CNN Confronts Chuck Schumer on Voter ID

CNN pressed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) over his opposition to the SAVE Act and voter ID laws, noting that a clear majority of Americans support such measures. Schumer, however, maintained his position, arguing that the legislation amounts to “Jim Crow 2.0” and warning that millions of Americans could lose access to the ballot box if the SAVE Act were enacted.

“About 83 percent of the American people, including majority Democrats, support voter ID laws,” CNN’s Jake Tapper said.

“The voter ID laws that…first, each state can have its own voter ID laws, and some do, and some don’t,” the Senate Minority Leader said. “But secondly, what they are proposing in this so-called SAVE Act is like Jim Crow 2.0. They make it so hard to get any kind of voter ID that more than 20 million legitimate people, mainly poorer people and people of color, will not be able to vote under this law.”

The SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) would overhaul federal voter registration by making proof of U.S. citizenship a requirement to vote, and by forcing states to run ongoing checks to remove illegal immigrants from voter rolls. The documentation requirements are standard, including options like a U.S. passport, U.S. birth certificate, and Certificates of Citizenship or Naturalization. However, Democrats have argued that some American citizens don’t have easy access to those documents, sidelining millions of American voters.

“We will not let it pass in the Senate,” he added. “We are fighting it tooth and nail. It’s an outrageous proposal that shows the sort of political bias of the MAGA right. They don’t want poor people to vote. They don’t want people of color to vote because they often don’t vote for them.”

Schumer Moves to FEDERALIZE the Pride Flag After Rainbow Banner Removed from Stonewall Monument — Plans Bill to Make It a Congressionally Authorized U.S. Flag

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is reportedly preparing to introduce radical legislation that would effectively federalize the Pride Flag.

The uproar began when a large Pride flag was taken down from the federal monument in Greenwich Village that honors the 1969 Stonewall riots, the event widely recognized as the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ civil-rights movement.

Federal officials said the removal of the rainbow banner was to enforce longstanding rules limiting flags on National Park Service flagpoles to those officially authorized, namely the U.S. flag and certain others.

Outrage among Democrats was immediate. New York officials and activists re-raised the Pride flag days later in defiance of federal policy. The episode has now been seized upon by Schumer and allies in Congress as justification for a sweeping legislative grab.

Schumer, joined by Rep. Dan Goldman in the House, says he will introduce a bill to make the Pride flag a congressionally authorized national symbol that cannot be removed from federal monuments or properties.

Under the draft language reported in local outlets, the legislation would designate the rainbow banner as protected under federal flag law, giving it the same status as other flags sanctioned by Congress.

Chuck Schumer Lambasted After Comparing the SAVE Act to Jim Crow

The modern American left has an ugly habit of reaching for the biggest historical trauma it can find when it wants to shut down a debate.

Slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, fascism — nothing is too grave or too blood-soaked to be repurposed as a rhetorical club.

This isn’t just asinine and lazy. It’s fundamentally corrosive to the republic.

Like, for instance, when leftist lawmakers treat colorblind, baseline election rules as moral equivalents of racial terror, they’re cheapening history and poisoning public trust. Worse, they teach voters that words like “oppression” and “racism” are just props in a hackneyed, partisan script, not descriptions of real and specific evils.

And yet the tactic persists, which tells you everything you need to know about the incentives at work. Outrage travels faster than argument, and historical guilt is easier to weaponize than facts.

That brings us to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who recently decided that the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act belongs in the same moral category as Jim Crow. Seriously.

“Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller are F*cking Liars” – UNHINGED Chuck Schumer Goes on Profane Tirade Amid Homeland Security Funding Battle

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer recently went on an insane social media rant, calling Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller “f*cking liars” and demanding they be ousted from the Trump Administration. 

“Any administration that allows them to continue in office is rotten to its core,” Schumer said following the death of Alex Pretti, a violent anti-ICE rioter in Minneapolis. “The vote on appropriations is coming up Thursday night, and Democrats will not let the Republicans move forward if ICE and DHS funding are in the bill.”

This came as Democrats threatened to shut down the government if Republicans did not agree to defund the Department of Homeland Security.

Per Fox, “The deal brokered between the two would have the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill stripped from the broader six-bill package. Schumer and Democrats have been adamant that if the bill were sidelined, they’d vote for the remaining five, which includes funding for the Pentagon.

“Their agreement also tees up a short-term funding extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR), for two weeks to keep the agency funded while lawmakers negotiate restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),” the report continues.

The government is partially shut down through the weekend until House lawmakers return on Monday to pass the Senate’s package. If Democrats get the restrictions they want, say goodbye to mass deportations.

Dems Screeched for Maduro’s Ouster—Until Trump Delivered It

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is rushing to block President Trump’s successful operation to arrest Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, labeling it “lawlessness” and a violation of congressional authority—despite Schumer himself and a string of Democrats and their media mouthpieces previously blasting Trump for failing to end the Maduro regime.

With Maduro now in custody and the U.S. overseeing a transition in Venezuela, Democrats have immediately cried foul, with Schumer appearing on ABC’s “This Week” to decry the move as unauthorized nation-building that will cost American lives and dollars.

Schumer declared, “The American people this morning are scratching their heads in wonderment and in fear of what the president has proposed,” adding, “We have learned through years when America tries to do regime change and nation building in this way, the American people pay the price in both blood and in dollars.”

Whoops: Schumer’s ‘Open Mouth, Insert Foot’ Moment as Dems’ Hypocrisy Hits Hyper Drive on Venezuela

Democrats have been losing their minds over President Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela to capture and arrest the dictator Nicolás Maduro, who was wanted in the United States and had been under indictment for five years.

