George Soros-backed group leads Chuck Schumer retirement push, sparking GOP to ask: ‘Who actually leads their party?’
NY Post ^ | 03/20/2025 | Steven Nelson

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing a rebellion over his decision to help pass a six-month spending bill to avert a federal shutdown last week— and Republicans have noted that one of Democratic megadonor George Soros’ groups is helping to lead the charge.

Indivisible, an activist hub that has received more than $7.6 million since 2017 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations, has called for Schumer to step down for helping pass the bill and is hosting a virtual event Saturday in which activists are encouraged to write happy retirement cards to the Brooklyn Democrat.

“The Democrats will have an important question to answer in the coming days: Who actually leads their party — Schumer or Soros?” a Trump White House official told The Post — though a source close to Soros dismissed the notion as a “daydream.”

“Democrats are eating their own — selling out to the far-left crazies and mega-donors who are funding clown show protests across the country. It’s painfully obvious that George Soros doesn’t believe that ‘Leaders’ [Hakeem] Jeffries or Schumer have the backbone to lead,” added NRCC spokeswoman Emily Tuttle.

Indivisible claims to have 1,600 local chapters and lists 10 paid staffers on its website. It’s unclear to what extent the organization receives permission from major financial backers before making significant political decisions such as calling for Schumer, 74, to retire.

The group’s co-executive director Ezra Levin announced the drive to oust Schumer this past Saturday, saying shortly after the funding bill passed: “Senator Schumer should step aside as leader. Every Democrat in the Senate should call for him to do so, and begin making plans for new leadership immediately. “

Amazing, Trump wanted the shutdown. It would have him given fast track to close entire unnecessary departments. Cryin Chuck knew this but now half of the party wants to lynch him.

I’d love to get rid of ‘Ol Schmucky. And them replacing him with an even more bat-crap crazy lunatic sounds good to me. They will relegate themselves even further into the dust bin.

Schumer realized it too late to make his case, so it looks like he folded. He knew Trump with no judges to play speed bump would have been epic for us.

Too bad for Schmuckie.

The letter after the name means jack anymore.

The ONLY reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.

A pol is either loyal to our constitutional republic or to Deep State.

As long as Deep State is allowed to pick our candidates for us and rig elections, we’ll continue to have pols loyal to Deep State.

Which is a great indicator about how unaware the dems are. They still don’t get it, haven’t learned a thing. So, let them dump Chuck and install a true loonie like AOC or the shrieking Arab. L

“Satan leads the party.”
Right. And Obama is demon, along with the Soros family and other assorted globalist destroyers.
Their judge pawn army against Trump and US citizens should all be thrown in prison for attempting to usurp a US President.

I believe George’s son Alex is pretty much running the show now and has left a pretty ominous trail of meeting with the top Congre$$ional Demoncrsats already.
