Mickelson shared Schumer&#8217;s comments on social media, where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elon-musk-calls-out-corporate-journos-over-coverage-of-his-twitter-files\/\" title=\"Elon Musk Calls out Corporate Journalists Over His Coverage \u201cTwitter Files\u201d\">senator dismissed<\/a> the legislation as \u201cdead on arrival\u201d and compared it to Jim Crow laws. Mickelson argued that Schumer&#8217;s opposition undermines American values and enables voter fraud by allowing non-citizens to vote. He emphasized that Schumer is failing to represent american citizens&#8217; interests. Mickelson&#8217;s strong condemnation reflects a broader dissatisfaction among many Americans with Democratic leadership, evidenced by <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">recent low approval ratings<\/a> for Schumer.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Legendary PGA Golfer Phil Mickelson unleashed on Chuck Schumer, calling the New York Democratic senator a &ldquo;traitor&rdquo; to the United States of America.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Mickelson reposted footage of Schumer speaking about his opposition to Republicans&rsquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/118th-congress\/house-bill\/8281\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAVE Act<\/a>, a bill that would require proof of citizenship to vote, to the social media platform X.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer smugly addressed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/republicans-democrats-coming-together-end-highly-inconvenient-american-convention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republicans<\/a> in Congress, stating, &ldquo;The SAVE Act is dead on arrival.&rdquo; He also assured the Senate that Democrats would not be moving forward a bill that he considered &ldquo;very reminiscent of Jim Crow.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Schumer believes Republicans &ldquo;want to have Jim Crow spread from one end of this country to the other.&rdquo; Again, this is a bill that requires proof of citizenship in elections.
