Senator Jeanne Shaheen just threw the minority leader under the bus.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen revealed that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer knew the entire time about the plan for a few Democrats to capitulate to Republicans on the government shutdown.
Shaheen, one of the seven Democrats (and one independent) who dropped their demand for a guaranteed extension of Obamacare subsidies, spoke to Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade on Monday morning.
Aside from serving as further proof that the Democrats are failing to act as an opposition party in any meaningful way, Shaheen’s comments also reveal one of two possible scenarios. Either Schumer was scheming to end the shutdown behind the scenes, only pretending to be against it while pinning the blame on the eight people who aren’t up for reelection anytime soon, or he has no control over his party. Either way, it proves the need for Democrats to jettison the minority leader.
I’m calling it now.
Israel told this lot to cave so the US Gov would reopen because Israel is plotting something.
Maybe they’re gearing up to attack Iran again.
Maybe they’re prepping to fully annex Palestine.
Idk why, but we know Israel has a firm grip on the GOP and most Dems. It wouldn’t surprise me if they need the US gov open and just functional enough to send them more bombs and arms to slaughter more innocent neighbors.
