He called China a \u201ccurrency manipulator\u201d and insisted tough trade penalties were the only way to stop Beijing from undercutting U.S. manufacturing. At that time, Schumer said America \u201ccannot continue to allow China to cheat its way to the top.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his own words, Schumer declared,\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s time to put some muscle into our trade relationship with China. For too long, the Chinese government has been playing games with the value of its currency in order to get a competitive edge. As a result, U.S. manufacturing jobs and profits are disappearing at an alarming rate. We can\u2019t afford to let any more time go by without taking concrete and strong action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He wasn\u2019t alone. Schumer\u2019s bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by Senator Lindsey Graham, threatened to slap China with a 27.5% tariff unless it stopped manipulating its currency. At the time, Schumer said,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis report proves that our bipartisan legislation is needed as a tough-love effort to get the Chinese to stop playing games with their currency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But years later, when President Donald Trump took bold steps to confront Beijing using the very same tariff strategy, Schumer turned on his own words. He accused Trump of \u201cstarting a trade war\u201d and claimed tariffs would \u201churt consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hypocrisy is impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n<p>The same senator who once demanded tariffs to protect U.S. jobs now ridicules the president who actually followed through. Schumer\u2019s transformation\u2014from a Democrat willing to stand up to China to a partisan willing to attack any Trump policy\u2014shows how far the party has drifted from its working-class roots.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s America First policy sought to correct decades of unfair trade deals and rebuild domestic manufacturing. Yet Schumer, who once called for the same thing, sided with globalist talking points instead.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer\u2019s reversal didn\u2019t go unnoticed. Conservative commentators have resurfaced his old speeches, comparing them to his modern-day criticisms of Trump\u2019s tariffs. The contrast paints a clear picture of political convenience.<\/p>\n<p>Even the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0in 2005 described Schumer\u2019s proposal as \u201ca serious warning to China.\u201d Today, the same outlet calls Trump\u2019s trade policy \u201creckless.\u201d The double standard could not be clearer.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer\u2019s credibility continues to unravel as his past statements resurface. His record shows that when it was politically safe to criticize China, he did. But when Trump took real action, Schumer suddenly changed his tune.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not just on trade where Schumer\u2019s inconsistencies shine through.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the Senate Minority Leader faced ridicule after claiming a\u00a0New York Times\u00a0poll blaming Democrats for the government shutdown was \u201cbiased.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The laughter erupted in the Senate chamber as Schumer argued that his hometown paper was unfairly portraying Democrats in a negative light.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0New York Times\/Siena College\u00a0poll surveyed 1,313 registered voters between September 22 and September 27. It found that 65 percent of respondents said Democrats should not shut down the government, while only 27 percent said they should. Even Democrats were split, with less than half supporting a shutdown if their demands were unmet.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer dismissed the poll as biased, saying,\u00a0\u201cNow I know the leader is going to show a poll that says that the Democrats will be blamed for the shutdown. There are many more polls that show Republicans are blamed. The question in that poll is biased. Biased. It\u2019s in the New York Times, but it\u2019s biased.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added,\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t always believe in the New York Times, you can be sure of that. Neither do you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That admission triggered laughter across the Senate floor, even among Democrats who seemed caught off guard by Schumer\u2019s sudden skepticism of his longtime media ally.<\/p>\n<p>The irony is glaring: Schumer is now accusing the same outlet of bias that he routinely cites when convenient. It\u2019s a familiar pattern. When facts expose Democrat failures, Schumer cries foul. When coverage benefits his party, he celebrates it.<\/p>\n<p>The government officially shut down as the clock struck midnight on October 1 after Democrats blocked the Republicans\u2019 clean continuing resolution.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0New York Times\u00a0poll reflects what Americans already know: Democrats\u2019 shutdown tactics are deeply unpopular. Yet Schumer, instead of facing the truth, chose to discredit the data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans are tired of political games,\u201d one conservative outlet wrote in response to the viral Senate clip. \u201cSchumer calling polls biased only exposes how out of touch Democrats are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obama Goes Crazy When Sen.

