Schumer should call for regime change in New Jersey not Israel

"Way back in 1975, when Schumer was a rookie in the New York State Assembly, he quickly won a reputation among Albany reporters as a guy who never shuts up. He would leap to his feet and express his views on the most mundane of bills, causing news reporters in the chamber to audibly groan, “Oh no, Schumer again!' ” RCP

Silvio Canto, Jr. - American Thinker   "Who knew that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would have us talking about regime change again?   

 "Well, yes he did.  He wants a new election in Israel, a sovereign nation the last time I checked.

 "What makes all of this interesting is that Sen. Schumer should look next door and call for elections.  I am talking about Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey.

"This is from A.B. Stoddard:  

SENATE MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER shocked the world last week with his condemnation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It was unexpected, unusual, and—in some quarters—unwelcome.

 But it was courageous. Because Schumer is the highest-ranking Jewish official in the nation, and a steadfast ally of Israel—and of Bibi himself—it was explosive. Despite the controversy it would invite, Schumer was compelled to tell the truth as he sees it.

 Now he must call for Sen. Bob Menendez to resign. It’s nearly six months overdue.

"Yes, we are waiting Chuck.  We are waiting for you to do your job as the Senate Majority Leader.  Nobody appointed Sen. Schumer as "election interventionist" in Israel but he does an interest in the integrity of the U.S. Senate.

 "So why call for a new election in Israel and not New Jersey?  Well, maybe it's tradition or the old bit about letting New Jersey decide.  On the other hand, maybe it's all about Michigan, a state where the Biden policy in Israel is a problem, real problem.  

"Israel has a right to defend itself and Senator Schumer needs to apologize and follow up on the Alejandro Mayorkas impeachment."

"Chuck Schumer’s Tired Vanity Act Needs a Rest | RealClearPolitics  "The time has come for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to pack his bags and shuffle back home to Brooklyn.

"The New York Democrat has been around politics way too long. Aside from being a politician, he’s never held a real job since graduating from Harvard Law School nearly a half-century ago. And as they say about washed-up pitchers in baseball: He seems to have lost his fastball.

"But like many a career politician, Schumer, 73, is the last to realize it. He clearly showed last week that he is losing his stuff when he recklessly overstepped his bounds and publicly called on duly elected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, embroiled in a war with Hamas, to step down and hold new elections.

" 'At this critical juncture, I believe a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision-making process about the future of Israel at a time when so many Israelis have lost confidence on the vision and direction of their government,” said Schumer, who is Jewish.

"That’s like a leader in the Knesset, Israel’s top legislative body, calling on President Biden to quit. Such a bold order would be greeted here in the U.S. with laughter and scorn. Israelis, who view America as its moral and stalwart protector from those intent on destroying the Jewish state, were disconcerted – and appalled at the implications of Schumer’s implied threats. An obviously miffed Netanyahu called the Senate leader’s remarks “wholly inappropriate.”

" 'We're not a banana republic,” the Israeli prime minister said. “The people of Israel will choose when they'll have elections, who they will elect and it's not something that will be forced upon us.” 

"However, such brash and intrusive declarations by Schumer came as no surprise to many veteran political reporters and analysts in Washington. Schumer has been loudly and aggressively throwing his political weight around for nearly half a century – basking in the media spotlight that went along with it, and clearly loving it. An old joke among news reporters covering Congress is that the most dangerous place to stand on Capitol Hill is between Chuck Schumer and a television camera." . . .
