Leader Schumer is calling for RFK Jr. to be fired. "By keeping Robert Kennedy in charge of HHS, Trump is doubling down on his own failure. President Trump must admit his mistake and remove Kennedy now."

Oh jeezus, Schumer. Where have you been for the last ten years?
Good luck with that worthless cry ~ RFK Jr is doing what he was hired to do—destroy healthcare.
Ok, yes. But why phrase it like this? He's addressing a malignant, grandiose narcissist.
Kennedy has been terrible, but I don’t think that the felon cares. Even if he got rid of RFK Jr, he would pick someone equally unqualified. We need to get rid of this clown show of an administration!
Kennedy is not a Trump mistake. He is doing exactly what Trump hired him to do.
See what I mean? 'Crown jewel of this administration.' Nice to hear from you again though @schumer.senate.gov. Hope you had a good vacation. You didn't miss much.
It’s not a mistake people. Trump set out to ‘Dismantle the Administrative State’ and RFK Jr. signed on to help him do just that. It’s a great success from the POV of the right wing!!!! This is the truth people are denying.
THIS. OMG THIS.
What strategically poor wording. This will only make Trump triple down (if that’s a thing).
This is something Chuck Schumer knows will never get traction in Congress (with their RepubliKKKan majorities), but it makes for good political theater.
Because famously Trump always admits his mistakes
It’s their Eugenics plan to cull the sick and disadvantaged, this is by design.
I agree but c’mon. Trump admit his mistake? lol.
he’s more of the caving type-instead of the demanding type
Just words! Start impeachment proceedings against him & Trump!
Fire Kennedy, then fire Trump.
Sorry, the current POTUS never, ever recognizes having made an error. He double downs, appeals, brings new charges, lies, deports, and/or some allege, eliminates. Even in those cases where he takes action exactly opposite of previous pronouncement, he doesn’t acknowledge it. 🙏💕❤️
Who WOKE him up. And why wasn't he the first national Dem to do so? Who was he waiting to get permission from?
Nothing is going to happen to RFK Jr. Hegseth, Noem, Homan, etc., are all still there. There is no accountability or competence in this administration and there never will be. It will be up to the Dems to undo all the damage and it will take decades.
When has Trump ever admitted a mistake, bad decision, sexual assault, felony conviction, corruption, or any other error, bad judgment, failure, or the like? 🙄
Finally this dude says something.
Fire them all... INTO THE SUN!
Well there’s a first time for everything I guess.
Stern letter to follow
RFK Jr., the brain-wormed anti-vaxxer inexplicably running America’s Department of Health and Human Services, is proof that irony is alive and well… It’s like hiring a flat-earther to run NASA — except this time the stakes are your health, your kids, and the future of medicine... —rick wilson
Did he vote to confirm? Did he whip votes to not confirm? I see a major hypocrite in Mr Schumer's actions
Who is calling for RFK Jr. to be fired?? I don't recall anybody by the name Schumer... Never heard of him.
I’m with him for once #RFKJrResignNOW www.alexdems.org/wp-content/u...
Don't just say something, Chuck. DO SOMETHING. Nothing's going to change without a strongly worded letter from you.
As Trump and the MAGA majority on the high court gut the administrative state and eliminate federal services, American casualties will continue to mount. sabrinahaake.substack.com/p/the-maga-s...
Don’t call for it Schumer, just drag the murdering worm brain drug addict mother fucker out of there for he kills everybody.
Finally he might have some cojones albeit small ones
🙄
What fucking world is this troglodyte in? Hello? Nobody gives a shit about your statements. Maybe some kind of action might be better. Or are you too freaking old to get outta your bully pulpit?
One never tells President Trump he 'must admit' any mistakes... Go back to sleep "Leader" Schumer.
Wishful thinking on steroids Chuck.
In a sane world crackpot #KillerKennedy would be long gone by now. BUT….Eight months into #felontrump’s second term it ain’t gonna be simple. 50-50 odds AT BEST.
He won't.
Schumer’s old ass just now figuring this out!! @schumer.senate.gov
One day too late... Yesterday (Aug 28), Senator Patty Murray already called for RFK Jr to be fired.
Stupid statement by Schumer. Give Trump an off ramp that does NOT involve him admtting to a mistake and causing harm. The goal is to get rid of Kennedy and all of his changes that have not been based on proven science. Let Trump design his own 180. He's going to rant BS anyway.
