Huge 'What The F--- Chuck' Rally Planned At Sen. Schumer's Park Slope Home (UPDATES)

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — Thousands of New Yorkers, unsatisfied with what they see as Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer's weak, waffling performance so far as their captain in the Washington, D.C. battle of ideals against President Donald Trump and his cronies, plan to march from Grand Army Plaza to Schumer's luxury apartment building at 9 Prospect Park West Tuesday evening and ask the senator: "What the f---, Chuck?!"

More than 4,000 people were signed up to attend the 6 p.m. rally as of Tuesday afternoon. Another 11,000 or so said they were "interested."

"This is going to be a long fight, a tough fight, and [Schumer] can't revert to deal-making mode" with Trump, protest organizer and Prospect Heights mom Elizabeth Zeldin, 37, told Patch. "He needs to tough it out."

The group "Resist Trump New York" — a month-old, "loosely formed group of people" led by Zeldin and a friend — originally planned the rally after Schumer voted "Yes" on a handful of Trump's Cabinet picks last week.

However, Schumer announced Monday that he would vote "No" on Trump's remaining eight picks. (He even personally posted to the "What The F--- Chuck" Facebook event page to let protesters know, according to Zeldin — a move she said showed the senator was "listening to us.")

"We are heartened but not mollified" by Schumer's apparent change of heart, protest organizers wrote on Facebook. "We are coming out on Tuesday with boxing gloves, barbells, and a demand that Schumer strengthen his resistance and fight fight fight the horrible policies coming out of the Trump administration."

Ever since Schumer was named Democratic minority leader in the Senate, his high-end Park Slope apartment building on a leafy residential street up near Grand Army Plaza has become the go-to locale for appealing to the senator — as opposed to, say, his Midtown office building. (No word yet on how his millionaire neighbors feel about this development.)

So far this January, at least three rallies urging Schumer to push harder against Trump have been held by different groups outside the senator's home.

The repeated rallies have "showed Schumer that it's not just a small group of people who are concerned," Zeldin said.

"Before January, he was really in his former deal-making mode, saying he might work with Trump on infrastructure and hanging out with Jeff Sessions at the gym," the protest organizer said. But since then, she said, "he apparently had a change of heart and decided he was really going to go firm."

Zeldin said it's crucial to show Schumer he can't let up the fight.

"There's so much he needs to be fighting on right now — Steve Bannon, the Supreme Court," she said. "He needs to keep going, over and over again."
