Chuck Schumer couldn’t be bothered to attend the historic opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem today. No Democrats attended the opening. But Schumer actually approved of the new embassy and actually gave Trump credit for it! This is about as shocking as anyone actually finding Amy Schumer to be funny.

Though not a single Democratic member of Congress attended the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, and most objected to the move as harming the prospects for a two-state solution, the Democratic Senate leader praised the US president for following through on his campaign promise.
“In a long overdue move, we have moved our embassy to Jerusalem. Every nation should have the right to choose its capital,” said Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York. “I sponsored legislation to do this two decades ago, and I applaud President Trump for doing it.”
Schumer, who is Jewish, appeared to be a lone voice among his party on Capitol Hill. On Monday morning, the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which Trump addressed via video, aired on all the major cable news channels.