That should do it
Stop calling Schumer a leader
Trump would rather see America devastated by bubonic plague than admit error.
Fortunately the bubonic plague is treatable with antibiotics for now. A strong resistant strain can emerge. As with any other resistant bacterial infection.
Hasn’t there been a couple of cases of that popping up recently?
You might as well call him Lindsay Schumer...he is just as ineffective
Schumer’s statements are not worth posting.
Schumer is still around?
We need sub sandwich slamming energy not this mild mannered nothing burger.
Lock him up ! He wants to kill or disable us. He’s an ignorant charlatan.
"Leader"
(Trump casino): Doubling down?? We'll take that bet!!
Maybe he’ll write another sternly worded letter with some questions…
Trump must admit his mistake 🤣🤣🤣 Hey Chuck... write him another stern letter... I'm sure it will work "this" time.
Co-author with Susan Collins. That'll do it.
No doubt in a very strong letter
What's the process for removal of a cabinet member?
Hahahahaha!!! (Really NOT FUNNY) If you want to understand who @schumer.senate.gov is, in a nutshell: "President Trump must admit his mistake" is all you need to know. The man is worse than worthless. And Democrats MUST (apropos 'must') replace him. Cc @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Schumer needs to resign and let new ideas and people in.
You lost me when you applied "Leader" to Schumer's name.
could schumer.senate.gov just retire? point out that he needs to be fired, but don't demand trump admit a mistake. that's exactly what you would say if you wanted to make sure trump DOESN'T fire RFKJ
Great. So what's next? What can we as citizens do to make this happen?
Who woke Schumer up? Isn't he on nap time with Pelosi and Jefferies? Collecting money from their republican masters behind the scenes
If RFK is fired we’ll just get somebody worse. We need to fire @schumer.senate.gov so we can actually have a chance of winning again. Remember when he helped them pass that budget while DOGE was decimating our government?
If you accept that Trump is working for Russia, it all makes sense
Oh was Schumer‘s mouth open? I’ll go back and hide for two or three more weeks now.
And we have 4 more years of Schumer?
He still doesn’t get it. The person he’s talking to is a mistake 🥴 Does he really think he’s gonna admit one? Jeeezuz.
A mistake? A mistake is using sugar instead of salt.
Maybe he keeps Kennedy because he takes the focus off of his other failures!
He woke up from his summer nap?
Is that all you got Mr. Schumer? Are you going to send a very strongly worded letter?
With this continuing appointment of a "crank," Trump is actively trying to kill his voters, their children and families, by withholding medical science and information.
The first voters Trump is gonna end up killing are HIS OWN!
“Admit his mistake“ just shows you that these people don’t know what a malignant narcissist is, or what they’re dealing with. Admitting his mistake is not something he’s capable of doing because he doesn’t think of it as a mistake. In Trump‘s mind he doesn’t make mistakes.
Oh he knows. Schumer doesn't give a shit about RFKj and just wants this scandal to end quickly so he can focus on his "budget standdown" that he thinks makes him look tough. He used this phrasing precisely to make it harder for T to back down.
Oh, so he’s finally woken up from his summer slumber then…
Oh my.... let me yawn real hard. Schumer 🙄
So Schumer still thinks he's dealing with reasonable people?? Useless old fart!!
I'm sure they'll get right on that. Can we just skip to plan C if they even have one, rather than this incessant repeat of politely request/impolitely deny.
I’m sure that will have an earth shattering impact. He’s a fucking idiot.
What the hell is wrong with Schumer? Why would he even post something like this? He knows Trump would never admit his mistakes and he knows he would never fire RFK Jr. Useless.
Well, bringing in the “mistake” word just doomed that request. Why can’t these people be smarter?
Leader Schumer is an oxymoron but I agree 💯
Where’s Schumer been the last six months? We need a real leader to fight this fascist.
Schumer needs to retire. Now. He’s a fundraiser. Not a fighter.
He should start impeachment process for Jr. Get it all documented. Do something. This statement is like a gnat in the room-
Asking Trump to admit a mistake is like asking a piece of chalk to run for Senate in Maine against Susan Collins.
“Leader” Schumer could perhaps use his political skills and clout (he does have some, right?) to try and accomplish this?
