In a striking turn after Michigan’s contentious Democrat Senate primary, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer endorsed progressive Abdul El-Sayed following the latter’s narrow victory over the more moderate Rep. Haley Stevens — the candidate Schumer had actively backed throughout the race.
Yet the olive branch came amid ongoing tensions: El-Sayed, a vocal critic of the Democrat establishment, has repeatedly called for Schumer to be replaced as party leader, expressing a clear preference for Sen. Chris Van Hollen and framing Schumer’s approach as overly aligned with corporate interests and out of step with the party’s progressive base.
It's wild watching the old dogs try to control the commies they've been using for power for the past 20 or so years ...

He's backing the senator who had margaritas with an illegal accused of beating his wife.
Somehow, this reads.
Chuck Schumer just came out to endorse El Sayed and he immediately does this. It’s almost funny at this point. The DSA people hate traditional Democrats yet the latter group keeps trying to bring them in. https://t.co/OnGxQ4cFbh

Funny, sad, and a bit disturbing considering commies are dangerous to all of us, not just Democrats.
Fast forward to Chuck weeping softly, standing outside the tent

It’s embarrassing to watch these traditional Democrats compromise their actual positions to bend over backwards for these DSA nuts only to be immediately stabbed in the back by them. Have some integrity and stop endorsing scumbags.

They desperately want to stay in power.
The senate is Republican led, Schumer is the minority leader. And Schumer’s suicidal empathy did this. In what world did he think a Muslim would back a Jew?

That's what this ultimately boils down to.
