The anger with Schumer inciting this post was not his support of the continuing resolution submitted by the GOP. The anger is generated by the subject of the Senator’s new book. Not just a book, but one warning of Antisemitism. It’s revolting that a politician who supports Anti-Semites and ignores Antisemitism when it’s politically expedient has the nerve to write a book about Antisemitism. Like Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, “I Hate The Smell Of Hypocrisy.”
During the first week of March 2019, the most liberal Congressional Democrats worked with the Congressional Black Caucus to block a resolution condemning the Antisemitism of Rep. Ilhan Omar and other Democrats. Instead, they passed a generic vanilla resolution that could have been written for Romper Room. All it said was that being mean to others is a bad thing. Chuck Schumer refused to condemn Omar’s Jew-hatred. Their silence helped Antisemitism grow like a cancer overtaking many Democrats in Congress.
During the 2024/25 predatory anti-Semitic University protests, Schumer directed Democrats to shut up! While Republicans in Congress were condemning Ivy League presidents for failing to protect Jewish students in the face of explicit intimidation, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer was privately telling the same people to “keep heads down” because their “problems are really only among Republicans,” according to a message Schumer sent that was released last week.
When anti-Semitic Keith Ellison was running to be the head of the Democratic Party, many bloggers profiled Keith Ellison. They warned about his track record of Antisemitism association with Muslim Brotherhood groups such as MAS, CAIR, and ISNA. (MAS even paid for his Hajj to Saudi Arabia), His anti-Israel actions in the House and his association with other anti-Semitic organizations. Chuck Schumer backed Ellison’s candidacy.
In March 2024, five months after the Hamas massacre of 1,200 people and kidnapping of 251, Schumer gave a speech on the floor of the Senate in which he demanded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resign. And he falsely accused the Israeli Defense Forces of targeting Arab civilians. The word is that he did it to provide cover to the Biden administration’s similar bashing of Netanyahu and the IDF.
When encampments at Columbia University — along with their accompanying violence, vandalism, and harassment of Jewish students — came to a boiling point in April, Schumer should have rushed to bring the Antisemitism Awareness Act to a vote on the Senate floor after the House overwhelmingly passed it via a bipartisan vote of 320-91 in May. But Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader, refused to schedule a Senate vote.
In October 2019, the N.Y. Senator went to the 65th birthday party of Al Sharpton, a man who made a career of hating Jews. Schumer not only went to the party but gave a gushing toast to the Anti-Semite.
Antisemitism must be rooted out, not accepted or excused. There is an unfortunate yet clear distinction between your public speaking and your advocacy behind closed doors. Sadly, in light of this report, your upcoming book seems designed to profit you personally and politically rather than enrich the dialogue surrounding antisemitism and offer concrete steps to combat it.
We look forward to your response and, hopefully, a behavior change.
Sen. Schumer Praises Jew-hater Sharpton At His Birthday Gala
What did Schumer think was remarkable about Sharpton? Perhaps the Senator took the Jew-hating Sharpton’s historic advice and pinned his yarmulke back on before he went to the birthday party. Maybe the Senate minority leader thinks the Crown Heights pogrom, or Freddy’s massacre, and Sharpton’s other anti-Semitic acts are “great and wonderful.”
In November 2024, Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) participated in a letter that accurately said;
Antisemitism must be rooted out, not accepted or excused. There is an unfortunate, yet clear distinction between your words spoken in public and your advocacy behind closed doors. Sadly, in light of this report, your upcoming book seems designed to profit you personally and politically, rather than enrich the dialogue surrounding antisemitism and offer concrete steps to combat it. We look forward to your response and to hopefully, a change in behavior.
In his book and life, Chuck Schumer talks a good game, but he never did anything. Now Schumer wrote a book partially bragging about his role protecting Jews from Antisemitism — what a load of crap.
I have been involved in politics for over two decades, and I can say that what I hate most is hypocrisy.
Chuck Schumer wrote a book that was evil and hypocritical. That’s why I say, “Go to Hell, Chuck Schumer.”
