Charles Not In Charge

Chuck Schumer can't catch a break. Not long after being sworn in as the first Jewish leader of the U.S. Senate, the Democratic Party came down with a bad case of anti-Semitism. It inspired him to write a book, Antisemitism in America: A Warning, in which he recounts how John F. Kennedy's assassination really dampened the vibe at his bar mitzvah the following day. The ceremony went ahead as planned, unlike Schumer's tour to promote his new book, which was postponed due to threats of protest from anti-Semites and other Democrats fuming about his refusal to pick a pointless fight with Donald Trump. That's just as well, though, because the senator's warning about anti-Semitism appears to lack a viable constituency.
