Chuck Schumer built his career telling black voters that the Democrat Party has their back.
Now a black Democrat Senate nominee is on the phone asking the DSCC for money.
And Chuck Schumer’s response to socialist Democrat Angie Nixon exposed the Democrat Party's actual position on black women.
The Democrat Party That Asks for Black Votes and Forgets Black Candidates
Angie Nixon is not a sympathetic figure for conservatives.
She is a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, endorsed by Bernie Sanders and AOC, and the only socialist to win a Democrat Senate primary anywhere in the country this cycle.
She beat the D.C. establishment's chosen candidate — Alex Vindman, the impeachment witness they bankrolled at a 15-to-1 money advantage — by 12 points.

Then she called Chuck Schumer.
His answer, by her own account: basically "we will see" — he was going to look into it.
That is the sound of a political party that has used black voters as an ATM for 60 years suddenly discovering that Florida is expensive.
Nixon knows exactly what is happening.
"Folks are a little gun-shy because, unfortunately, Vice President Harris lost as a black woman," she said, "and so people are being very hesitant in terms of funding black women, especially in the South."
And here is the part that should make every conservative smile: Kamala Harris said the exact same thing.
After losing the 2024 election, Harris went public and said the Democrat Party "took black women for granted" — that specific issues affecting black women were ignored throughout the campaign.
The backbone of the party.
Taken for granted by the party's own admission.
Schumer Has Eight Senate Targets. Florida Is Not One of Them.
This is where the Democrat Party's internal collapse gets entertaining.
Schumer is currently hunting eight GOP-held Senate seats — Alaska, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Iowa, Kansas, and Mississippi.
Florida is not on the list.

The DSCC opened a joint fundraising committee with Nixon's campaign — the kind of bureaucratic formality parties use to appear supportive while sending nothing.
Asked directly whether the national party is doing enough, Nixon said: "They could do a lot more."
A Democrat Senate nominee just publicly accused her own party leader of abandoning her — while she is still asking him for money.
That is someone who already knows the check is not coming.
The Party That Built Its Brand on Diversity Cannot Fund Its Black Women
There is a pattern here that predates this cycle.
In 233 years, exactly three black women have served in the United States Senate: Carol Moseley Braun in 1992, Kamala Harris in 2016, and Laphonza Butler, who was appointed and never won a vote.
Not one of them overlapped.
The party that lectures corporate America about diversity, demands equity in every institution, and turns out black women as its most reliable voting bloc has produced three black female senators in the history of the republic.
Now Schumer is "looking into it."
A Democrat aide pushed back on Nixon's complaint — pointing to the party's spending on Michigan progressive Abdul El-Sayed as proof ideology is not the obstacle.
Which means if it is not ideology and it is not race, the explanation is simple: Schumer has decided a black socialist from Jacksonville cannot win Florida, so she does not get the money.

Florida has not sent a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since Bill Nelson lost in 2018.
That math is probably right.
But the party that demands black voters show up every two years — and took credit for the Georgia Senate victories built on black turnout — is now telling its black woman nominee in Florida: we will see.
That is the Democrat Party's actual position on black women.
Not the speeches at the convention.
Not the bumper stickers.
The budget.
