Progressive critics of Senate Minority Chuck Schumer had fresh reasons to speak out Sunday after the powerful New York Democrat said that “one of many of [his] jobs” in the US Senate was to fight for ongoing taxpayer-funded military and financial assistance to the Israeli government, a position that has been the focus of growing protest among rank-and-file party members and the public at large in the face of Israel’s brutal genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza.
“I have many jobs as [Senate] leader… and one is to fight for aid to Israel — all the aid that Israel needs,” Schumer said at a gathering of Jewish leaders and community members in New York on Sunday.
According to Jacob Kornbluh, who provided footage of the remarks while reporting for The Forward, Schumer told the audience that his support for Jewish security funding will only continue growing under his leadership, calling it his “baby.”

And he’s telling the truth. We, the people, just don’t know what his job is.
I like to say Chuck Shumer is useless, but that is untrue, he clearly has a use I just despise it.
It is his only use.
As evidenced by his actions, the only fucking thing that useless chode cares about is finding new, fun ways to funnel US taxpayers’ money to Israel and then getting his sweet kickbacks, I mean “gifts”, in response.
I hope he gets ass cancer.
Actually, he’s been very useful to fossil fuel interests too, often tag teaming with Joe Manchin to fight for their right to kill us all with impunity and ever-increasing profits.
So he has TWO uses, both of which are awful.
I mean, he’s right, that’s his job. It’s what he gets paid for and if he doesn’t do it, he’ll get a bad performace review.
Controlled opposition run by a man with an imaginary Republican couple controlling his policy decisions like Ratatouille
Um, that ain’t it, chief.
🤮🤮🤮
