Defiant Chuck Schumer hits back at Nancy Pelosi, vows ‘I’m not stepping down’

A defiant Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer vowed that he will not step down from his leadership role any time soon while strenuously defending his decision to vote against blocking a GOP bill to avert a partial government shutdown.

Schumer (D-NY), 74, who has been facing a progressive revolt over his shutdown vote earlier this month, reiterated that he “did this out of conviction” and fired back at detractors such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)

“Look, I’m not stepping down,” Schumer told NBC’s “Meet the Press” in a pre-taped interview that aired Sunday. “I did it out of pure conviction as to what a leader should do and what the right thing for America and my party was. People disagree.”

I would LOL if Chuck Schumer paraphrased something from Charlton Heston, I’ll give up Senate Leadership when they pry it from my cold dead hands, with Schumer it pretty much is a true statement.

This is all show. The Democrats know that by "caving", Schumer kept the judges in place so they could impede Trump's policies at every turn.

This could also be Trump's "get out of jail free" card. He can always blame the Democrats for anything that results from being blocked by the Democrat judges, such as violent crimes committed by illegals. "If the Democrat judges hadn't prevent me from removing those cartel members, then those crimes would not have occurred."

He should remind her she is the daughter of a heroin smuggler and tell her to shut up.

Did you know that 4 families have run California for over 80 years?

The loudmouth violent extreme leftists of the party are taking over ... and I couldn't be more thrilled.

THAT is the reason they lost in November and for some reason they don't GET IT. They think they didn't go left enough.

Actually, I think parts of the ‘fight’ are staged.
The Dems aren’t going to help ‘shut down government’.
Their voter base, at least the ones still alive, is made up in large part by the parasite class.

When Nancy Pelosi want you gone you are gone. She makes Michael Corleone look like St. Michael the Archangel in comparison
