House Dems Are Melting Down Over Schumer Caving On Government Shutdown: AOC Dodges Question On CNN

Posted • March 14, 2025: House Democrats are livid. The progressive grassroots is aghast. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), after taking a victory lap after the first cloture vote on the House GOP’s continuing resolution, which would fund the government for another six months, totally caved yesterday. He’s going to vote to keep the government open. Republicans needed a handful of Democratic votes to get to 60. They didn’t have it on Tuesday. They will soon, with Schumer and now Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) announcing they’d support keeping the government open. Schumer will get pummeled by the left for this decision. But make no mistake abt it -- he's trying to save the party from making a mistake. Hard to see a way out of the shutdown for Dems. And notably, he's the only Dem leader who has been willing to tell his party what they don't want to hear.

For once, House Democrats are angrier with their own party than Donald Trump. It’s ironic: the liberal media and the Democrats expected GOP disarray and chaos, and this shutdown fight sparked a civil war among themselves. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who Schumer is rumored to be wary of regarding a primary challenge, might have been given the push she needs to plan on that front. But first, she’s mobilizing House Democrats against Mr. Schumer. AOC’s brain completely short circuits when she’s asked about Chuck Schumer saying a shutdown would’ve been worse than accepting the CR. She then pushes the lie that Trump’s tax cut only benefits billionaires. The Hill debunked that hoax. Middle-income filers benefit the most. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gl99sWFWoAAZaxc?format=jpg&name=large 🚨 AOC is big mad at Chuck Schumer over caving on the CR — asked if she will ever try to challenge Schumer. She dodges the question. (…)