Good to hear from what’s-his-name!
Chuck hitches up his pants, takes a break from his Israeli advocacy funded job as chief Democratic bottle washer for Palestinian eradication, and puts his finger in the dam after all the water has drained.
Finally!
Where the hell have you been since January Senator. This should have been screamed about every single day. Time for you to take your toys and go home, we need action, not strongly worded letters, how embarrassing.
“Leader” Schumer.
Problem is Trumpy likes dead democrats.. He's trying to get Kamala Harris killed just for his personal entertainment by removing her secret service protection for NO reason other than to be evil.
To Trump, RFK was not a mistake. He’s fcking thrilled RFK will be culling the population.
Trump doesn't see it as a mistake. Trump is a cruel person. I'm worried that if RFK jr goes (and he absolutely needs to be removed, he is less-than-zero qualified & dangerous) that Trump might install his doctor who is saying delusional things about Trump's health right now. He's as bad as RFK jr.
“Leader” Leader of what? Leader of passive aggressive letters that result in no action? Leader of what got us here in the first place? Leader of meaningless and belated drivel? Chuck needs to quit so someone with a spine can take over
One of those “when we’re eventually back in power, we’ll forget about the whole thing and get back to working with our friends and colleagues. Oh, those ICE protesters arrested, charged, and imprisoned on spurious evidence, well we are not like the Republicans and won’t offer any pardons” democrats.
God he’s so old. A slight breeze could knock this grandpa over. He just looks weak. It makes me sick
Strongly worded letter... that'll do it... time for him to retire already!
Schumer is a famously incompetent leader who still can’t figure out how to talk to Trump. Telling Trump he made a mistake is literally rule #1 on how NOT to broach a topic with Trump. God, Schumer is an embarrassment.
If only Schumer had demonstrated courage when it was needed & asked Biden to fire Garland we wouldn't be worrying about a brainworm former heroin addict at HHS. No one is listening to Schumer who has as much power now as a limp noodle.
Did he write it in a strongly worded letter?
At least he was concerned 🙄
Susan Collins level of concerned, even!
More likely, a strongly worded Post-It note that Schumer stuck to his own fridge to remind himself of how peeved he is.
You know if we ever want to prosecute these people, the letters are required to build a case, right?
They are required ? What? Since when are letters required before cases can be charged?
The Do Something crowd loves to mock any efforts to do something.
Problem is it isn’t enough for the current moment.
What do you suggest then?
Getting rid of Schumer would be a great start.
I have a dumpster ready for him
Unmitigated violence and revolution against a tyrannical state
Prosecute... Hilarious notion.
Sure, but then they’ll find another reason to scream DO SOMETHING!!
The Hague didn't need sternly worded letters to prosecute Nazis.
Good luck w that.
I mean without sternly worded letters how would we ever prosecute anyone??
It’s called building a case.
How did all those sternly worded letters help prosecuting Trump the first time?
trump was indicted twice by the DOJ, in DC for starting an insurrection, and in S Florida for documents case. SCOTUS gave him immunity, Cannon blew up documents case. So yes, they DID try to prosecute him.
Why even bother asking him? He's never going to do it.
“Leader” 😖
Trump thinks he doesn't make mistakes. Even if he did, he wouldn't admit it.
👍👍👍
Worse than that - he's undermining the one good thing he did during his first term: fast-tracking the Covid vaccine.
Schumer needs to be fired. Useless P.O.S.
While Schumer hasn’t been zealous in his efforts as we would like, attacking and condemning our own party, Dems, is exactly what the corrupt on the right want. Feeding into their hands isn’t a good strategy.
We have time to build a stronger party. We are in this mess because the Democrats blew it. The leadership is more interested in tradition than fighting back. Stern letters with hard points are not the way. Putting dying members in critical roles because it is their turn. We need fresh ideas.
I agree but until we can get there, we shouldn’t show any signs of a party breaking apart. I’m older but have said for years we need young minds with new ideas and energy governing.
I guess Chuck hasn't noticed dump's new hat, that "he's right about everything". 🙄
I believe you mixed the letters up. Should be fried.
Trump’s never going to admit he failed in appointing Kennedy. Schumer would be better off telling Trump how much the Democrats love Kennedy. Trump would fire him out of spite.
