A woman holds a sign referring to the votes of Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer during the second in a series of “Resist Trump Tuesdays,” on Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2017, in New York at Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza, blocks from the senator’s New York city residence. Liberals are vowing to put pressure on Schumer to mount a vigorous opposition to the agenda of President Donald Trump.

NEW YORK >> He has emerged as the leader of the anti-Trump resistance on Capitol Hill, but to many of his liberal constituents, that’s not enough. They want Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York to take a hard line against nearly everything President Donald Trump stands for.

On Tuesday night, thousands of frustrated liberals chanted, “Filibuster everything!” and waved signs that read “Grow a spine, Chuck” during a protest outside Schumer’s Brooklyn apartment building.

At the same time, Schumer — the Senate minority leader — is facing intensifying pressure from the Trump administration for holding up some of the president’s Cabinet picks and has been mocked and insulted by Trump.

    Hairplugs Chuckie Schumer related to Amy “Will Leave USA if DJT wins POTUS Office” Schumer.
    What a family!

    This democrat meltdown set in motion by community organizer Barry Hussein is the gift that keeps on giving. First Waldo Clinton suffers a humiliating loss in the electoral college while winning the popular vote, then republicans capture the house and senate, Trump will turn the supreme court conservative for a generation and the democrat party is led by old, white coastal elites who are incapable of empathizing with the normal folks. Watching the democrat base in perpetual protest, flailing around like the proverbial chicken with it’s head cut off is quite entertaining and it’s just beginning. Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!
