Chuck Schumer refused to confirm a Trump judicial nominee based solely on his skin color, but Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) helpfully corrected the top Democrat with something he doesn’t encounter very often – facts.
Schumer admitted on the Senate floor earlier this week that he would not vote to approve the nomination of Marvin Quattlebaum for a vacancy on the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, because he is white and is replacing two minority nominees of former President Barack Obama’s.
“Quattlebaum replaces not one, but two scuttled Obama nominees who were African American,” he said.
The implication was clear – Trump was supposedly forcing (scuttling) the black nominees out and replacing them with his preferred white nominee.
The implication, however, was void of facts.
Gowdy to the rescue …
I hate to interrupt Senator Schumer with facts. But one nominee was withdrawn because of a significant bond issue, while the other became the Chief Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court.https://t.co/Hoj9e1xWhs

Indeed, Gowdy is referring to Obama’s first choice for the seat, Judge Alison Renee Lee, whose judicial competence was called into question when she lowered the bond for a pair of criminals who were released and subsequently murdered people, as well as his second nominee, Justice Donald Beatty, who became Chief Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court in February of 2017.
Those don’t exactly sound like people who were ‘scuttled.’
Gowdy also called Schumer out for his political and racial grandstanding, citing another white nominee in South Carolina that the New York Democrat didn’t oppose.
In addition, Senator Schumer did not oppose a recent white nominee in South Carolina also nominated by President Trump.

Gowdy finished by dropping a factual People’s Elbow on Schumer, then going for the pin with a little snark.
“Marvin Quattlebaum is uniquely well qualified for the bench and universally respected by all in South Carolina,” he said. “Hopefully Senator Schumer can find a way to look at really unusual factors (like qualifications) in the future.”

Don’t hold your breath, Mr. Gowdy. Facts and merit don’t matter in today’s Democrat Party.

As a response and clarification to the poll question near the end of the article. There are some “true” racists in the democrat party, fortunately not as many as in the past but I do believe that all democrats are what I call opportunistic racists. If it fits their narrative they are died in the wool racists. But they are more likely to put the label on someone else.
Schemer Schumer is over his head being in a position of influence in our country. His ideas on policy are the antithesis of what hard working Americans have fought and died for over the course of American history. He wants open borders and wouldn’t even consider deporting any illegal aliens. He is backing “sanctuary cities” where illegals are running wild. The recently released statistics show illegal immigrants are far more likely to commit rape, murder and other felonies that citizens. Why do we need this and why have we been lied to these many years about illegal immigration? We don’t need politicians like Schumer whose focus is on their own power rather than the good and well being of our society. It’s amazing this racist creep who appears demonized was even elected.
How many presidents keep the previous president’s appointees? The Supreme Court is the only court that the judges receive a lifetime appointment.
Ahhh isn’t that racism? Bigotry? Prejudicial?
Chuckie continues to define himself and his fellow democrats as obstructionists at best and
race baiters at worst. As large as the democrat promises are to their identity political groups
the results are very small. The promise of America and Americanism is for all regardless
of skin color
Not hiring him because he’s white??? — THAT’s discrimination!!!
I really don’t believe Schumer is a racist any more than I believe Trump is a racist. Schumer is guilty of something more vile than racism. He and most other Democrats garner minority votes with promises and social programs. I don’t think Dems would cater to the undocumented , refugees, or the indigent if they could win elections without their votes. At least we have a president who is color blind and chooses his appointees the way he wants to choose immigrants ..by merit. I don’t think there would be sanctuary cities if the non-citizens were exempted from the census (which boosts the amount of representatives. A vote or a census tick from an MS13 gang member is welcomed by a Democrat candidate. I believe when a politician says everyone needs representation regardless of legal status, what he really means is “The only part of you that matters is your vote”
If you remove the “H” from Schumer you get “SCUMER!”
Shumer is a disgusting fuzzmouth degenerate. As a jew he looks what his racial buddies: VERY UGLY! God marked them with their typical racial features, so we cam]n see them each time when they want to disperse among us
For any leftist they have a right to distort the truth. They get a special dispensation from their god to lie, etc. because what they want is superior to what anyone else wants.
So, if you haven’t already, become a conservative republican.
SHUMER IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE DOG CATCHER, HE IS ONE OF THE MANY IN MY PARTY TRYING TO TEAR AMERICA A PART AND NEARLY SUCCEDED WITH OUR PAST MUSLIM ILLEGAL PRESIDENT, OBAMA, HILLIARY, SORROS, JOHN KERRY, THE BIASED MEDIA AND ALL OF OBAMA’S STAFF, NEARLY SUCEEDED AND THEY ARE STILL TRYING.
Schumer says: “My psychiatrist told me I’m going crazy”.
He told him: “If you don’t mind, I’d like a second opinion.”

“OK…You’re ugly too!”
this denocrap needs to be flushed
They’re all corrupt Luci, we should overthrow most of these politicians.
It would be REAL interesting to know how ‘closerthanthis’ the ties were between Harry Reed, Dick Durbin, Schumer, ET AL, Wang Yusuo, ENN deal in NV.? Hundreds of billions of dollars, also rogue countries received billions from 0’B, Soro’s, Hillary, Admin in 2009? What was their commissions, how ELSE did they benefit? Have they EVER been investigated now that the “Barn Door” is now standing open? These degenerates have been milking our country DRY without dropping ANY crumbs! Instead allowing the “guard dogs” to lick the floor clean! Then MOP the floor with US! It’s hysterical the way God is revealing just enough to start these sub-humans catterwailing again! SO funny to see them acting like a bunch of cats in a sand box! God has seen enough, and he’s just getting started in uncovering the “cat crap”!
Communist/Socialist left winger Schumer is a disgrace to the position he holds and does not serve his constituents. He will continue his illicit rants and outcries since he hates Trump and everything Trump stands for. Therefore, this must mean Schumer does not believe in the tax reform which brought better paychecks to the masses. Therefore an enemy of the people.
Chuck Schumer is racist by definition. ‘Reverse’ racism is racism.
Maybe Chuck should consider their qualifications not the color of their skins? Blacks are 13.3% of the American population not as much as other colors, why then should they control others of more % of our population? Wake up Chuck, smell the coffee! Maybe NY will put up with kind of lunacy but, the rest of us won’t!
Schumer is a pampered and perverted punkish prissy prima donna.
Sounds like Schumer is admitting that the appointments of the two African American Judges were racially motivated in the first place. Schumer is simply a creep.
Schumer is the typical Jew and his remarks are mild to what Jews truly think and feel about the GOY (subhumans). Simply Google: THE HATE IN THE TALMUD and read what these vampires think of Christians and white people. No, they don’t think themselves white.
Jews are taught to believe they are superior- god’s chosen. It’s a lie from Hell. If GOD rewards a group of mass murderers (Jew Bolsheviks) who tortured and murdered 150+ MILLION white- Christians in the most horrific ways imaginable while lying about the holocaust (TM) * Never happened but pays well ($6 Billion a year scam) and annihilating the Christian German people wrongly vilified… If GOD rewards the promoters of every vile- disgusting perverse thing via Hollywood, Jewish controlled music and Jewish controlled Wall street (USURY) HE isn’t my GOD.
Jesus Christ referred to these people as “the devil’s children”. That says it all to me. This schmuck wants to disarm you. Are we following the Jew Bolshevik- Marxist handbook for genocide or what? Yes we are. Now you know why Jews have been ousted by every civilization throughout history. Vile-evil and treacherous… parasitic in nature.
Marjorie posting: I hope Trey Gowdy is training his replacement. I will miss the verbal slap downs Gowdy is so good at handing out to the corrupt dems.
Schumer: Chalky need not apply. And don’t use “qualifications” as an excuse for being “qualified”.
Schumer is a follower, not a leader at all. He sucks the worst and has always been racist but will never admit to it. He is a hypocrite just like Hillary, Obama and the rest of them. Too much power went to his stupid head and now he is even more evil than before. He had a fighting chance at one point but lost that years ago.
I am so proud of Trey Gowdy for the fact that he puts it on the table as it is. America will be heartbroken when he leaves office this year. I will be saddened very much because who will take his place? I wonder. We are losing a great man. Hopefully whomever takes his place will have the balls this man has.
FACTS and FIGURES confuse the democrats and liberals. Gowdy is so right on!!
Schumer is just an example of which party is the party of racism.
Now who is kindling racism? Obama started it and is obviously continuing it with the Dems who are obviously products of group think and their leader, Chuck (dumb cluck) Schumer.
“Trey Gowdy Wrecks Schumer With Facts After He Voted ‘No’ On Judicial Nominee Because He’s White”
Good ole Chuck “The Schmuck” Schumer being a racist.
GONE brain dead? Democrats have been brain dead since the mid ’60s.
Oh so now we replace people based on their color; NOT QUALIFICATIONS? Obama was replaced by a WHITE President. Apples and Oranges? Get a life; we want an experienced leader with good qualifications. I think the democrats have gove BRAIN DEAD……..
Wish someone would eat him but he’s so nasty they’d just spit him back out! How do I get that dirty taste out of my mouth? Yuck!
Chuck Schumer is a liberal jew…..but liberal jews eat their own
CHUCK SCHUMER IS A RACIST AND AN ANTI SEMITE.WHAT ETHNIC GROUP IS THE ONE OF THE SMALLEST. JEWISH PEOPLE AND CHUCK TRIED TO STOP A QUALIFIED MAN OF GOOD CHARACTER UNLIKE CHUCK ROE CHUCK WADE. I STILL HEAR HIM SPEAKING IN NAZI TERMS ROE VS VADE IS SETTLED LAW. SIG HEIL. I CALL HIM CHUCK HIMMLER.
Good try Trey….you did the right thing even though it fell on blocked ears/eyes/reasoning power….which obviously the old boy is clearly lacking.
If stupid were a crime, Chuckie Boy would be a felon.
Ignorance can be cured by education.
Stupidity has no known cure.
Chuck, the schmuck.
I love it…. Shucks Schumer!!!
Schumer shucks. He is just pathetic and despicable.
