'Republicans Have My Support': NY Dem Slams Schumer, Says Party 'Betraying' American Values
Jul 5, 2018 15:41:05 #
A longtime Democratic New York State lawmaker ripped Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), declaring that he will support the GOP until Schumer can "restore sanity and honesty" to the party.
State Assemblyman Dov Hikind of Brooklyn slammed Schumer's attacks on President Trump, which were sent as part of a fundraising call.
"DEMOCRAT HIKIND RESPONDS TO SCHUMER’S PLEA FOR DONATIONS WITH ‘HELL NO!’
COUNTERS SLAM ON ‘HARD RIGHT AGENDA’ WITH UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS ABOUT ‘HARD LEFT’
Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D, Brooklyn) said he recently received a mailer from fellow Democrat, Senator Charles Schumer asking for contributions. The letter was riddled with attacks on the “hard right” but omitted vital information. In an open letter to Schumer, Hikind filled in the blanks.
“Senator Schumer, in your letter you promise to fight for Democratic values and go on at great length to fully villainize the current administration, but you left out certain facts that my fellow Democrats, to say nothing of all Americans, should also be aware of.
“You forgot to tell us about the economy. As good as it’s been, economists expect even more growth through the end of the year. That’s very good news, Senator.
“You forgot to tell us about unemployment, which is lower than it has been in decades, while economic confidence is at a 17-year high. It’s also at a record low for minorities. That’s very good news, Senator.
“You forgot to tell us how the U.S. is beginning to emerge in energy dominance. The Department of Interior, which has led the way in cutting regulations, opened plans to lease 77 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas drilling, decreasing our reliance on foreign oil. That’s very good news, Senator.
“You forgot to tell us about the most remarkable relationship between the United States and our ally Israel ever. Or about moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, which you yourself applauded.
“You forgot to tell us about the successful dismantling of the Iran Deal—a deal which you yourself opposed and knew threatened the rest of the world by making it easier for Iran, the leading supporter of world terrorism, to develop nuclear weapons.
“You forgot to tell us that the Trump administration is against the harmful reverse-discrimination criteria in universities that would so badly hurt the children from hard-working Asian families. So much for the big tent, Senator.
“You forgot to tell us about a potential peace with a denuclearized North Korea.
“You forgot to tell us about tax cuts. I’m part of the middle class and now I’m getting a little extra in my paycheck. I’m happy about that and so are tens of millions of Americans, Senator.
“You ask for a contribution, but the Democratic Party—which I am a lifelong member of—is currently betraying the ideals that our party once stood for: American values. You yourself proposed that Representative Ellison head the party, but you must surely know that Ellison has stood with our nation’s leading hate monger Louis Farrakhan.
“Senator Schumer, as a fellow Democrat, I ask you to work to restore sanity and honesty to our party so I can feel good about supporting it fully. Until then, I’m afraid the Republicans have my support.”
Hikind, who is not running for re-election, wrote on Facebook that Schumer, who is also from Brooklyn, "omitted vital information" about the economy, potential peace with North Korea and low unemployment.
"Senator Schumer, in your letter you promise to fight for Democratic values and go on at great length to fully villainize the current administration," Hikind wrote.
"You forgot to tell us about the economy. As good as it’s been, economists expect even more growth through the end of the year."
Hikind said the Democratic Party is "betraying the ideals that our party once stood for -- American values."
"As a fellow Democrat, I ask you to work to restore sanity and honesty to our party," Hikind wrote in response. "Until then, I'm afraid the Republicans have my support."
In a Facebook post last week, Hikind wrote "G-d help us!" in response to a young socialist defeating longtime U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley in a House primary.
DNC chairman Tom Perez said this week he believes candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are "the future" of Democratic Party.
Responding on "America's Newsroom," Ari Fleischer said remarks like that from Perez and other Democrats should be celebrated by Republicans heading into the midterms.
The former White House press secretary said the "real energy" in the Democratic Party is with far-left candidates like Ocasio-Cortez.
