Step aside, 74-year-old Chuck Schumer. We need someone who will fight to defend democracy, not make namby-pamby statements about "time look to the future"


 
HeadlineThe Contrarian (Jennifer Rubin, 1/22/2025)
Democracy defenders anticipated that Democrats might be caught on their back feet, but when the Senate minority leader issues anodyne declarations so utterly inapt in the current climate, it’s time to look for a single charismatic voice, one well-versed in law and unafraid to trim her sails. (Sen. Chuck Schumer’s statement after a deeply dishonest, dark, dangerous inaugural address suggested he had not been listening closely: “It’s now time to look to the future. The challenges that face America are many and great. The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.”)  [emphasis added]
