Horace Cooper Says Letting This Person Run The Senate Is ‘Last Example Of Going Completely And Totally Crazy’

Horace Cooper of Project 21 said Friday on Fox News that Democrats’ final “crazy” straw would be putting Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in place of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

In a new poll released by the left-leaning firm Data for Progress, 55% of likely Democratic voters said they would support Ocasio-Cortez in the 2028 New York Senate primary, while only 36% backed or leaned toward Schumer. On “Hannity,” while discussing the movement behind the Democrat representative, Cooper warned progressives in the party that they “shouldn’t go completely crazy.”

“Look, when you’re having a problem at your house because you don’t like what the electrician is doing, you don’t bring in an arsonist. I’m certainly no fan of Chuck Schumer, but the progressives should keep in mind that you shouldn’t go completely crazy,” Cooper said.

“Mark Halperin said a week before the November election that it was very likely, if trends demonstrated where they were headed, that we would see the kind of mental health issues that we’re observing,” Cooper added.

In March, Schumer came under fire from members of his own party after backing a GOP-led spending bill to prevent a government shutdown. As calls for the Senate Minority Leader to step down began circulating, Schumer told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he would stay where he was.
