(CNN)Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on President Donald Trump to withdraw the nomination of Andrew Puzder, to head the Labor Department, citing his record as a business executive and his position on labor issues. "They ought to withdraw Mr. Puzder before he further embarrasses this administration and further exposes the hypocrisy of President Trump, who says one thing to the American worker and does another," the New York Democrat said Thursday at a news conference, referencing Puzder, the CEO of CKE Restaurants, which runs Hardee's and Carl's Jr. Schumer said Puzder's record contradicts campaign promises Trump made to the working class.

"You could not have picked a worse nominee to uphold these goals than Andew Puzder," he said. "Everything in his career is antithetical to the goals of the Department of Labor."

President Trump should publicly call on Chuckee to RESIGN instead of being an Obstructionist.

Another one to ignore. The Dems’ all-nighters have gone by the wayside; let’s see if Schumer really wants to keep this up.

Senator Schumer, I am putting a request that you resign from the Senate. You were at one time restricting Muslim travelers and now you cry when some are temporarily held up for further vetting. I do not think you have the emotional fortitude to be a leader of this great land. Please step down and let a real man have your role.

In other words, Chuck doesn't like the fact that Puzder holds conservative positions that go against the DOL expanding liberal policies. Go away, Chuck, no one cares what you have to say anymore.

As the guy who approved these commercials, he definitely should have a cabinet post.

Look at what Democrats and corrupt labor leaders have done for workers.

LOL! Chucky ought to stop embarrassing his own self and helping to make an even bigger mockery of his Party of petty, spiteful childishness...

Maybe we’ll find out next week?

I saw a Protestor Sign that a Hardee’s Employee (you assume) was carrying saying Puzder makes more money in an day then I make in a year.

Well, Madonna makes even more. Should she be arrested or something?

Shut up, Schmuckie! You’re a subversive as are all members of the leftist Democrat Party. You’re also a pimple on the ass of progress and due for a lancing.

Hmmmm...let us look at the Constitutional requirement for a “Department of Labor” as a cabinet position, shall we?

Don’t see it.

Eliminate it and fire everyone associated. Have Schumer explain the losses to the now-unemployed. Group meeting!
