(Breitbart) Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is postponing his book tour due to “security concerns” after backlash for supporting the GOP’s continuing resolution (CR) last week.
Despite pushback from members of his own party, Schumer ultimately caved and announced he would vote for cloture on the Republican’s bill to fund the government, ultimately avoiding a government shutdown. Even President Donald Trump lauded Schumer for “doing the right thing.”
“Took ‘guts’ and courage!” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time.
“The big Tax Cuts, L.A. fire fix, Debt Ceiling Bill, and so much more, is coming,” Trump continued, encouraging Congress to “all work together on that very dangerous situation.”
“A non pass would be a Country destroyer, approval will lead us to new heights. Again, really good and smart move by Senator Schumer. This could lead to something big for the USA, a whole new direction and beginning!” Trump added.
Schumer faced tremendous pushback from Democrats. CNN’s Van Jones, for instance, said he had “never seen this level of volcanic anger at a Democrat, ever.” Hollywood celebrities declared that Schumer “betrayed” the Democrats. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) said Schumer should have threatened a shutdown to get Republican concessions.
But that did not happen, and now Schumer is postponing his book tour.
“NEWS: Schumer is postponing his book tour, amid major backlash from Democrats to his decision last week to pass the CR,” the New York Times’s Annie Karni reported, sharing a statement adding that this is due to “security concerns.”
“Due to security concerns, Senator Schumer’s book events are being rescheduled,” the statement reportedly reads.
As Breitbart News reported, Schumer’s cave was a victory for Trump and Republicans:
Nine Democrats and one Independent joined with Republicans to end debate and proceed to a final vote on the continuing resolution (CR) to avert a shutdown.
The 62-38 vote – 60 votes were needed – is a victory for President Donald Trump, who invested significant political capital over several weeks ensuring the bill passed the House en route to the Senate.
Senate Democrats’ yielding to Trump’s CR infuriated House Democrats, who were almost united in standing against the bill. Only one House Democrat – Rep. Jared Golden, representing a rural Maine district won by Trump – defected Tuesday when the CR passed the House.
Meanwhile, Schumer has maintained that his vote in favor of the CR was an act of strength.
“We always knew there would be disagreements, but I felt and those who voted with me felt that as bad as the CR was, and I know a lot of members didn’t like the CR the government shutdown would be far worse,” he said during an appearance on CNN’s The Lead.
“A government shutdown gives Donald Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE almost complete power as to what to close down because they can decide what is an essential service. If they determine that SNAP kids shouldn’t get food is not essential, they can just cut it out summarily they could fire half the workers in the federal government. It would have been a far worse consequence,” he claimed.
Antisemite Charles Schumer is Israel‘s greatest enemy, responsible for single-handedly aiding and abetting Hussein Obama‘s successfully permitting genocidal Iran to fund and obtain nuclear weapons with which to destroy Israel. This filthy bastard‘s name should go down in history as one of Israel‘s and the Jewish people’s most heinous and successful enemies. Like Hamas I think he deserves his own commemorative Nazi cookie:“Schumertaschen”.
I think the reading of the Magilla on Purim should be supplemented with section on modern day antisemites including Chuck Schumer, where are the community is invited to drown out Schumer’s name with gragers and jeering!

Alan Dershowitz may have written a book titled Chutzpah, but if anyone’s picture deserves to be in the dictionary alongside that idiomatic Yiddish word, it’s that of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). There is fierce competition for such a dubious honor among politicians. But when it comes to the most shameless opportunist, most disingenuous and most willing to betray the principles he never stops telling us he is dedicated to defending, the Senate Minority Leader wins the argument hands down.
Any doubt about that was erased when it was announced that he was writing a book about antisemitism, due to be released this week. But his office just canceled the senator’s book tour, which would have taken him to stops at prestigious Jewish venues in Atlanta, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, as well as a few scheduled appearances in California. The reason cited was “security concerns.”
That really seals the deal. At a time when Jews are facing an unprecedented surge in hate directed against them, that a Jewish leader who is protected around the clock by Capitol Police—and who claims to be a leader of his community, as well as the self-styled shomer or “guardian” of Israel—would choose to hide rather than face his critics says all there is to know about him, his book and exactly why we don’t need to hear a word from him on the subject.
