New York Dem Rebukes Schumer, Pledges to Vote GOP Until Party Returns to ‘Sanity'

h/t Instapundit
[Free Beacon] - Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing rebuke from a fellow New York Democrat and longtime political ally, for distorting‐for electoral gain‐the record and policies of the Trump administration.

Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who represents Schumer's home borough of Brooklyn in the New York legislature, penned an open letter to the senator after receiving a campaign mailer soliciting financial contributions. Hikind said the mailer attacked the "hard right" while omitting "vital information."

In his letter, which was posted on the assemblyman's Facebook page, Hikind castigated Schumer for promising to fight "for Democratic values" while providing little in means of substance.

..."You forgot to tell us about the economy. As good as it’s been, economists expect even more growth through the end of the year. That’s very good news," Hikind wrote. "You forgot to tell us about unemployment, which is lower than it has been in decades, while economic confidence is at a 17-year high."

Hikind also expressed support for the tax cuts proposed by the president and enacted by congressional Republicans.

"You forgot to tell us about tax cuts. I’m part of the middle class and now I’m getting a little extra in my paycheck," he wrote. "I’m happy about that and so are tens of millions of Americans, Senator."

#1 Everything inside the party, nothing outside the party, nothing against the party. How the Donks have embraced that. NB - it's projection when they call others fascists.

#2 According to his Wikipedia page, Dov Hikind retired from the NYS Assembly at the end of 2018. Also, while he was indeed a Democrat, he has consistently endorsed Republican presidential candidates since George W, Bush.