Kennedy Exposes Michelle and Letitia James\u2019 Secret Relationship<\/p>\n<p>Obama Goes Crazy When Sen. Kennedy Exposes Michelle and Letitia James\u2019 Secret Relationship! Shocking! In a jaw-dropping Senate moment,Sen. Kennedy drops a bombshell that sends Barack Obama into a fury. The shocking revelation? A long-buried secret relationship between Michelle Obama and New York AG Letitia James. The political world may never be the same.<\/p>\n<p>In a dramatic Senate hearing that left onlookers stunned, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) unleashed a shocking allegation, claiming a \u201clong-buried secret relationship\u201d between former First Lady Michelle Obama and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The explosive accusation, delivered during a July 20 session of the Senate Judiciary Committee, reportedly sent former President Barack Obama into a fury, with sources describing his reaction as a \u201cmeltdown\u201d that has set the political world ablaze. The claim, amplified by viral posts on X, has ignited fierce debate, with no concrete evidence yet to substantiate Kennedy\u2019s bombshell, raising questions about its validity and motives.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy\u2019s remarks came during a heated discussion on the politicization of the Justice Department, where he referenced a Justice Department probe into James, who is accused of mortgage fraud by Trump administration officials. Citing \u201ccredible sources,\u201d Kennedy alleged that James and Michelle Obama shared a \u201cclose, personal relationship\u201d that influenced James\u2019 aggressive legal pursuits against Donald Trump, including her 2023 civil fraud case that resulted in a $454 million judgment against the Trump Organization. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just politics\u2014it\u2019s personal,\u201d Kennedy declared, hinting at undisclosed communications between the two women that he claimed \u201ccould shake the foundations of Democratic leadership.\u201d The senator\u2019s cryptic remarks, lacking specific evidence, prompted gasps in the chamber and immediate backlash from Democratic lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>Obama\u2019s Reaction and the Fallout<\/p>\n<p>Sources close to Obama, who was not present at the hearing but reportedly watching remotely, described him as \u201clivid\u201d and \u201cvisibly shaken\u201d by Kennedy\u2019s claims. A post on X, citing an unverified source, claimed Obama called the allegations \u201ca disgusting lie\u201d during a private conversation, slamming the senator for dragging his wife into political mudslinging. The reaction fueled speculation, with some on X suggesting Obama\u2019s anger stemmed from fear of exposure, while others argued it reflected outrage at a baseless smear. \u201cKennedy\u2019s playing with fire, but where\u2019s the proof?\u201d one user tweeted, reflecting the polarized sentiment online, where #ObamaMeltdown trended alongside #KennedyBombshell.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged \u201csecret relationship\u201d remains undefined, with Kennedy\u2019s vague phrasing leaving room for interpretation. Some conservative outlets, like\u00a0Fox News, speculated it could refer to a professional alliance tied to Democratic Party strategies, while tabloid-style posts on X hinted at a personal connection, though no credible evidence supports such claims. Michelle Obama, who has repeatedly dismissed rumors about her marriage and personal life, has not publicly responded, but a spokesperson called the allegations \u201cfabricated nonsense\u201d designed to distract from James\u2019 legal battles. James, known for her high-profile cases against Trump, labeled the claim \u201cretribution\u201d for her work, echoing her defense against the mortgage fraud probe.<\/p>\n<p>Context of the Accusation<\/p>\n<p>The timing of Kennedy\u2019s claim aligns with heightened scrutiny of James, who faces a Justice Department investigation led by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi over alleged mortgage fraud involving properties in Virginia and Brooklyn. The probe, initiated by a referral from Trump\u2019s Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte, accuses James of falsifying records to secure favorable loan terms, a charge her lawyer, Abbe Lowell, dismissed as \u201cpolitical retribution.\u201d Kennedy\u2019s mention of Michelle Obama appears to build on recent conservative narratives, including a July 18 YouTube video claiming Senator J.D. Vance exposed a similar \u201csecret relationship\u201d between the two women, though that claim was debunked as lacking evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The Obama-James connection, if it exists, may stem from their shared history in Democratic circles. James, the first Black woman to serve as New York AG, has cited Michelle Obama as an inspiration, praising her advocacy for women and minorities in a 2019 speech. However, no documented evidence suggests a deeper relationship beyond professional admiration. The lack of specifics from Kennedy has led critics, including<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post, to label the claim a \u201cpolitical stunt\u201d aimed at inflaming Trump\u2019s base ahead of the 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n<p>Public and Political Reaction<\/p>\n<p>The allegations have divided observers. On X, some users hailed Kennedy as a \u201ctruth-teller exposing Democratic corruption,\u201d while others condemned him for spreading unverified gossip. \u201cNo receipts, no credibility,\u201d one user posted. Democrats, including Senator Richard Blumenthal, accused Kennedy of \u201cstooping to tabloid tactics,\u201d while Republicans like Senator Ted Cruz called for further investigation into James\u2019 actions and any Obama ties. The controversy has also reignited rumors about the Obamas\u2019 marriage, with<\/p>\n<p>Fox News\u00a0noting \u201cconcerning\u201d body language during a recent public appearance, though Michelle Obama has dismissed divorce rumors as \u201cbaseless.\u201dAs the story unfolds, Kennedy\u2019s office has promised to release \u201cfurther evidence\u201d but provided no timeline. Without concrete proof, the claim risks being dismissed as political theater, especially given James\u2019 ongoing legal battles and the polarized climate. For now, the political world watches closely, wondering if this bombshell will reshape narratives or fizzle out like past unverified scandals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resurfaced Video of Chuck Schumer Reveals Resurfaced Video of Chuck Schumer Reveals\u2026 NOTE: This article is an updated version of \u201cMust-Watch: Senate Mocks Schumer as He Calls NYT Poll Biased\u201d and now&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19378,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19379\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/19378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
