Trump knew RFK Jr. would be a disastrous pick to lead health care in America, and he nominated him anyway. Trump made this mistake, and now he must fire RFK Jr. immediately.

Please stop 🤦🏽🫣🙄
WHAT FUCKING PLANET DO YOU LIVE ON
He did it on purpose so that RFK would do this. How on earth hasn’t one of the more competent senators replaced you
Didn't you fast track his nomination so you could take a 3-day weekend to hock your book? Or was that any number of other dangerous nominees?
You are the wrong person to be in ANY leadership position. Go resign and let someone who is not trying to negotiate with terrorist.
you helped confirm him you hypocritical, unhelpful collaborator. You are normalizing fascist shit, never once using powers that we the people gave you TO FUCKING PROTECT US. You have failed in every way & we will never trust you. You are more concerned with keeping trains running on time.
Damn if only there were people in elected powerful positions whose job it was to address issues like this. If only.
It was NO mistake! "I'm gonna let him go wild!"
Wasn’t a mistake. Was done on purpose.
Just trying to imagine what you might do to make yourself even more useless -- and I'm kinda at a loss.
I’ve been your constituent since I was in high school and I am now in my 40s. Please name your successor.
It wasn’t a mistake, because Trump wants to destroy/eliminate health care. That’s why Trump sabotaged efforts to combat COVID, even after health care saved his life when he came down with it. The first thing he did after he was released from treatment was to try and infect others.
you're a mistake
Is this your stern letter? Anything else or are you posting at the end of your month-long vacation?
Of course, in his "mind", little Donnie does not make mistakes. He nominates people - certainly not for their capability - but so they will owe him big time.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Trump made a mistake 🤣🤣🤣
Tell your buddy @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to start impeachment proceedings. If RFK Jr. doesn't deserve to be impeached, no one does. And it doesn't matter that it won't succeed. Make Republicans defend him.
You voted to confirm him, dumbass.
Boy, just imagine if you were someone who had the ability to actually fight against some of this bollocks but chose not to. Imagine that for a minute, Chuck, you personally were someone who could've absolutely done more to fight this (and still can). That'd be wild, right?
You shouldn’t defend him w/ this ridiculous assumptions- we had our fill of that golly gee BS the 1st time around-TRUMP should have been disqualified for a multitude of reasons esp b/c of his criminal background- we know he picks only his kind-other criminals. This time is consolidation -no mistakes
Cool. Explain why he made it through the senate???
RFK Jr is as much as a disastrous pick as Chuck Schumer is a disaster to lead the Democratic party. I won't donate another dime to the party until Chuck Schumer is gone!
Trump didn't make a mistake. This was intentional. And he won't fire him due to a social media post. We need you to show real leadership, Chuck. What would The Baileys do?
When will you figure out it wasn't a mistake? They want Americans to be too weak and sick to fight back.
it's not a mistake it's on purpose you useless piece of shit also why would he do that? literally what could possibly possess him to do that? you have no power to force him to act and that's the only thing he understands
So do something about it! You guys were awol over the summer recess while trump was destroying our country. Get with it (aka Gavin newsome) or step down.
schumer should also resign immediately
Wow! That's firm!! Maybe you can join with Senator Collins and threaten to become very concerned. Or should you go further and write another "very strong letter"? For a long time, I thought you guys really didn't stand for anything. Turns out you will stand for anything.
And he got confirmed you useless feckless nitwit
I am amused by all your comments. I am ashamed by your lack of strength. You and your colleagues have been talking t talk but don’t get anything done. You had the power and let the Republicans stopped you from doing anything. Now, they same power and have accomplished so much for their party 😭😭😭
useless asshole says what?
Not a mistake. Enemy action. How much are you getting from Putin to be this ineffectual?
Yeah right.
Chuck Schumer posted against RFK Jr so we can expect that a lot of RFK Jr supporting anti-Democrat activists will be attacking him.
Do something useful for a change
it wasn’t a mistake, it was part of his plan to fill his cabinet with fools to make him look smarter than fools (and own the libs)
Retire, bitch
You're as useless as the Baileys
If ONLY it was someone’s job to rally opposition to this mad king’s whims!
Oh I’m sure he’ll listen to you right away
What about all your pals in the Senate who confirmed him?
It totally wasn't a mistake. Trump WANTS large numbers of poor people to die. He thinks it will be good for the billionaire bottom line. He got a million during his first administration.
