VIDEO: The #SchumerShutdown Backfires

After 69 hours, the Democratic Party’s government shutdown finally ended last night. Yet, while the government shutdown is over, the problems for Democrats are only just beginning. That’s because the media has almost universally castigated Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Democrats for their needless, reckless actions which precipitated the three-day debacle:

After a year on the job, Senator Schumer is facing a brutal referendum on his competence and leadership in both television and print media.

Sadly, for Senate Minority Leader, the print and online coverage was just as bad. As the Associated Press documented, Senator Schumer has become the “face of the Democratic retreat” and has “became a punching bag for the right and left.” NBC added that Senator Schumer’s cave “divided a Democratic Party.”
