Raw Story has a report up tonight about Capitulation Chuck’s feeble attempts to explain his abrupt cave-in regarding the Republican CR vote last Friday to progressive groups understandably outraged by his betrayal:
On Monday night, Politico reported, citing five anonymous sources, that Schumer was in "damage-control mode," with he and his aides talking behind closed doors with left-leaning groups to try to "ease tensions after sparking a civil war."
"It isn’t going great," the report said.
Schumer met with leaders at the group Indivisible, which called for him to step down from his role as top Senate Democrat.
"Schumer’s team tried to persuade the New York leaders at Indivisible not to immediately sign onto a statewide letter that called for Schumer to quit his position as minority leader," the report said. Schumer spoke to the group on Sunday, and they called for him to step down the following day anyway.
"The goal was to get Sen. Schumer in front of Indivisible group leaders before they made any decisions on anything,” a person familiar with the meeting told Politico.
Another called the talks “tense and unproductive.”