Chuck, pick your balls up off the mantle and fucking stand up to them. Goddamned coward hiding behind his salary
Dems plan so far
It wasn't a mistake and he did it on purpose.
I’m sorry that you’re still my senator. A man with backbone is needed right now not a man who writes pronouncements.
Cuck Schumer
Damn maybe don’t give unanimous fucking consent, dumbass
Your fault, too. Have some insight and reflection, man
I see you are still treating this as business as usual. He hired him intentionally & he’s doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing. Destroying it all. (It’s all in project 2025, remember?) At what point do we all start believing that you are just as involved with the scam?
Chuck Chamberlain. Step aside for the good of the country and our fading democracy, you arrogant bastard!
Why didn't you revoke unanimous consent? You did nothing to protect us. Less than nothing. Retire.
You're an idiot, Schumer. You and your entire party. Your incompetence has doomed your country, and maybe the world.
The second sentence contradicts the first sentence. It can't be both a mistake and a conscious decision. But I'm charitably assuming that this was written by a undergraduate intern.
Send me $15 to stop this attack on our democracy
Well that was strongly worded, Chuck.
You don't get to blame the nominator when you're responsible for allowing the process to complete. You are all complicit in this, and we see you for what you are!
You gave unanimous consent. All you motherfuckers did after 31 years. I left the Democratic Party and everyone else should too.
Every one of his picks is doing just what he intended. He wants to infuriate the democrats, the dumber they are the better.
All and I mean all of Trumps nominations are incompetent and the worst choice he could make! Senate shouldn’t have confirmed any of them!
Resign
Cuck Schumer
Whether he knew it or not is irrelevant. He doesn’t give a s**t about us. It was a simple transaction- he gave rfk jr $100,000 to drop out of the presidential primary and promised him a cabinet position to boot. RFK took the deal.
When you're right, you're right.
And Republican senators knew it, too. They don't get to be absolved of their part in this debacle.
Why don't you send a sternly worded letter.
You win the internet today!
That was no mistake. That was the plan.
Resign, scum
Chuuuuuck is the Trump you’re referring to in the room with us right now? Bcz the other other Trump we know still has not admitted to losing the 2020 election!
“mistake”??? you and whatever prep school dork is running this account are so damn pathetic. resign.
You're so far beyond being a fucking moron if you think anything RFK Jr. is doing is a "mistake" that the Trump administration wasn't knowingly trying to have implemented. Resign, you worthless sack of ancient bones.
Retire‼️ We need young, energetic people leading now‼️(Btw I’m 65 y.o.)
He’s not a mistake in Trump‘s view. RFK is in here to make America weak and sick again so Trump and his group can take over. Who’s gonna fight him if they’re all fighting for their lives?
“This person I’m holding the door for is super bad guys. I might break bread at his table but trust me, total stinker”
Or what? You'll hold your breath until you turn blue? C'mon man, talk is cheap. Do something!
The time to write your “strongly worded letter” about this was in January, Senator. Your words have become impotent. It’s far past time to step aside, Senator. You were great, once.
If you still think this nomination was a mistake on Trump's part, buddy you have not been paying attention.
A mistake? You are a fucking idiot. Resign!
Hey Chuck....how about doing something? Im sure your constituents (read: NOT your donors) would love for you to do something other than post your tut tuts about Trump.
How is your entire strategy "Hope Donald Trump does the right thing"? How can you possibly be that incompetent?
And you did nothing to stop him, you useless spineless smug empty shirt.
Follow him out the door Chuck
And maybe if you actually had a spine, or better yet, if you would just resign already, then none of this would be happening to your hellscape that you call a country.
and who's going to stop him? you Chucky? go dig up Harry Reede and get another was of sweaty money senator
This is good. Thank you for this. Concrete, succinct, doable, and will save lives
You should resign. I thought you were supposed to be a leader. If you won’t do the job then clear the way for someone who will. Not on dem should have voted for any of these nominations. What did you get in return?
Why don't you step aside and let a fighter take over.
Trump knew what would happen and is getting it. I think that means he didn’t make a mistake and asking him fix this is dumb? Wait, I have an idea! You should ask if anyone on here knows anyone in the House who could introduce articles of impeachment.
You failed Chuck…pure and simple 😞
No he didn’t. He was simply uninterested. He wanted RFK’s supporters to help him to the White House, so he promised RFK what he wanted. The rest was immaterial to him.
It wasn't a mistake, you idiot
Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.
Seriously, Chuck. You know it's a nazi regime, and anyone Trump picks will be worse than the last. Your statements are weak. Why don't you do something to remove the nazi regime from the White House?
