Chuck Schumer is at it again, folks. The Senate Minority Leader graced NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, where he delivered a masterclass in gaslighting, deflection, and outright denial. When asked about Joe Biden’s painfully obvious mental decline, Schumer didn’t just skirt the issue—he flat-out denied reality, even when host Kristen Welker played a clip of him contradicting himself. It was like watching someone look at the sky, call it green, and then insist the video of them calling it blue was “taken out of context.”
But wait, there’s more. Schumer wasn’t content with embarrassing himself on the topic of Biden’s cognitive struggles. No, he went full “blame the voters” mode when pressed about Democrats’ crushing defeats in November. His analysis? Americans are apparently too dim to understand how much the Democrats have done for them. That’s right, folks. The party that handed us record inflation, skyrocketing energy prices, a humiliating Afghanistan withdrawal, and a full-blown assault on the Supreme Court is now lecturing us about how we’re just too blind to see their greatness.
Here’s Schumer’s pearl of wisdom:
“We really didn’t show the kind of empathy and concern to average working families who didn’t realize how much we had done and how much we care for them.”
Wow!! Here’s Schumer once again calling Americans dumb because they didn’t understand how much the Democrats did for the country pic.twitter.com/TNv37OtZLP

Translation? “You ungrateful peasants didn’t appreciate all the wonderful things we did for you.” You know, like draining your savings at the gas pump, turning grocery shopping into a game of financial Russian roulette, and making sure your kids get an education steeped in gender studies while math scores plummet.
Schumer’s solution? More “empathy.” Because nothing says “we care” like ramming through a Green New Deal agenda that kills jobs and calling anyone who dares to vote Republican a “threat to democracy.” But hey, maybe they just didn’t market it well enough. It’s the classic Democrat playbook: It’s not that their policies are bad—it’s that you’re too dumb to appreciate them.
And then there’s this gem:
“We did some things right against very severe headwinds. We kept four of those seven contested Democratic seats. But we did some things wrong. And we have to look in the mirror and see what we did wrong.”
Chuck, let me save you some mirror time. What you did wrong was everything. Voters aren’t rejecting your party because they don’t understand your policies. They’re rejecting your party because they do understand them—and they’ve lived through the results. They’ve seen their paychecks shrink while their expenses soar. They’ve watched chaos unfold on the southern border. They’ve experienced firsthand what happens when law enforcement is defunded, and crime runs rampant. No amount of spin will change that.
But by all means, Chuck, keep doubling down on the same failed strategies. Keep treating the American people like they’re too stupid to know what’s good for them. Keep blaming voters for not bowing down to your party’s brilliance. Because here’s the thing: the voters aren’t stupid, and they’ve had enough.
You lost the House. You lost the Senate. And you lost the Oval Office. Maybe it’s time for a little less gaslighting and a lot more self-awareness. But something tells me we shouldn’t hold our breath.
