NOTE: This article is an updated version of “Must-Watch: Senate Mocks Schumer as He Calls NYT Poll Biased” and now includes new details highlighting Senator Chuck Schumer’s 2005 push for a 27.5% tariff on China — exposing his long history of hypocrisy on trade and economic policy.

Back in 2005, Senator Chuck Schumer proudly stood before the cameras demanding a 27.5% tariff on all Chinese imports, claiming America had to “stand up to China” to protect American workers. He called China a “currency manipulator” and insisted tough trade penalties were the only way to stop Beijing from undercutting U.S. manufacturing. At that time, Schumer said America “cannot continue to allow China to cheat its way to the top.”

In his own words, Schumer declared, “It’s time to put some muscle into our trade relationship with China. For too long, the Chinese government has been playing games with the value of its currency in order to get a competitive edge. As a result, U.S. manufacturing jobs and profits are disappearing at an alarming rate. We can’t afford to let any more time go by without taking concrete and strong action.”

He wasn’t alone. Schumer’s bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by Senator Lindsey Graham, threatened to slap China with a 27.5% tariff unless it stopped manipulating its currency. At the time, Schumer said, “This report proves that our bipartisan legislation is needed as a tough-love effort to get the Chinese to stop playing games with their currency.”

But years later, when President Donald Trump took bold steps to confront Beijing using the very same tariff strategy, Schumer turned on his own words. He accused Trump of “starting a trade war” and claimed tariffs would “hurt consumers.”

The hypocrisy is impossible to ignore.

The same senator who once demanded tariffs to protect U.S. jobs now ridicules the president who actually followed through. Schumer’s transformation—from a Democrat willing to stand up to China to a partisan willing to attack any Trump policy—shows how far the party has drifted from its working-class roots.

Trump’s America First policy sought to correct decades of unfair trade deals and rebuild domestic manufacturing. Yet Schumer, who once called for the same thing, sided with globalist talking points instead.

Schumer’s reversal didn’t go unnoticed. Conservative commentators have resurfaced his old speeches, comparing them to his modern-day criticisms of Trump’s tariffs. The contrast paints a clear picture of political convenience.

Even the New York Times in 2005 described Schumer’s proposal as “a serious warning to China.” Today, the same outlet calls Trump’s trade policy “reckless.” The double standard could not be clearer.

Schumer’s credibility continues to unravel as his past statements resurface. His record shows that when it was politically safe to criticize China, he did. But when Trump took real action, Schumer suddenly changed his tune.

And it’s not just on trade where Schumer’s inconsistencies shine through.

Recently, the Senate Minority Leader faced ridicule after claiming a New York Times poll blaming Democrats for the government shutdown was “biased.”

The laughter erupted in the Senate chamber as Schumer argued that his hometown paper was unfairly portraying Democrats in a negative light.

The New York Times/Siena College poll surveyed 1,313 registered voters between September 22 and September 27. It found that 65 percent of respondents said Democrats should not shut down the government, while only 27 percent said they should. Even Democrats were split, with less than half supporting a shutdown if their demands were unmet.

Schumer dismissed the poll as biased, saying, “Now I know the leader is going to show a poll that says that the Democrats will be blamed for the shutdown. There are many more polls that show Republicans are blamed. The question in that poll is biased. Biased. It’s in the New York Times, but it’s biased.”

He added, “I don’t always believe in the New York Times, you can be sure of that. Neither do you.”

That admission triggered laughter across the Senate floor, even among Democrats who seemed caught off guard by Schumer’s sudden skepticism of his longtime media ally.

The irony is glaring: Schumer is now accusing the same outlet of bias that he routinely cites when convenient. It’s a familiar pattern. When facts expose Democrat failures, Schumer cries foul. When coverage benefits his party, he celebrates it.

The government officially shut down as the clock struck midnight on October 1 after Democrats blocked the Republicans’ clean continuing resolution.

The New York Times poll reflects what Americans already know: Democrats’ shutdown tactics are deeply unpopular. Yet Schumer, instead of facing the truth, chose to discredit the data.

“Americans are tired of political games,” one conservative outlet wrote in response to the viral Senate clip. “Schumer calling polls biased only exposes how out of touch Democrats are.”