That would be much easier if the people hadn't voted to abandon rule of law and embrace fascism to keep a hardcore criminal above the law.
With all disrespect intended, Senator; you are terrible at your job and your complicity in all this will be remembered
rfk jr is like the amy schumer of politics
Not all republicans are like your pals the Baileys; imaginary and subject to your flights of fancy.
Yet the Baileys still voted for him.
Good, now do Every Other Trump Appointee
Speaking of immediately, how about stepping down?
How do you still not understand him? You need to go. Why not move in with your imaginary friends the Baileys who voted for Trump yet are your guide posts.
How many of Trump's nominee's have you voted to comfirm, Chuck?
You could have stopped this.
Shut the fuck up you old mummy.
how are you this fukkin stupid chuck
Chucky. Come on man. He nominated him because he would collapse the place. He is doing what Trump wants.
And how did you respond for the confirmations? And be sure to use the words, “I resign” in your answer.
Yea that’ll do it I’m sure
How bout you call for impeachment instead of just politely asking him to be fired How bout you explain that nominating RFK in the first place is itself an example of criminal incompetence by the president that should be met with impeachment
How can you not see that this is not a mistake on his part? This was done intentionally to destroy the CDC
We were warned. Everyone was warned. Republicans didn’t care. And millions of registered Dems appeared not to care either.
“How can you not see that this is not a mistake on his part?” It’s amazing the *not-seeing* (wink) on each side - - very different kinds, of course, both damaging nonetheless.
It’s actually so fucking insulting for him to call this a “mistake” He’s not paying attention at all
Just a wittle oopsie by Donny, I’m sure he’ll make it right
These folks have been extremely clear from the onset that they want to destroy American democracy and any basis of truth outside of their narrow view of the world. There are no fucking mistakes about them destroying everything that ACTUALLY makes us great. Get the fuck out of the way Schumer
Schumer is complicit. Occupying the place an opposition should be. Goes for the whole party leadership as well..
Trump's Covid policy was that he wouldn't get re-elected if the county took Covid seriously and he failed at it, so he denied it was a real problem, and said that if only 100k-200k Americans died from it by election day he'd call it a success. (It was not a success - about 400k died by then.)
Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.
Trump "must" do that? Why do people like you and Jeffries keep telling the 'Pubs what to do, but not back up your words with anything?
You absolute rube. How can you, at this late date, still fail to realize that RFK is doing the job he was hired to do? Destroying any function of government that actually helps people is the goal. Stop pretending you can achieve comity with the barbarians at the gates
Stop it. He knew & chose him knowing it would sow chaos & discord. NO WAY WOULD HE FIRE HIM. Mr Schumer you need to get real & see the fire like it’s burning YOUR house down with YOUR family locked inside.
On your watch this happened So who should we consider to succeed you. 30 plus years in politics is to much, Term out.
please force the issue and remove RFK when the senate reconvenes. this and anti-federal-occupation/anti-immigration-brutality work should be your main priority going forward
Step down now. Let someone who understands this moment and can inspire us lead.
Even the Baileys think you should resign, and for once I agree with them.
Wow, you really are this stupid.
HOW HIGH ARE YOU?
oh please, just stop it. You didn’t do anything to stop it, and you still don’t do anything about any of Trump’s BS. We need Che Guevara, not Benedict Arnold.
This weak and foolish post from impotent Democrat "leader" just more evidence that Schumer needs to go. Trump doesn't see RFK's approach to reducing American health care costs at the poor's expense as a mistake at all. It's a feature, not a bug.
Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.
Or you know, whoever is in charge right now should fire him. Because I'm not sure Trump is ... um ...
Who are you talking to?
Jesus fucking Christ dude. You don’t think that was maybe the plan all along?
You knew RFK Jr. was bad. You could and should have done more to stop the terror, harm, and corruption. Instead you have enabled it. The calculated non-measures are your legacy, Senator. For the good of the nation, you should resign.
Or what? You’ll send a strongly worded letter? FFS.
Resign, bitch.
Every nomination by this admin has been a mockery and attack on the institutions very mission He appoints loyalists and saboteurs Are you waking up yet?
Don’t expect any response from this administration….
Shuck Coomer
Dumbass it was on purpose. Also resign.
do you do anything but post on social media? because you say pretty words here but roll over anytime the GOP asks.
My god, man.
Schumer resign!
