A political firestorm erupted Thursday after Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio referred to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as “Fuhrer Schumer,” invoking the title of Adolf Hitler.
“Here’s the main thing you’ve got to understand,” Moreno told reporters while discussing President Donald Trump’s tax proposals. “Republicans are independently minded. Democrats are monolithic sheep that follow the Fuhrer Schumer’s orders.”
The incendiary comment was immediately denounced by Jewish leaders and civil rights organizations. A spokesperson for Schumer responded tersely, saying, “That’s textbook antisemitism, so we won’t comment on it.”
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, issued a blistering condemnation on social media: “It’s despicable and inexcusable to compare a Jewish leader in the Senate to Adolf Hitler. Nazi analogies in politics trivialize the Holocaust and the memory of the 6 million Jews who were murdered, including dozens of members of Sen. Schumer’s own family.”
Somewhat similarly, in March, President Trump said that Schumer “used to be Jewish” and had “become a Palestinian” — a remark widely panned as both antisemitic and Islamophobic.
“Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I’m concerned,” Trump said at the time. “He’s not Jewish anymore. He’s a Palestinian.” Trump also once said that Schumer was a “proud member of Hamas.”

He is an ex jew
There is no antisemitism trump has already established that mr Schumer is a Palestinian
What the Senator from Ohio said is pure antisemitic rhetoric. The subject at hand was how the Democrats follow Schumer regardless of what they actually believe, which is not related to the Nazis, because it relates to any dictatorship, so bringing the “fuhrer” into the remarks was plain antisemitism. But Trump calling Schumer Palestinian or a member of Hamas was not at all antisemitic, since the subject at hand was exactly the fact that Schumer cares nothing for Israel and promotes policy and talking points which side constantly with Hamas and the Palestinians. So contrary to the opinion of the leftist Trump hater who authored the article, the comments of Trump were not “somewhat similar” at all.
What a phoney fraud he is
Every statement he’s made has emboldened those Jew haters and he like soros are yelling they’re Jews and pointing out their own Jew hatred is anti semitism Chucks in trouble and he knows it the left wants him gone the center and right want him gone and Orthodox Jews want him home. He’s only choice is become a Jew again
Schumer is not Jewish nor a Palestinian he is an amaleki
Chuck Sumer has always been a class act
He is a true public servant
Him and Joe Biden
Moreno was a bit stupid in calling Schumer Fuhrer. But he was not wrong, just politically incorrect. Trump was quite accurate. He was not name calling. He was describing the loyalties that Schumer pushes in his official capacity. And they have been notoriously more supportive of Palestinian terrorists than of jews who are victims to terror. I am not alone in wishing that we could be freed of Schumer being in politics, and I don’t care how he goes. He has a record of being an absolute enemy of all causes that are important to American Jews. If there are any lying liberals who wish to challenge me, I invite you to spar on this.
Why such a shallow article. Mabe explain why he said it. I can tell you many reasons why he called him fuhrer. We’re there no jews that collaborated with the germans. When israel is feighting for survival, shumer sides with the anti Israel democrats. An yes the democrats are tge ones calling and even did so to stop sending weapons to Israel. Suded with hammas. Etc.
Schumer should retreat to his kitchen & Kascher it for פסח, & observe הלכות ערב פסח שחל בשבת, incase he doesn’t make it to 94 years old, and this would be his very last chance.
Maybe also observing יקנה”ז may help him realize how important even a routine שבת is, notwithstanding all the grandeur of סדר night
Why is there no comments on Sunday where’s the moderator why can’t you use some of the money from the eretz hakodesh ads to pay him to work on Sunday
Don’t you love it how self-hating Jews like Schumer love to play the Antisemitism card. This is the jerk who refused to pass the most recent anti-Antisemitism law, but is trying to push a book on the rise of Antisemitism…