We saw Democrats calling it illegal and claiming that Trump needed Congressional approval to effect Maduro’s arrest. Their hypocrisy is something else, given the actions taken by Democrats like Barack Obama in the past. 

Do they recall how many civilians Barack Obama in foreign countries reportedly took out with his drone actions, which led to some referring to him as the Droner-in-Chief?

Obama embraced the US drone programme, overseeing more strikes in his first year than Bush carried out during his entire presidency. A total of 563 strikes, largely by drones, targeted Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen during Obama’s two terms, compared to 57 strikes under Bush. Between 384 and 807 civilians were killed in those countries, according to reports logged by the Bureau.

Do they recall Obama’s actions in Libya that went on for months without Congressional approval? They even had ABC questioning his actions. Can anyone forget this?

Is Chuck Schumer Pulling a Jussie Smollett? It Sure Looks Like It.

Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor Monday to announce that multiple bomb threats had been directed at three of his New York offices, claiming law enforcement informed him about emails with “MAGA” in the subject line and messages alleging the 2020 election was rigged. If this story sounds familiar, that’s because it plays like a bad rerun of the Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax, where the actor claimed two men in red caps attacked him while shouting, “This is MAGA country.” The parallels are almost too perfect to ignore.

“Mr. President, this morning, I was informed by New York law enforcement of multiple bomb threats made against my offices in Rochester, Binghamton, and Long Island. The bomb threats against my offices came with the email subject line ‘MAGA’ and from an email address alleging the 2020 election was rigged.”

Yes, because Trump supporters are still griping about 2020 when Trump is in office in 2025. Give me a break.

“Local and federal law enforcement responded immediately and are conducting full security sweeps, and investigations are ongoing,” Schumer continued. “Everyone, thank God, is safe, and I’m grateful for the quick and professional response of federal and local law enforcement to ensure that these offices remain safe and secure for all New Yorkers.”

Something tells me they never were unsafe.

Schumer concluded, “As I’ve said many times, these kinds of violent threats have absolutely no place, no place in our political system.”

Yeah, we’ve been saying that on the right for a long time now. Where were you, Chuck?

IT BEGINS: Senator Cory Booker Calls for Schumer’s Removal — Says It Is ‘Time For New Leadership’ in Senate

Senator Chuck Schumer is increasingly looking like a dead man walking.

Less than a week after Schumer brokered a deal to end the government shutdown, Democrats are still seething mad at this supposed betrayal.

Speaking in New Hampshire over the weekend, Booker was asked about Schumer’s continued position as Senate Minority leader.

Chuck Schumer’s generation, Nancy Pelosi’s generation, John Lewis’s generation, they have so much to be proud of,” he said.

“It is time, though, for new leadership. The other generations, X, Millennials, Z, it’s time for us to step up. The stage is waiting for us to lead.”

Booker joins a growing chorus of Democrats calling for Schumer to step aside, becoming the first senator to do so.

Several House Democrats have already expressed the same view, among them Reps. Ro Khanna of California, Ayanna Pressley and Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, Delia Ramirez of Illinois, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.

”Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced,” Khanna wrote last week.

“If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?|

Idiot Schumer Makes a Fool of Himself When Asked Why Biden Never Released the Epstein Files

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made a fool of himself when asked why Joe Biden never released the Epstein files.

“Why wouldn’t [the Epstein files] have been released the past four years when President Biden was in office?” a reporter asked Schumer.

“Well, that’s the question every American is asking — not every American but so many Americans are asking…what the hell is he hiding?” Schumer said without specifying that he is referring to President Trump.

“Why doesn’t he want them released? When you don’t want something like this released when a whole lot of Republicans are calling for the release — his own party members… people ask the question, ‘What’s he hiding?!’” Schumer said.

The Democrats are always projecting.

President Trump on Sunday evening said the Republicans should vote to release all of the Epstein files.

Trump previously instructed the Justice Department to release transcripts related to the Epstein trafficking cases.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin Reveals Schumer Held Secret BACKROOM MEETING — Ordered Democrat Senators to Keep Government SHUT Until After Elections

Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of orchestrating a secret “backroom deal” with fellow Democrats to deliberately keep the government shut down until after Tuesday’s elections.

During an interview, Mullin disclosed that Schumer privately instructed Senate Democrats to “wait it out” rather than negotiate with Republicans to reopen the government.

Mullin blasted the strategy as a cynical move to protect Democrat turnout in key states.

Sen. Mullin:
“Senate Democrat said, “We feel like now, after the No Kings rally, our neck is simply in a guillotine, and now they’ve got to wait until after the election.”

Last week, Liz, I know Dick Durbin wanted to break with the Democrats and reopen the government. Chuck Schumer, in a private meeting with other Democrat senators, said that if they’d just wait until after the election, he’d release the handcuffs. I added the “handcuffs” part, but basically, I’m paraphrasing what he said.

The reason why is because they’re afraid their base wouldn’t show up today in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York. It’s been about politics—it’s never been about policy. It’s been about holding the American people as leverage points, regardless of the damage they caused to the livelihood of these individuals.

But elections are more important to the Dems because their polling numbers are at the very bottom—lower than they’ve ever been for the Democrat Party.”

The ongoing Schumer Shutdown is now entering its fifth week, with Democrats repeatedly voting against efforts to reopen the government.

They continue to demand taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants, federal funding for far-left PBS “propaganda,” and a staggering $1.5 trillion in new spending.
