Scott Galloway Offers AOC $100K to Primary Schumer

November 11, 202500:50
00:00:00
Just as I began hallucinating
00:00:03
that Senator Schumer had these two
00:00:05
spherical objects between his legs,
00:00:09
I am brought back to reality that we are
00:00:13
as Democrats
00:00:15
not worthy of representing people who
00:00:18
make sacrifices. Almost half of American
00:00:21
households
00:00:23
struggle with medical debt. And we told
00:00:25
them, "We're going to put a lot of
00:00:27
people through a lot of pain such that
00:00:28
we can prevent your insurance premiums
00:00:31
from doubling." And then we [ __ ]
00:00:33
caved. This was a huge failure on our
00:00:36
part. AOC, I will give you $100,000 in
00:00:40
the next 48 hours if you announce you're
00:00:43
primaring Schumer. Enough already.
