After failing to block Betsy DeVos and Jeff Sessions, sad Democrat schmuck Chuck Schumer is telling Trump to withdraw labor secretary nominee Andrew Puzder. How about no, Chucky? Maybe you could withdraw your fat, untalented niece Amy Schumer from pretending to be a comedian.

Though President Trump and his Republican allies have blasted Senate Democrats for slow-walking his nominees, Schumer, D-N.Y., made it clear at a press conference Thursday they’re not finished yet — and called on the president to withdraw Puzder’s name.
“Remember the days when Republicans would actually nominate labor leaders to be head of the Department of Labor?” Schumer said, calling the nominee “one of the most anti-worker nominees to any Cabinet position.”
“They ought to withdraw Puzder’s [nomination] before he further embarrasses this administration,” Schumer said.
The demand comes after Democratic senators, despite spending days railing against their nominations, were unable to prevent now-Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions from being confirmed.
Two Republicans joined all 48 Democrats in opposing DeVos earlier this week, but Vice President Pence broke the tie in her favor, in his capacity as president of the Senate. Sessions, a longtime Alabama senator, was confirmed Wednesday evening on a 52-47 vote following a raucous debate. He was sworn-in Thursday.
