Chuck Schumer and his daughter found themselves on the receiving end of pro-Hamas extremism on Friday evening.
While the two ate dinner for Shabbat, “protesters” showed up at the apartment building shouting for a “ceasefire” and accusing Schumer of killing children.
This from redstate.com.
The scene was a familiar one, with crazed Hamas supporters spending the months after the October 7th attack in Israel harassing people and shutting down infrastructure.
All in the name of blood-thirsty terrorists who murdered babies, raped women, and beheaded people on camera because they are just so damned “oppressed” or something.
Yesterday we received a tip that Chuck Schumer would be having Shabbat dinner with his daughter at her apartment that night…
…So we picketed outside of her building to let Chuck know: Ceasefire now! Free Palestine! 🇵🇸

This particular incident involving Schumer is complicated. I want to say he is a first-class a**hole and deserves all the crap he is handed. But as a true Conservative I cannot condone spoiled children acting as concerned revolutionaries.
Seriously, what kind of deranged psychos picket the apartment of a Jewish woman, screaming for a ceasefire with genocidal lunatics, just because her father is a senator? There’s nothing right and good about that, and the protesters themselves should be maligned and condemned—at a minimum.
However, Chuck Schumer wanted this—just not for himself or his daughter—preferably for Conservatives or a RINOs.
He has spent years excusing antisemitism in his own party, refusing to call out bigots like Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar. In lieu of that, he’s blamed all the world’s ills on nebulous, nearly non-existent ‘right-wing extremists’ and ‘white supremacy.’
Schumer had a chance before October 7th to stand up for what was right and to speak the truth to the extremists in his midst. Instead, he coddled them and even promoted them, thinking he could hold the coalition together. Well, he can’t. The pro-Hamas contingent was never going to give him a pass just because he’s a man of the far left.
When you feed the alligator, you [do not] deserve much sympathy when it bites your arm off.
Schumer’s chickens have come home to roost, and as wrong as the revolutionaries were, I can almost understand why they are performing their insanity. Schumer made his bed, and if he’d like to get out of it, he’s going to need to say far more than the few meager, qualified denunciations of antisemitism on the left than he has given so far.
