Hugh Hewitt: Schumer Won't Be Able to Shake the "Schumer Shutdown"

The “Schumer Shutdown” is effectively over, just in time for us to clean up the airport mess get the food that SNAP recipients. This epic failure of the record-setting shutdown of the federal government is carved in political stone for as long as Schumer will be remembered.

The Congressional Democrats looked and acted like children throughout this record-setting escapade.

The biggest loser?—after the people actually hurt or at least inconvenienced by this stunt? That would be the Democratic “leader” in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, and by a lot.

His strategy from the start was to head off a primary challenge in 2028 from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and that’s it.

Schumer put everyone through this business because he thought it might help his chances of spending another six years in elected office, something he has been doing since 1975. Schumer has been on the taxpayer’s payroll for over 50 years already.

The collapse of his costly “Schumer Shutdown” stunt will trail Schumer for the rest of his career—a career that may well be shorter as a result of this gambit.
