way over to Schumer’s building at 9 Prospect Park West, between Carroll and President streets.

As they marched, the anti-Trump demonstrators waved signs saying “Resist Trump” and “Show Some Spine Schumer” — while also chanting things like “Stay strong, Chuck” and “Shut it down, shut it down, New York is an immigrant town.” SEE ALSO Democrats vow to fight Trump's Gorsuch nomination Democrats vow to fight Trump's Gorsuch nomination

The group is ultimately up in arms over what they refer to as Schumer’s “centrist” beliefs and willingness to play ball with the president.

While Schumer did say Monday that he would oppose at least eight of Trump’s cabinet nominees, he has already voted “yes” on three of his picks: Gen. James Mattis for the Department of Defense, Gen. John Kelly for the Department of Homeland Security and Mike Pompeo for the CIA.

“What the f–k, Chuck?!”

The most salient feature of leftists is always their vulgarity.

Hold some of these procedures in the middle of the country so WE can go protest. This is ridiculous. The activities are taking place in the middle of Sodom and it is so far we can’t get a group there without spending thousands to even protest. It makes it look like we don’t care. Lies, lies...it is all deception.

In revolutionary France, the National Convention arrested, jailed, tortured and ultimately executed Robespierre too. The “Revolution” eats its own.

Schumer won’t be able to handle much more of this - he’s not a worker.

I love it when Chuck gets a taste of the lunatic left’s anger.

This will not go over well for him.

I loathe his politics but I loved his quoting the stirring letter of Sullivan Blue at the inaugural.

Seems the people protesting him want none of it.

Finally, a Liberal slogan I agree with.

When I read people were protesting Chuck Schumer, I assumed they were good guys, and winced at the vulgar language. Should have known they were from the other side!