You useless waste of space
Lol suck a fuck, chuck
Almost like you should stop being "bipartisan " and start obstructing like an opposition party. Or are you going to negotiate again by making the first move? Which has brought us to this disaster.
Your first paragraph notes Trump intentionally unleashed Kennedy on us. Your second paragraph suggests Trump mistakenly inflicted Kennedy on us. Who is the audience for this contradictory bullshit? Did some consultant just tell you to use the word "mistake?"
Yes, and your party helped nominate and confirm him.
You are the worst. Lead and do something. Strongly worded letters don’t work against Authoritarians. Do more
If only a constituency had elected to a position of power to maybe do more than post about it.
Posts on social networks, empty demands and “strongly” worded letters obviously don’t work. Lead your Senate colleagues and DO SOMETHING!!!
Fuck you
You don't get it! It's time to retire.
Step down, Chuck. Let someone who understands what’s going on take charge.
STFU, Chuck.
Dear Sen Schumer: You & the other Senate Dems have decided it is not a good idea to object to unanimous consent I'm sure you have your reasons, but as far as I know, you haven't deigned to explain them, which seems rude and which also has caused many to engage in rumor mongering on this topic
not a mistake, Chuck all of this is on purpose
You moron. Trump knew exactly what he was doing. How does everyone on the planet know this but you?
None of Trump's picks for department heads were neither qualified or capable. The blame lies on the Senate for confirming them! That's where you point the finger. The GOP senators AND Dem senators that voted them in!
💯
47 is less than 53. Only 50 votes are needed to confirm. Republicans don’t need a single Dem to help them. The nominees were getting confirmed no matter what.
True. Trump was intentional for nominating the heads. It's the Senate that holds the blame for confirming the unqualified hacks. Doesn't matter who holds majority. Trump lit the match. The Senate threw it. Nothing wrong with assigning the blame where it belongs.
Sorry, but it does indeed matter who holds the majority. Only 50 votes are needed to confirm nominees and Republicans have 53. Assign blame where it belongs: with Republicans.
I'm afraid you are misinterpreting my comments. Perhaps read them again. RFK was confirmed by party line. In this point with RFK, you don't blame Trump. You blame the GOP that confirmed him. But there were several other nominees, none qualified, that were confirmed with some Dem votes as well.
Those others would’ve been confirmed even without those Dem votes. The only way a Trump nominees’ confirmation is stopped is by Republicans voting no. Doesn’t matter what Dems do.
Then why should any Dem senator ever vote for any Trump appointee?
And the GOP used Unanimous Consent to obstruct Obama and Biden appointees. Schumer chose not to use the same tactic and allowed Trump free rein to QUICKLY put anyone in any position, no matter how unqualified. When they go low, he gives in. (Scroll down to: How can one senator do this alone?)
Again, 47 is less than 53. Those nominees were getting put in no matter what.
WHEN were they getting in? Worst case, they could have slowed the process, which means that the damage that has already been done would have been slowed. Being willing to grind the process to a halt would have given them leverage to say, "Pick someone better, and we'll let them through."
So then why did so many Dems help them anyway?
Their votes didn’t help. The nominees would have been confirmed no matter how Dems voted. Republicans don’t need us, they don’t have to reach across the aisle because they’re a vote or two short. They can take turns voting “no” and looking good— Murkowski and Collins do this all the time.
Whoa! Lemme paraphrase; 'Trump doesn't need my support for him so my support for him doesn't count'
Sometimes Dems in red states have to throw a bone to their constituents. Look, I would love explanation for any “yes” votes from Dems. Justify that shit, tell me why. Explain the game and the goal here. I can handle it. But. Yes, and. However. I don’t blame Dems for what are obvious GOP failings.
Ok. Well that's something you have to come to grips with. I'm from Missouri and despise the GOP to the core. But I'm not a fool to believe that the Democrats have a halo over their head. That's why government is failing us. Elected worry about elections and party instead of morals and their country.
I don’t think Dems have a halo over their heads either. That’s a strawman. I simply understand the limits of minority power, I acknowledge it’s we the voters who put Dems in the minority, and I don’t blame Dems for obvious Republican failings. Government is failing us because of Republicans.
Sure, it’s easier and more satisfying to criticize Dems because you (rhetoric “you”) know they ARE worried about the country. You know this is agony for them. You know they care. Just like you know the GOP doesn’t give a shit so it’s no use yelling at them. (Again, rhetoric “you.”)
Dems haven’t cornered the market on morals but come ON. I’m 100% confident that we would not be such a complete human rights disaster if Harris were president.
