We’ve been talking about the choice Schumer faced, principle and what’s right, or possibly losing his coveted goal of getting the leadership position. Have to give him props for making the correct choice, knowing he would incur the attack of the Obama regime.

Via Mediaite:

At least two separate former Obama administration officials seemed to hint on Twitter that Democrats should consider denying New York Senator Chuck Schumer a leadership position after he broke with President Barack Obama on the Iran deal.

Ever since current Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid announced he would not seek reelection, Schumer has been seen as the heir apparent to head Senate Democrats. Back in March, potential rival Dick Durbin officially endorsed Schumer’s bid to take over the position.

But former Director of Speechwriting Jon Favreau threw some shade Schumer’s way, asking “This is our next Senate leader?” He then tweeted out a Huffington Post story on Durbin’s support of the Iran deal, writing “This is a Democratic leader.”

Likewise, former Senior Adviser to President Obama Dan Pfeiffer endorsed an attack on Schumer from Moveon.org, and questioned Schumer’s ability to lead the Democrats.