BREAKING: Anna Paulina Luna Claims The Biden DOJ DESTROYED…

Representative Anna Paulina Luna has leveled explosive information against the Biden Department of Justice, claiming that critical materials related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation have been deliberately destroyed.

 

Luna, who chairs a congressional task force focused on federal transparency, has stated unequivocally that she possesses evidence implicating high-ranking officials in the DOJ.

She introduced legislation titled the SHRED Act, aimed at imposing severe penalties on government agents who destroy or conceal federal records. The proposed bill calls for 20 years to life in prison for anyone caught eliminating evidence in cases of national significance.

“Even if they are conducting a criminal investigation, you should probably pick up the phone and call us,” Luna told Fox News. “We have been more than patient.”

These developments come amid growing conservative suspicion that the Biden administration has no interest in unmasking Epstein’s full network. The notion that key records could be gone forever only intensifies fears that justice is being buried under a bureaucratic rug.

Luna’s office has reportedly sent multiple requests to the Department of Justice demanding clarity on the handling of Epstein-related materials. So far, those inquiries have been met with either vague responses or complete silence.

The congresswoman did not mince words in her public statements, suggesting that the DOJ’s behavior constitutes a deliberate act of obstruction. If true, such actions could violate federal law and trigger an entirely new legal battle.

“The Biden DOJ has obstructed Congress, ignored subpoenas, and now appears to have destroyed critical evidence,” Luna said. “This is corruption at the highest level.”

Critics argue that this is yet another example of double standards in Washington. “Had this been a Republican-led DOJ accused of destroying documents in a child sex trafficking case, the media would be apoplectic,” one conservative commentator noted.

For years, the Epstein case has symbolized the deep rot within America’s elite circles. The financier’s suspicious death in prison and the subsequent lack of high-profile indictments have fueled accusations of a widespread cover-up.

Now, Luna’s allegations breathe new life into those concerns. If records were indeed destroyed, the implications are profound. It would mean that the DOJ, under Biden, actively shielded criminals from justice.

What’s more troubling is that these destroyed materials could have named prominent individuals—politicians, celebrities, and global financiers—who participated in or enabled Epstein’s crimes.

In this context, Luna’s SHRED Act isn’t just legislative symbolism. It is a clarion call for accountability in an era marked by elite impunity. Her bill seeks to ensure that future officials think twice before erasing truth from the historical record.

Despite Luna’s repeated calls for transparency, there has been no formal response from Attorney General Merrick Garland. The silence speaks volumes to many who believe the DOJ is stonewalling on purpose.

Meanwhile, conservative lawmakers have rallied behind Luna. A growing number of Republicans in the House and Senate are voicing support for investigations into the DOJ’s handling of Epstein evidence.

Some have even floated the idea of appointing a special counsel to probe the matter independently. Given the stakes, such a move may be the only path forward to restore public confidence.

This latest scandal further erodes the credibility of an already battered Department of Justice. From the Hunter Biden laptop fiasco to the political targeting of conservatives, the agency has been repeatedly accused of partisanship.

Now, with Epstein documents allegedly destroyed, the DOJ’s credibility is in tatters. Public trust, once broken, is hard to rebuild.

The American people deserve the truth. And if Luna’s allegations are accurate, they deserve justice, no matter how high the guilty parties sit.

BREAKING: Tom Homan Reveals an Investigation is Underway Into AOC For…

 

Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed that a federal investigation is underway into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for allegedly employing a criminal illegal alien and helping others evade federal immigration authorities.

Speaking from his post as one of President Trump’s top immigration officials, Homan revealed that ICE has launched a formal probe after multiple allegations emerged against the congresswoman.

“This is a live federal investigation. We’ve asked ICE to take immediate action,” Homan said during a televised interview.

The individual in question is reportedly an undocumented alien with a criminal record, unlawfully hired by AOC’s office.

According to internal reports, the employee had multiple encounters with law enforcement and should have been deported years ago.

Homan stressed that AOC’s potential interference with ICE operations could amount to obstruction of justice.

“This goes beyond hiring an illegal alien. There’s evidence she actively helped shield this person from deportation,” he stated.

Conservative leaders are sounding the alarm, warning that this may be only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to far-left officials flouting immigration laws.

AOC has long been known for championing sanctuary cities and attacking border agents, often labeling them as “racist” and “oppressors.”

