Unfortunately for this pathetic hypocrite, the Internet doesn't forget.
Rapid Response 47 Reminds Dem Senator Voting No What He Said About Gov't Shutdowns in 2023

Senate Democrats, including Chris Murphy, Cory Booker and others took to social media today to announce that they would be voting "no" on the spending bill tomorrow, so a "Schumer shutdown" is looking increasingly likely.
Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) ~ Here's what a House Dem just texted me: "If we cave here, we might as well pack up and go home."
The Dems could save a lot of time by just packing up and going home now.
We'll see where this all ends up tomorrow because something could change.
JWF (@JammieWF) ~ They're holding a pair of deuces and talking like they have four aces. Nothing they say is credible.
The Dems will talk a tough game but will that hold? Stay tuned.
In the meantime, there's one more Senate Democrat who announced that he'll be essentially voting in favor of a government shutdown. Ruben Gallego posted this on X a little while ago:
Senator Ruben Gallego (@SenRubenGallego) ~ I’m voting NO on the Republican spending bill.
Yet another Senate Dem will vote for a shutdown, which makes it awkward for Gallego considering what Rapid Response 47 dug up from about a year and a half ago:
Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) ~ According to your own words, voting to shut down the government means denying food to thousands of kids in your state.
Senator Ruben Gallego (@SenRubenGallego) ~ Extremist Republicans are just a few days away from forcing a government shutdown.
This would be a disaster for Arizona families - potentially denying food to 110,886 AZ kids and babies.
We cannot let far-right Republicans harm our children and families.

Why is Sen. Gallego now going to support denying food to kids and babies in his state?
Apparently now he'd rather let radical Democrats harm children and families.

It's "D"ifferent this time.
