Kennedy accuses Schumer of ‘political shutdown’ to appease far-left

Senator John Kennedy, R-La., Accused the head of the senatorial minority Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., of having organized what he called a “political judgment” to appease the far left wing of the Democratic Party-an assertion that Schumer denied.

“His relationship with the truth is very informal,” Kennedy told “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday.

“He is nervous, like a pregnant nun, at the idea of ​​losing her re-election in favor of the socialist wing of his party, led by the deputy Ocasio-Cortez, who controls the country.“.

The Republicans of the House of Representatives presented several proposals aimed at getting out of the dead end, but the Democrats refused to support any measure which does not include an extension of the improved subsidies of Obamacare, which should expire at the end of 2025.

Kennedy argued that Schumer addressed the party’s far left faction, but interviewed by a journalist at Capitol Hill, Schumer denied this assertion.

“No, the essential is very simple. We are fighting for the American people, and it is not only a small group of Americans who wish it. It is generalized,” said Schumer on Tuesday.

However, Kennedy predicted that Schumer would eventually back down.

“Senator Schumer is an intelligent man. He has been there for a long time. His first car was a tank,” said Kennedy.

“Washington is all he has known all his life. He knows that he is on a fragile field here in terms of politics.”

Kennedy added that he thought Schumer would persuade enough democrats to line up on the side of the Republicans to end the confinement.

“He will say: ‘I cannot vote with you. I must seem hard. I may even have to criticize you, but wink, a wink, nod, nod my head. I try to make the Huard wing of the party loves me,” said Kennedy.
