Chuck Schumer Doubles Down on Debunked Lies
Saturday Shitshow: Your weekend dose of media madness
It’s a great day to be a Useful Idiot because Chuck Schumer’s got a new book out! Katie already has her copy and we’re ready to read this thing cover to cover. It’s called Antisemitism in America: A Warning.
It should be a great read, especially coming from one of the world’s leading spreaders of antisemitism. Just this week, as the Jewish-supremacist state of Israel killed hundreds of children in its latest attack on Gaza, Schumer went on The View to sell his book and spread blood libel against Palestinians.
“All of a sudden,” he says, “when the Jews were attacked by Hamas initially and the women raped and the little babies heads chopped off and all of that brutally, all of a sudden, antisemitism developed.”
These lies, which are used to dehumanize Palestinians and justify the mass murder of children, have been debunked. Even Joe Biden was told by his staff that he had to stop claiming Hamas rape and beheaded babies because there was no evidence for it. So why is Chuck Schumer still lying, and why does The View let him do it so easily?
We’re watching you Chuck, but don’t worry, we’re watching Trump too. Also this week, one of Trump’s DOJ officials announced that he would be “eradicating antisemitism” on college campuses and cracking down on protesters. This comes as ICE arrested and detained Columbia grad student and green-card-citizen Mohammed Khalil for leading protests against the genocide of Palestinians. Trump campaigned on being better than the Democrats on free speech. So far, they’re neck and neck for who’s the most terrible.
Also on this week’s Saturday Shitshow: Trump’s commerce secretary openly tells the public to buy Tesla stock in one of the biggest examples of corruption in the administration yet, Boris Johnson once again proves himself to be a useful idiot by claiming that Zelensky was pushed by the Ukrainian nationalist right to block a peace deal with Russia, and UI-guest Scott Horton went on Piers Morgan to crush the writer of the Steele Dossier.
There’s so much to make fun of on corporate media this week so we’re calling it a shitshow. Thanks for supporting independent media, subscribe to watch the full episode here:
