Actor Ethan Embry used the left-leaning social media platform BlueSky on Friday to launch a public broadside against Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and to demand his ouster from party leadership.
According to Breitbart, Embry framed Schumer as a political liability for Democrats, arguing that the partys prospects in the upper chamber hinge on sidelining the longtime New York senator. Posting early Friday morning, he declared, Dems only chance of taking the senate relies on the removal of Schumer. The message underscored a growing rift on the left, where activists increasingly blame establishment Democrats for repeated failures to counter Republican messaging and policy strength.
Embry later expanded his critique to law-enforcement policy, accusing Republicans of stonewalling basic constitutional safeguards while Democrats fail to challenge them effectively in the public arena. In a subsequent post, he wrote, Republicans refuse to implement simple constitutional requirements for law enforcement, and Dems are letting them control the public narrative, adding, We cant talk about the broken system without facing the severe flaws of our own leadership. His comments reflect a familiar progressive complaint that Democrat leaders are too timid to confront the GOP, even as they hold significant institutional power.
When a left-wing supporter claimed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is broadly unpopular, Embry pushed back, conceding that such a view is largely confined to liberal circles. Unfortunately thats not the public narrative as a whole. Thats the one we are exposed to, but the dominant narrative being pushed and received and heard is that Dems refuse to fund ICE. The reasons are widespread dependent on severity of ideology, but this is not hitting the GOP, he replied. His remarks inadvertently acknowledge what conservatives have long argued: that the broader electorate remains far more supportive of border enforcement and ICE than progressive activists care to admit.
Embry has previously warned his followers not to underestimate support for President Donald Trump, reminding them last June that tens of millions backed the Republican leader at the ballot box. 78,000,000 fucking idiots in America brought us here, Embry exclaimed, referring to President Donald Trumps landslide victory in the 2024 election.
Even as he continues to attack Trump and his immigration agenda, Embrys own posts reveal a reality many on the left prefer to ignore: millions of Americans strongly support robust immigration enforcement, ICE, and the America First policies that helped propel Trump to victory.
