Schumer let his bigotry get in the way of being a good party soldier in a way that's at least as condemnatble as any "I'll vote for a woman, just not *that* woman" abstainer.

A thing that annoys me about the Axios newsletter is that the tone is consistently “I am one of the top experts on this thing I learned about five minutes ago.” Also that they have 280 sources in the White House but their only source on the left is Rep. Capitulate Middle (D).
