U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer Faces Opposition From Liberal Democrats For His Rejection Of President Obama's Iran Nuclear Deal



Washington Times: Chuck Schumer divides Democrats with opposition to Obama’s Iran nuclear deal

As a strategist who has delighted in trying to divide the Republican Party, Sen. Charles E. Schumer now finds himself a divisive figure in the Democratic Party over his opposition to the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran.

Progressive groups are circulating online petitions denouncing the New York Democrat as a “warmonger,” pledging to withhold campaign donations to Mr. Schumer and any other Democratic lawmakers who vote against the accord, and threatening to derail Mr. Schumer’s plans to take over as leader of Senate Democrats when Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada retires.

WNU Editor: You gotta love Washington politics .... but I know this "split" will be forgotten when the election cycle heats up next year.
