Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) raised his hand to stop questions Tuesday when a Post reporter asked for his position on the Iran nuclear deal, the New York Post reports.
Approached in the basement of the Senate, New Yorks senior senator who is almost always available to the press refused to answer where he stands on the agreement.

He's hiding from liberal advocacy groups. He's voting against the Iran deal

Schumer is likely refusing to answer because the fate of the deal is uncertain.

He doesn't need to say a word.

On the edge of a crater formerly known as Tehran, rocking out with his cock out.

(68,868 posts)3. He's hiding from liberal advocacy groups. He's voting against the Iran deal
because he wants war with Iran, just like he wanted war with Iraq.
When it comes to foreign policy, Schumer is no different than Bill Kristol or Paul Wolfowitz.

(26,366 posts)4. Schumer is likely refusing to answer because the fate of the deal is uncertain.
And it isn't in his interest to take a public position yet.

the other is to Israel.
It is good news that he is not already out adding his voice, which is a strong one, to the defeat the deal chorus.

(3,431 posts)7. The problem with Schumer is that
as future leader of the Dems in the Senate he might
swing many votes. He knows where the progressive
group stands, and may just be hedging his bets.
