Sen. Charles Schumer was ready to discuss everything from gun control to drones during a press conference in his Midtown office Monday — except his position on the Iran nuclear deal, the NY Post reports.
“This is such an important decision that I will not let pressure, politics or party influence [me],” Schumer said, holding fast to his weeks-long insistence that he’s still in the decision-making stage.
Schumer has come under mounting pressure from opponents of the Iran agreement — including many of his Jewish allies — to vote against it next month in Congress.
The Post reports that one source said the normally thick-skinned senator — who is also feeling the heat from Democrats to back the deal — “exploded” during a meeting last week with about 60 Jewish leaders.
Schumer “lost it,” said the source.

schumer should be thrown out of office and lose his seat not just his cool
Schumer “lost it” a long time ago ! If he will not vote against the Iran deal he should be banned by any and all Jewish Organization. Schumer don’t be a traitor !
Mr. Schumer’s plan is self evident.
He has to “support” Israel – for any future political future.
He has to “support” the president – for any future political future.
The obvious solution – have it both ways: Eventually, do not support the deal, but not until it is already a practically done deal. Do not do any real lobbying against it – just enough to show your Jewish supporters that you really tried.
Then return to your constant silly press conferences about the important issues, like airline baggage charges and that crap.
Mr. Schumer: You are so transparent – it’s sickening.
If he’s squirming that’s possibly a good sign.
There is NO Republican Party in the State of New York. It is an absolute joke. So whatever Schumer or Gellibrand does, will have no consequences when it comes time for election. If you go back the last few election cycles, the Republican Joke Party, put up one LOSER after another to vie for the Senate seats.
And to put up another Democrat to run against the 2, will NEVER happen. The Democrats ALWAYS circle the wagons for one of their own. Chuck knows that. We are doomed here in NY.
Isn’t he obligated to do as his constitutes wish? Is he free and independent to do as he personally wishes?
“There is NO Republican Party in the State of New York. It is an absolute joke.”
The joke is on you. Republicans have a majority of seats in the New York State Senate.
“Isn’t he obligated to do as his constitutes wish?”
No.
“The joke is on you. Republicans have a majority of seats in the New York State Senate”
And here I thought you were intelligent. The NY State Senators can not vote on the Iran deal.
Evil man
