Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke about the state of the Democratic party after a contentious week during which he was criticized by many of his party members. Despite this, Schumer claimed that Democrats are authentic and have “real direction now.” He added that Democrats, known as the party for working people, did not publicly voice how they were fighting for the working class in recent years, to their detriment. So their goal of decimating the whole federal government, of cutting agency after agency after agency, would occur under a shutdown,” Schumer said, adding that he was aware his decision would be unpopular among Democrats.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that the decision by Schumer and other Democrats to vote in favor of the legislation was “unthinkable.” “This turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk,” she added.
