A group of Democrats and one Democratic-aligned independent have helped clinch an agreement to end the government shutdown, saying they had secured a vote on the Affordable Care Act subsidies at the center of the standoff.
In fact, they were acting with the express approval of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and were reporting to him daily.
Uh…
That first link definitely says that, but it doesn’t actually back it up with anything…
The second link is a politician accusing Schumer of being ineffective, which is 100% true…
The third is fucking Faux News and just says Schumer was “informed”…
Like, not only do none of those three links back up what you’re saying, if anything they paint the picture that Schumer is ineffective and couldn’t have done anything if he wanted. Which is the most likely explanation.
