While the Democratic leader worked to deflect criticism over his handling of Wednesday’s vote, frustration simmered among Democrats behind the scenes.

Schumer intentionally tanks the tariff ote and he’s got the corrupt balls to call it a win.

Pathetic Democratic leadership.

    This fucking clown. I wish he hadn’t cancelled his book tour. My buddy and I were planning to be at one of the appearances to raz him.

      Sure but god damn if at least they’re getting this right in the fact that Schumer is an effective asshole who helped tank the bill by scheduling it while a key Democratic vote was out and he’s trying to say his tanking the bill was a win.

        So…??

        Even a broken clock… 🤷‍♂️

        And “declaring a win” seems only a MAGAt characterization… More reputable media not using the “bait” language.

          Very much so a very broken clock situation.

          And literally the quote from Schumer:

          “It was a win-win either way. If we won the vote, it was a good win like we won the Canada vote,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters Thursday. “But we knew if we lost, every single Republican — including those up for election — was the single vote that kept … these onerous tariffs on the backs of the American people.

          Again, it’s been reported that Democratic leadership fucked the vote with scheduling and then claiming a “win-win” is absolute bullshit.
