Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) once again proved he has as little class in victory as he does in defeat.
After Republicans handed Schumer a massive win by caving on the debt ceiling, Schumer absolutely blasted Republicans in a fiery speech on the Senate floor.
The speech was not received well, to say the last.
A Time and a Place
Politicians make speeches and shred the opposing party… that is what they do.
That is fine in most cases but should absolutely not be the place after they saved your party from defaulting.
In part, Schumer stated, “Yesterday, Senate Republicans finally realized that their obstruction was not going to work.
“I thank, very much thank, my Democratic colleagues for our showing our unity in solving this Republican-manufactured crisis.”
As Schumer was giving his speech, Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) could be seen with his head in hands, shaking in disapproval of the words that Schumer chose after the win.
Manchin slammed Schumer for going to war with Republicans after repeatedly saying that he wants to work with Republicans and asking for unity.
Manchin stated, “I didn’t think it was appropriate at this time.”
He also reportedly called the speech “stupid.”
One Republican who voted “yes” on the proposal was also less than thrilled…
THUNE, who voted yes on cloture said of Schumer's speech: "I thought was totally out of line"
"I just thought it was incredibly partisan speech after we had just helped them solve a problem," he said.
"I let them have it," he said.

Senator Romney (R-UT) added, “There’s a time to be graceful and there’s a time to be combative. That was a time for grace and common ground.”
Another Republican who voted “yes,” Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), called Schumer’s rant a “classless speech.”
When will they learn?

Wow, they are finally WAKING UP. I realized it YEARS and YEARS ago when he was a MEMBER of the HOUSE with dreams of something HIGER and more POWERFUL. ALL ahead to PROMOTE CHUCKIE SCHUMER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope the Republicans have learned there lesson to not help another Democrat when Decenber deadline is up. Tell them to kiss your as..
amen
The only thing that the Repubs know is to give. They never learned how to take especially their leader McConnell. He has to go.
McConnell and Lindsay Graham are two RINOS that talk about how we should stop the rampage of the Leftists Democrats and then help Democrats accomplish their plans.
They have to go. They’re not for the people, they just care about staying in power. RINOS 👹
Are you kidding,
All republicans are a bunch of loud mouth chickens, they are most of the problem in the House and Senate with their wishy washing and caving to the Democrats every time the say something so brave and cave at the last minute. Voters we need an entire new House and Senate vote every damn incumbent out and start anew we as voters can determine TERM Limits by OUR VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, Term limits would be the best place to start. but the states are chicken to do that too.
The republicans should not give in!!!!! That made all republicans look weak!!
The communist mind is vacant, somewhat like a wild animal devouring a fresh kill, violant and protective to which another should never get close to, but should shun and cast out of the pack.
very well said… They will never do it… Everyone seems afraid of the evil democrats..
Republicans make me sick bowing to their every whim…..Will they ever get some backbone
and do their job ???????????????????
It’s past time that Schumer is removed from office permanently.
That does it. I have considered myself a Republican but after their spineless caving yesterday, I will no longer support the Republican party. I consider myself a Conservative from here on out. What a bunch of spineless, selfish fish. Shumer is no worse than those that caved as far as I am concerned.
Little Chucky Schumer is like a 3 year old trying to get his way any way he can !!!!!!!!!!
They all make me sick
Pedophile !
THE OLD SAYING HAS COME TRUE: “YOU GIVE THEM A INCH AND THEY WILL TAKE A MILE”. BUT NOW THEY COME ACTING LIKE THEY ARE YOU BEST FRIEND AND WANT YOUR SUPPORT. TELL THEM OK AND THIS TIME PUT THE HURT ON THEM. THIS IS THE PROPER THING AS A PAY BACK FOR CLAIMING THE TOTAL PARTY DID THIS AND GOT IT DONE WITH OUT ANY HELP.
Chuck The Schmuck Schumer strikes again!
It took three attempts to get one small post to go through. But then again, what else can you expect from the very politically biased parent corp. of this site? Every time I attempt to post a comment the same thing happens. Poor quality site as usual.
Charles schumer is about as two faced as they come. He will smile in your face, promise you all kinds of things he NEVER intends to deliver on, while plunging the knife DEEP into your back.
Chicken Stuff Schumer will absolutely NOT face anyone who opposes him face to face, no, he will do what his slimy behind does, STAB YOU IN THE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE, JUST LIKE ALL SUCK FACE LIBERALS, will manufacture dirt on someone and destroy their business, marriage, and life, if he feels like someone is a “perceived” threat. Doesn’t have to be a REAL threat, just “perceived”.
We are in the last days, read Matthew chapter 24, if you disbelieve me. Jesus will make his next return on “a day you think not”.
China Joe Obribem and his corrupt family will be “cast into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth”.
PIGLOSI has not “stored up her treasures in heaven, where neither thief nor moth corrupt”. Regarding abortion, she “would rather a millstone be hanged around her neck and cast into the midst of the sea, than harm one of these little ones”.
Can you imagine how bugeyed Adam Schiff is going to be when Jesus tells him “depart from me you worker of iniquity, I NEVER KNEW YOU”
Oh, it’s going to be a glorious day when Jesus comes back and delivers us from the EVIL that is at work in our government.
Our work will be done and we can sit and watch all these feckless and morally bankrupt individuals get what they deserve.
China Joe Obribem made a deal with obama, “you get me elected president and I will let you have your 3rd term”
So, here we are folks. Stand strong, pray without ceasing, and believe your “redemption draweth nigh”.
Schumer would have nothing to say if that fool Mitch McConnell had not dumped the Republicans in the s**t and provided the platform for Schumer.
