Democrat infighting is growing.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing backlash over his decision on the continuing resolution.

Axios reported:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is facing more calls to step aside than have previously been reported, with the possibility of more soon to come, Axios has learned.

Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), asked at a town hall on Tuesday whether Schumer should “retire or step down,” nodded her head and said “yes.” Ramirez’s comments have not previously been reported.

The liberal group Indivisible has also called on Schumer to resign as leader. Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) also followed suit at a town hall on Tuesday.

One House Democrat, asked if more could follow, told Axios: “I think there are some already there but just haven’t been asked directly or avoided the question.”

Nancy Pelosi also called out Schumer saying, “I myself don’t give away anything for nothing…I think that’s what happened the other day.”

Politico reported:

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered a sharp critique of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday, suggesting he had forfeited a crucial bargaining chip by allowing a vote on Republicans’ government funding bill.

“I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi told reporters during a news conference at a children’s hospital in San Francisco. “I think that’s what happened the other day.”

“We could have, in my view, perhaps, gotten them to agree to a third way,” Pelosi said. She said a potential outcome could have been a bipartisan continuing resolution to delay a shutdown for up to four weeks while negotiations continued.

She added, “They may not have agreed to it, but at least the public would have seen they’re not agreeing to it — and that then they would have been shutting (the) government down.”

The Democrats are falling apart.
