"Schumer" means "good for nothing", by the way. It was a surname given to bums and conmen.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faced a brutal reality check on national television after refusing to admit that weakening Iran's military is a "good thing." From his "Schomer Israel" roots to pleasing the radical left, here's why Schumer is now putting party politics over Middle East security.
Schumer used to say his name is Schumer because he is "Schomer Israel" in Senate. Today he not only doesn't defend Israel, he defend those who want to destroy Israel in order to please the radicals in his party.
On March 23, 2026 the Gateway Pundit reported "The radical left’s hatred for President Trump’s “America First” successes has officially reached a point of clinical insanity. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer embarrassed himself on national television after refusing again and again to admit a simple truth: weakening the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism is a good thing. And it wasn’t a conservative who called him out, it was MSNOW’s own Joe Scarborough. It was so bad that even far-left host Joe Scarborough was forced to stop the Senator mid-ramble and demand a straight answer..."
The Washington Examiner reported "Washington Examiner columnist Guy Benson said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is “looking over his shoulder” to not upset his voter base when making statements on Iran. Schumer got into a heated exchange with MS Now’s Joe Scarborough when asked if it’s good that Iran’s military infrastructure has been degraded in the U.S.’s conflict with them on Monday. Schumer argued this is “a premature question,” and asked “what’s going to happen in the next several months,” though Scarborough countered that the answer to his question is “yes,” and most U.S. residents view Iran’s military degradation as “a good thing.”
"Benson noted that ... the “center of gravity” of his voting “left-wing base” is moving toward an anti-Israel stance, preventing him from saying it’s good that Iran’s military capabilities have been handicapped by the United States and Israel. “He can say it’s fine to look ahead and have concerns and wonder about endgame and have any number of worries about — that’s all fair and fine,” Benson said on Fox Business’s Varney & Co. Tuesday. “Scarborough’s point is like, ‘No, but you’re seeing their missiles get destroyed, you’re seeing their nuclear program get obliterated, isn’t that unto itself a good thing?’ “And I think Schumer, looking over his shoulder at the voters he needs and the people that they’re electing now around him, trying to keep his leadership position, he can’t even answer that question in the most obvious way possible because of some of these pressures that you’re talking about,” Benson said.
Schumer refuses to admit that weakening the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism is a good thing. Even leftists like Joe Scarborough admit that. Schumer prefers to defend Iran in order not to upset his anti-Israel voting base.

He supports Iran.
Quite a continued transformation for Schumer into madness.
I believe he was the only Democrat (or at least one of the very few Democrats) that opposed the Obama Iran deal.
Proof positive he’ll do anything, sell out anyone, to hold onto power.
No principles, whatsoever.
That’s because Democrats are on the side of terrorism and illegal aliens.
Would he rather wait 10 years until Iran had numerous nuclear weapons and missiles with delivery capacity before doing something?
There probably are people to the left of Chuckles, but you would need binoculars to see them.

All he cares about is getting elected.
His base hates Jews and Israel, so he hates Jews and Israel.
It’s strange. Democrats pander to their base. Republicans spit on their base.
JINO.
“Would he rather wait 10 years until Iran had numerous nuclear weapons and missiles with delivery capacity before doing something?”
He’s a spineless, dickless “yes man” who will do whatever he’s told……..
He’s either getting bribes or has skeletons in his closet like the rest of the psycho, America-hating demoncrat cult.
Cuck, the Smuck, is a full-blown, anti-American communist and leader of the Communist Party USA!!!! The useless turd can’t even cook a cheeseburger properly....and....the SOB should be doing time in a federal prison for threatening those SCOTUS judges the way he did. IF any of us did what he did, that’s exactly where we’d be today. But no, not lil Chucky. He’s got a big ole communist D-NY after his name... Spit.
Yes, so he could blame some Republicans for that happening.
I guarantee you if a President Harris had done the EXACT SAME THING and gone to war with Iran, the media would be praising her strong leadership, telling everyone to get over the high gas prices that its worth it to topple a horrible regime who slaughtered thousands of innocent protestors and if you are against this war you are a traitor to this country that is what the commie media would be saying if a Dem were doing this
