There were calls for him to step down this past spring that got news articles: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/23/chuck-schumer-rejects-calls-to-step-down-as-senate-democratic-leader.html
Has Schumer stepped down? Is anyone listening to Ro Khanna any more than they listed to everyone else?
I'm sure Thiel has terrible reasons for the removal that are different than everyone else's reasons. It isn't like he is tricking people into wanting the thing they already wanted.
Not sure if you noticed, but Ro Kahnna's slimey ass has been all over main stream media since Sunday night calling for Schumer's removal, and being labeled as a fucking progressive.
I just want to know why nobody is asking why the fuck the "progressive" who has been owned by Peter Thiel for his entire career, is the one currently leading the call. If you can't at least acknowledge that's shady as fuck, you're literally just sticking your head in the sand.
The fact that this guy even has a seat in congress can be explained by the fact that his constituents are silicon valley billionaires. The fact that the media calls him a progressive can be explained by the fact that the media is paid by silicon valley billionaires.
I'm not sure what could possibly explain why anyone who is not a silicon valley billionaire or getting paid by silicon valley billionaires, would be defending and supporting this guy.
Is anyone defending and supporting this guy?
The media saying anything positive about him is likely due to being for profit media.
Seems like he is a useful mouthpiece for Thiel and the people who already wanted Schumer gone. Kind of like how MTG is a useful mouthpiece for reminding everyone about the Epstein files despite her being a terrible person.
Funny thing about MTG and her part in the "progressive" power throuple (Kahnna, MTG, and Massie) the media is trying to manufacture:
Taylor Greene has drawn criticism after she purchased stock in Peter Thiel-owned Palantir in April, three days before the company won an ICE contract.
