Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is a political hack who is causing his party to self destruct immensely.
This week he pulled another stunt and failed miserably looking like the clown he is. (VIDEO BELOW)
He was criticized by many congressional colleagues this week for citing “skin color” in voting against a white federal judge nominee earlier this week.
“The nomination of Marvin Quattlebaum speaks to the overall lack of diversity in President Trump’s selections for the federal judiciary. Quattlebaum replaces not one, but two scuttled Obama nominees who were African American.”
“As of February 14th, 83 percent of the President Trump’s confirmed nominees were male, 92 percent were white. That represents the lowest share of non-white candidates in three decades. It’s long past time that the judiciary starts looking a lot more like the America it represents. Having a diversity of views and experiences on the federal bench is necessary for the equal administration of justice,” said Chuck Schumer.
Marvin Quattlebaum was ultimately confirmed to the district judgeship on Thursday, 69-29. (VIDEO BELOW)
Republican lawmakers came forward slapping obstructing Chuck for his shameful statements.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Thursday it was actually Schumer’s vote against Quattlebaum that was “a massive step backward.”

I judge nominees on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
Chuck Schumer should do the same. https://t.co/WM0U2NILQz

I’ve known Chuck Schumer for years.
He is not a racist, but this was an absolutely shameful reason to vote against a very qualified nominee like Marvin Quattlebaum.

This is political correctness run amok.
Voting against a highly qualified nominee because of the color of his skin does nothing to bring our country and nation together.
Frankly it is a massive step backward.

While Schumer “is not a racist,” Graham tweeted, “this was an absolutely shameful reason to vote against a very qualified nominee like Marvin Quattlebaum.” He added, “Voting against a highly qualified nominee because of the color of his skin does nothing to bring our country and nation together.”
Sen. Tim Scott also tweeted, “Perhaps Senate Democrats should be more worried about the lack of diversity on their own staffs than attacking an extremely well-qualified judicial nominee from the great state of South Carolina.” (VIDEO BELOW)
