Schumer and Jeffries Refuse to Back Growing Democratic Calls to Defund ICE

[bigtree]

97. this time it's conveniently while Dems are meeting this week to make these decisions

...with clickbait journos trying to make it appear they're actually the ones steeering the party.

The largest load of hubris is this attitude that supposes the critics care more about succeeding against the republican opposition than the pols who have already put themselves on the actual line and fought and WON against republicans.

Apparently there's some perfect dude-bros waiting in the wings that can achieve the votes of the majority of the membership to unseat these two who are willing to put their personal interests ahead of the caucus.

I'm sure Democrats who would be tasked with choosing between the ones they already picked to represent their positions, and an unknown dudebro pushing their own way or the highway and a 'tude would be thrilled at the prospect.

Cute how no one is bothering to ask any of the members about their views on changing the leadership they just chose to represent them. I suspect it's because it's not a serious question, but who knows if one of them wants to step out in front of their fellow Dems and make noise about 'defunding' a law enforcement agency.

I mean, that's the way this is being framed, right? Jeffries and Schumer 'refuse' to support defundng the funds they already voted against several times, leading their membership to do the same?

I'm guess there's no need to being factual about what the party will collectively support, when they can instead lie about the leadership and project all sorts of nonsense claims off of them.
