Actor Rob Delaney told Sen. Chuck Schumer to retire after the Democrat Senate Minority Leader spoke out against political violence ahead of the November midterms.
On October 23, Schumer sent out a tweet calling acts of political violence “despicable.”
“Make no mistake,” the New York Senator tweeted on Tuesday. “Despicable acts of violence and harassment are being carried out by radicals across the political spectrum—not just by one side. Regardless of who is responsible, these acts are wrong and must be condemned by Democrats and Republicans alike. Period.”
Schumer noted acts of political violence on both sides in his tweet citing the destruction wrought at Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s offices in California and the “explosive device” reportedly left at the home of anti-American activist George Soros.
But the plea to civility did not sit well with Catastrophe star, Rob Delaney.
Rob Delaney was so incensed by the call to end political violence that he jumped to twitter to scream an expletive and demand that Schumer retire.
The Deadpool 2 actor noted in another tweet that he would help set up a primary challenger to rid the U.S. Senate of Chuck Schumer.
Delaney also exclaimed that Schumer “paved the way” for Donald Trump.
Indeed, this is the same Rob Delaney that compared First Lady Melania Trump to a Nazi.
