Chuck Schumer is scared. Though he personally supports Israel, he knows he lives in a state filled with Bolsheviks and antisemites. One of the most prominent of that lot is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC. She is making noises about running against him in 2022. She could beat him. His answer? Sell out Israel.

FNC: “The Senate GOP reelection arm is taking aim at Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer over his relative silence the past couple of days regarding the fierce fighting between Israel and Hamas. In a new TV ad shared first with Fox News on Tuesday, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) charges that Schumer, the senior senator from New York and the top Democrat in the chamber, is keeping quiet over concerns that progressive firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may challenge him next year when he’s running for reelection.

“Schumer, who is Jewish and typically one of the most ardent defenders of Israel on Capitol Hill, has been fairly quiet the past two days as the attacks between Israel and Hamas forces based in the Gaza Strip have continued to rage. When asked about the Middle East flare-up at news conference Tuesday afternoon, Schumer gave a boiler plate statement before deferring to fellow Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. While there is uniform support for Israel’s ability to defend itself from attacks by Hamas among congressional Republicans, a growing number of progressive Democrats in Congress are questioning Washington’s support of conservative Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”

“Many Democrat leaders are siding with the terrorists,” the NRSC spot charges. The narrator then queries “why is Democrat leader Chuck Schumer not defending Israel?” claiming that “Schumer’s scared AOC will run against him. He’s been silenced. Schumer would rather save himself than stand up for Israel.” Excellent.

The ad then utilizes soundbites of AOC and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota speaking on the House floor against Israel. Chuck Schumer has taken precautions to strengthen his seat against any primary challenge in 2022 from the Left. But AOC hasn’t ruled out such a gambit and could give him a run for his money. For being such a coward, serves him right.
