(CNN) — Chuck Schumer has postponed his book tour events amid anger from within the Democratic Party over the Senate minority leader’s handling of the government funding fight in Congress.

    Someone needs to be talking to Schumer’s PR team about concepts like “optics”, “timing”, and “reading the room” that are apparently foreign concepts to them. You don’t all-but abandon the Democrat party by voting for the budget he’s going to use to gut American social safety nets, essentially becoming a cuck for Trump, and saying there’s nothing the Senate can do to stop him and then go out and launch a fucking book tour days later.

    I hope his book tour stops are met with Democrat voters telling him what a fucking loser he is.

      Schumer also had the gall to say that the Democrats have ‘a Real Direction Now’.

        When asked about the future of the party, Schumer stated, “Right, I write about this in my book. We’re finally doing what’s right, righting this ship and heading in the right direction. Right away.“