 

Now, critics say her reckless rhetoric has crossed over into potentially criminal behavior.

“If a sitting congresswoman used her office to harbor an illegal alien, that’s a clear violation of federal law,” Homan declared.

Sources inside ICE say agents have already gathered documentation and begun interviewing individuals connected to the case.

Evidence suggests AOC may have leveraged her political power to block enforcement action against the individual she employed.

House Republicans are demanding accountability, with several calling for a formal ethics investigation into her conduct.

“This is what happens when radicals gain power. They think the law doesn’t apply to them,” said Rep. Andy Biggs.

Democrats quickly circled the wagons, accusing Homan of launching a political smear campaign.

But Homan stood firm, reminding the public that the law is the law and political office offers no immunity from prosecution.

“This isn’t about politics. It’s about national security and public trust,” he said.

Homan emphasized that ICE agents are working independently and that the White House is not interfering in the investigation.

“We are following the facts. If those facts point to criminal activity, then action will be taken,” Homan confirmed.

Legal experts say AOC could face charges ranging from unlawful employment to obstruction of federal agents, depending on the evidence.

Citizens outraged by the news are demanding swift justice and a full public accounting of the congresswoman’s actions.

Homan urged Americans not to let political ideology blind them to the seriousness of the allegations.

“We must restore the rule of law,” he concluded. “No one, no matter how powerful, is above it.”

BREAKING: The FBI Launches Criminal Investigation Into..

It’s finally happening.

John Brennan and James Comey—two of the most powerful Obama-era intelligence chiefs—are now facing criminal investigations.

Their role in pushing the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion narrative derailed a presidency and deceived the nation.

 

Sources inside the Justice Department confirm that former CIA Director Brennan is under investigation for allegedly lying to Congress.

Ex-FBI Director Comey is also the subject of an ongoing probe.

Their roles in the origin and manipulation of the Trump-Russia hoax are being scrutinized, years after millions of Americans demanded accountability.

Brennan is accused of pushing the phony Steele dossier into official intelligence assessments.

CIA Russia experts warned the document was so flawed it didn’t meet even “the most basic tradecraft standards.”

“Jasmine Crockett didn’t just insult Trump,” Leavitt said during her White House briefing. “She smeared over 70 million Americans who believe in freedom, God, secure borders, and the Constitution. Calling them mentally ill is not just false—it’s dangerous.”

 

Brennan ignored the warnings and formalized his demand in writing, insisting the fake dossier be included anyway.

James Comey, for his part, did the same.

The CIA’s review makes clear: FBI leadership under Comey pressured the intelligence community to embed the Steele dossier in their final report on Russian election interference.

The FBI “repeatedly pushed” for its inclusion.

These two didn’t just make bad calls. They rigged the process.

Even worse, Brennan later told Congress under oath that the Steele dossier “wasn’t part of the corpus of intelligence” used in the Russia assessment.

But a newly surfaced email shows that he pushed the dossier hard, despite being warned it could destroy the report’s credibility.

It was about kneecapping President Trump before he was even sworn in.

“This was Obama, Comey, Clapper, and Brennan deciding, ‘We’re going to screw Trump,’” former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told the press.

“They all knew what they were doing.”

Millions of tax dollars were wasted. Reputations were destroyed.

“Jasmine Crockett should visit a Trump rally before shooting her mouth off,” Leavitt challenged.

“She’ll meet grandmothers, veterans, farmers, teachers, truckers—all proud Americans who just want their country back. These are the people she called mentally ill. What an absolute disgrace.”

 

And for what? To push Hillary Clinton’s opposition research as gospel truth.

Clinton and the DNC paid Fusion GPS to dig up dirt.

Fusion hired British ex-spy Christopher Steele. Steele gave them fiction.

Senator Josh Hawley demanded action: “If Brennan and Comey lied to Congress or weaponized their agencies against a political opponent, they should be prosecuted—no exceptions, no excuses.”

This scandal is bigger than Watergate.

It poisoned public trust, warped the 2016 election aftermath, and set the tone for years of baseless attacks on a sitting president.

The investigations are underway.

Now the question is, will the justice system do its job, or will the same people who buried the truth for years bury it again?

Brennan and Comey must be held accountable.

No one is above the law, not even the architects of one of the most dishonest political smear campaigns in American history.
