After Senate Republicans Revolt Over Biden’s Pick, Chuck Schumer Makes Surprise Move

It’s no secret that Republicans have been pretty outraged over the caliber of people being picked by the Biden administration. From cabinet members to judicial seats, it appears to many as if the people running this White House are looking for the worst of the worst.

Throughout this term, Republicans and even some Democrats have lambasted many of Biden’s nominees. Some of these people are blatant activists for radical causes.

Even Bernie Sanders has criticized some of Joe’s picks. Yet again, the Biden administration wanted to put a “committed Marxist” on the judicial bench; if that happened, it could have meant disaster for the many cases he presided over. Republicans revolted against this appointment — and as a result, Schumer was forced to do this.

From The Hill:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday pulled a planned vote on Mustafa Kasubhai’s nomination to be a district court judge in Oregon.

Kasubhai has garnered intense opposition among Republicans, who are hoping to tank his nomination. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) panned Schumer on Monday…

“Judge Kasubhai’s record and judicial philosophy put him well outside the mainstream,” McConnell said.

The Republican leader also labeled him a “committed Marxist” who is more interested in “passing fads of woke politics” than following the law.

Biden—or better put, one of Biden’s handlers—nominated Mustafa Kasubhai to be a district court judge in Oregon. Republicans rebuffed this judge, calling him a Marxist who pushed “passing fads of woke politics.” That was coming from Mitch McConnell, who has often been in the doghouse among many ardent Republican voters.

Republicans were opposed to this nomination. Sen. Manchin has refused to back an appointment that did not enjoy bipartisan support, but with several senators missing from the session, Schumer was forced to pull a planned vote on Kasubhai.

This is far from the first controversial nominee put up by Biden. Most of the people he’s picked to run the government (or serve on the bench) have far-left views or some history of radical activism. Biden was once a moderate Democrat, yet today, his decisions are increasingly leftist.

It’s almost as if he’s not making these decisions at all, huh? Could it be that possible Marxists within the White House are really making all the decisions?

Key Takeaways:

  • Schumer pulled a planned vote for a Biden court nominee, Mustafa Kasubhai.
  • Kasubhai is a “committed Marxist” known for pushing woke fads.
  • Democrats failed to get enough votes to pass the nominee, forcing Schumer’s hand.