All of the Dem Senators voted for one or more of Trump’s cabinet picks. ballotpedia.org/How_senators...
bsky.app/profile/pamk...
you’re an enabling shitstain and history will remember you as one
Hey Chuck. HE HIRED HIM ON PURPOSE! It was NOT a "MISTAKE". Will you PLEASE WAKE THE HELL UP! I am begging you!
Quit your job if you aren't going to do it, and get the fuck out of the way.
Wake up man. trump nominated rfk BECAUSE he would destroy the American health system. Every nominee was specifically chosen for this goal, it was so damn obvious even at the time but you all kept playing nice anyway
Can you swing by Sen. Bill Cassidy's office? Get him to publicly call for firing RFK Jr would go a long way in all this horrific B.S.
You sick fuck
Mistake? What is actually wrong with you? Did you borrow RFK Jr.'s brainworm?
Impeach Trump you fucking jackass
Resign along with him please
He hired the guy who knew how to flatter him and say what he needed to hear in order to get the gig. Kennedy grovelled to PEDO PINO so he'd get the gig. That's it - SNAFU as with every other appointment. MAGA GOP is a cult.
Kennedy is in the Epstein files.
It's not a mistake they're doing this on purpose you dim motherfucker
Of course Chuck shouldn’t let this distract from his very busy schedule of talking to his imaginary friends and believing genocide is good.
You let it happen. How about you resign too
Grow a pair and do something.
It was not a mistake. It was sabotage. Your comms people are utterly deficient.
It's not comms. He could have the finest comms people in the world and THIS would be the message, bc this is who Schumer is.
Believe what you need to believe. I believe these people are stupid, and therefore sloppy.
What I believe is you're letting Schumer off the hook by blaming his 'comms'. It's him, he is the fool.
You're wrong. I hold Schumer responsible, but for different reasons than you do.
Good for calling for RFK Jr to be fired but this was no mistake by Trump. He is hell bent on destroying this country and he put all of these unqualified idiots in place to do just that. How do you not understand this yet??
I'm sure he'll be intimidated by your strongly worded post and do what you demand immediately.
OMG just shut the eff up. You are such a weakling. Knuckle up ffs.
You need to resign. Dems need leadership to hold people accountable and fix our system so fascism can't sprout again.
You should write to your congressman or something
I thought you were dead. 🍽️💩 🖕😄🖕
Rich Democrats get the same tax cuts as rich Republicans. You didn't oppose Trump, because he's making you money. You actually support Trump through inaction, the same way Trump supports Putin. You might as well support Putin yourself.
once again @schumer.senate.gov you have misread the room. It wasn't a mistake, there are no distractions. Everything he does is intended to hurt, destroy, take power. It wasn't an "oopsie". In fact he said he would let that freak "go wild" on women's health. You need to step aside...
You have given political cover to a genocide, Israel is starving kids and you support it, resign!
Yeah man, I'm sure that'll happen any day now.
stop pretending things are normal
Too bad Trump can't immediately fire you; the USA would be better of. The only immediate mistake is that you got elected to the Senate.
he’s dead dude you gotta ask JD
You are absolutely ineffectual at meaningful opposition, you do that purposefully. You deserve to lose your seat, leadership, livelihood and legacy for your effective consent for the Trump regime.
You've lost the plot and care more about the welfare of your donors. Please we are begging you, resign.
You are pathetic
Trump didn’t make a mistake. He doesn’t care.
You could have denied unanimous consent. But you didn't. You should resign. You are responsible for this.
Shut the fuck up you worthless cow. You’ve done everything in your power to help this administration. Step the fuck down so that someone with a spine can actually fight back.
@schumer.senate.gov Better sharpen up those pencils for your strongly worded letter, Chuck. You failed us miserably. Time to step down and pass the torch.
It’s intentional. He hates the Kennedy family and loves the fact that a Kennedy is destroying the United States of America’s Healthcare.
If you think this post will have any impact whatsoever, you definitely do need to step down because you are clearly playing by old rules which no longer apply. We are looking for elected leaders who will FIGHT not issue sternly worded posts and letters.
Are you concerned?
what the fuck is wrong with you, what reality do you live in?
Kennedy was nominated specifically to induce the results we now see. Not a mistake. Cruelty, planned out in advance.
No, Trump likes the Kennedy name and had to repay him for dropping out of the race. He never cared about Americans or their health care. If he has any regret, it would be about political damage or RFK getting more attention than him.
