BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, smarting from the Democratic Party’s big November losses, is blaming the messengers. With Christmas days away, nearly every member of the Senate Democratic Media Center has been fired, a senior Democratic aide confirmed. Schumer swung the axe, according to Politico, which first obtained “goodbye” emails from staffers, including some with decades of experience. “I am very frustrated with our losses in the last election, and I am venting, which is therapeutic, by terminating a number of employees”, explained Schumer. “However, the people that were blindsided by my misplaced wrath, should take some comfort in knowing that they will have even more time to spend with their families for the rest of this holiday season, so maybe they can view this as a blessing is disguise”
