A George Soros-backed activist group has called on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down from leading the party in the chamber.
Schumer has been facing backlash from his own coalition for allowing the advance of a Republican bill to fund the federal government, including from Indivisible, an activist network that has taken over $7.6 million from Soros’ Open Society Foundation since 2017.
The co-executive director of Indivisible, Ezra Levin, said that Schumer was leading “the charge to wave the white flag of surrender.”
“The passage of this dangerous Republican funding bill is a travesty. The ongoing administrative coup led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a constitutional crisis,” Levin said.
“The authoritarians stripping away our rights and trying to loot the government to enrich the billionaires are a five-alarm fire,” he continued. “Indivisibles across the country have been organizing furiously to fight back – that’s where they want to focus. Yesterday, Chuck Schumer gravely undermined their work.”
A vote among 1,600 Indivisible group leaders found that 82 percent of leaders in New York wanted to “call for Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader,” Levin said.
“We thank him for his service, but we need new leadership in this moment and we understand to get there we need a chorus of support for change,” Levin added.
“This is a painful decision, the gravity of which we take very seriously. Senator Schumer has contributed to and led many important accomplishments that Indivisible is grateful for. But with our democracy on the line, he let us, the country, and the Democratic Party down,” he continued.
“We organize local activists in communities in every state in the country – regular people dedicating themselves to opposing Trumpism and preserving the promise of a functioning democracy. And they deserve a Democratic Party, and leadership of that party, who’s willing to fight as hard as they are.”
A source in the Trump administration responded to the growing controversies by saying, “The Democrats will have an important question to answer in the coming days: Who actually leads their party — Schumer or Soros?” the official asked.
Meanwhile, Emily Tuttle, the spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said, “Democrats are eating their own — selling out to the far-left crazies and mega-donors who are funding clown show protests across the country.”
She added that “it’s painfully obvious that George Soros doesn’t believe that ‘Leaders’ Jeffries or Schumer have the backbone to lead.”
The New York Post reported that a source close to Alex Soros said his family has not taken sides against Schumer.
“The Republicans have lost their party to tech billionaires who have finally cracked the GOP code,” the source asserted.
“Keeping the focus on George Soros is catnip to keep everyday Republicans distracted with what’s going on with tech billionaires: they’re in the hard drive of the GOP.”
Some fans yell "Leave him in."
Other fans yell "Take him out."
An operation must be performed to remove a malignant Chuck Tumor.
Adios Chunky! and take your Corona bottle and avocado with you.
I love the irony.
Some of the last of the USAID money to NGOs going to take out Schmuckey Choomer
who undoubtedly did all he could to fund this type of money laundering.
So reaching across the aisle works only one way. Got it!
“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” - William F. Buckley, Jr.
Democrats are determined to suicide.
I wouldn’t miss the useless Schmuckie [he who never worked an honest day in his life..].
His replacement will only be worse.
Sure, cut that grift lifeline to all the parasites, they squabble. But, as with muzzie civil wars, in a Demwit civil war, everybody wins. :^)
Call it a diode...
It’s cute that the left thinks that Trump would have given into their demands to end DOGE to avoid a shutdown. More likely Trump would have demanded a trillion in spending cuts, no debt limit and for DEMs to line up and kiss his a@@ before he took his foot off of their neck.
None of us is going to forget what they did to Trump or tried to do. They impeached him on phony charges. They prosecuted him on phony charges. They sent armed men to his house and humiliated his wife. An assassin tried to kill him. He understands their ruthlessness and he should keep his foot on their worthless necks every day while he is in office.
Put in Sen. “Charlie Brown’s HEAD” from California.
All this looks like Kabuki Theater.
The Dems are up to something and I bet it’s worse than simply dumping Ole UpChuck Schumer.
He better hope Soros doesn’t ask for his money back 😁
I bet it’s Jasmine Crockett or Maxine Waters. Snake Crazy...
I cannot stand Chuckie, but I admit, he actually has some brain.
His attackers???
