NYC protesters rally outside Chuck Schumer’s home to demand he step down over budget vote: ‘Devastating lack of leadership’
NY Post ^ | 3/23/25 | Valentina Jaramillo, Steve Janoski

About 100 protesters rallied outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s Park Slope home Sunday to rip him for folding on a GOP-backed spending bill — with one sign reading, “Lost spine, if found please return to Chuck.”

Schumer — the Empire State’s 74-year-old senior senator and Democratic caucus leader since 2017 — has insisted he won’t step down from his leadership role despite mounting pressure to do so.

The senator showed a “devastating lack of leadership as he capitulated to [President] Trump, [Elon] Musk and the GOP during negotiations over government funding,” said a statement from Indivisible Brooklyn, the liberal group that staged the demonstration at Schumer’s Brooklyn home.

“Since then, Senator Schumer has been pleading his case on multiple platforms, but New Yorkers aren’t buying it,” the statement said. “Schumer is not meeting the dire moment: It’s time for new leadership in the Senate that will fight fascism tooth and nail.”

Some of Sunday’s picketers toted signs that read, “Stand up or step down” and, “Resist or resign.”

About a dozen officers stood watch outside the embattled leader’s home, which was also protected by metal barricades that forced the protesters across the street.

“Your time is up, Chuck!” they chanted as the cops looked on.

Jennie Spector, one of Indivisible Brooklyn’s organizers, told The Post that Schumer “really betrayed us [and] betrayed the people who are counting on him to step up and protect us from what is clearly a fascist government in the White House.

“We’re calling on him to step down as minority leader because he’s not the leader we need at this moment,” Spector said.

Dear Schmuckie:

His constituents’ anger even forced him to postpone his book tour last week because of security concerns.

The Dems deserve this seven fold. Their money side and ideals side are on two opposing ends and they hate each other. The radicals want the money but don’t want to make concessions, the establishment is scared of the radical leftism and act blue may be gone soon.

Just call them the Neo-whigs.

Nothing tickles me more than seeing schumer getting consumed by the very monster he helped create.

He has committed the cardinal sin against the neo-communist left: Failure to exhibit total adherence to leftist ideology.

Let him burn for it.

RE: who the hell would replace him?

They said that about Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Peter Sellers, JFK
and John Lennon.

The Dems would have to fight through the tears and get a new Schumer clone. Or a junior Marxist revolutionary.

The communists deserve everything coming their way...every bit of it...BIG TIME.
They’ve done everything they could possibly do to destroy our nation...basstids.
Who in hell would replace him? Satan more than likely has the perfect replacement just standing by waiting on its master’s signal..

RE: to demand he step down....

Pick A Hill to Die On (from Pick a Bale of Cotton).

Gotta jump down, turn around,
modify my voting,
gotta jump down, compromise,
screw some voting blocs.

Oh, Soros, pick a bill to die for,
oh, Soros, keep the money high.

Gotta lock out AOC, Warren
and old Sanders,
Gotta lock ‘em out, fight ‘em,
Keep myself in power.

Note: Ballad of America says “During the time of slavery and beyond, work on the Southern plantation was often enlivened by the singing of work songs. Singing moved the work along faster and made the physical labor and drudgery a little easier to bear. A bale of cotton weighs 500 pounds, which is more than anyone could really pick in a single day.”

Dems can’t even stick their pinky off the plantation without major repercussions.

They turn on their own faster than some FReepers turn on Republicans. Noem comes to mind for a couple things.

When the Molotov cocktails start flying through the picture windows I’ll believe this is real. Until then I assume it’s a stunt to make Schoomer look moderate.
