Chuck Schumer really thought he had something with this one, didn’t he? The Senate Minority Leader strutted onto Twitter/X this week, announcing a brand-new whistleblower portal designed to expose “corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety.” Sounds noble, right? Well, not so fast—because, as usual, when Democrats talk about “corruption,” they don’t mean the bureaucratic disaster zones like USAID and FEMA that are bleeding taxpayer dollars. No, no—what they mean is anything that gets in the way of their power.

Schumer’s grand unveiling wasn’t exactly met with the applause he was expecting. Instead, conservatives immediately did what conservatives do best: they turned the whole thing into a glorious backfire. If Schumer was hoping to root out so-called “corruption,” the American people were more than happy to oblige—by flooding the portal with reports about, well, Democrats.

One user suggested reporting Rep. Maxine Waters for inciting violence against political opponents. Fair enough. After all, this is the same woman who urged mobs to confront Trump officials in public and make them feel unwelcome. Seems like that might qualify as a “threat to public safety,” no?
Then there was Senator Ted Cruz, never one to miss an opportunity to call out the hypocrisy. He jumped in with his own contribution: “Great! I wanna report: [Insert Entire Democratic Party Here].” Hard to argue with that logic, considering Democrats have spent the last four years weaponizing the federal government against their political enemies. IRS targeting? FBI raids? Censorship collusion with Big Tech? Yep, all of the above.
But let’s talk about real threats to public safety, shall we? Back in 2020, Schumer stood on the steps of the Supreme Court and directly threatened Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, warning that they would “pay the price” if they dared to rule against the left’s pro-abortion agenda. This wasn’t some off-the-cuff remark—it was a full-on public intimidation stunt, complete with the usual leftist mob energy. Fast forward a couple of years, and what do we get? A man showing up at Kavanaugh’s house, armed and ready to assassinate him. But sure, tell us again how it’s conservatives who are the real threats here.
What makes this even more laughable is that Schumer’s “whistleblower” stunt comes on the heels of the Department of Government Oversight and Ethics (DOGE) launching investigations into federal agencies like USAID and FEMA. You know, the same USAID that has been caught funneling millions into shady international projects with zero oversight. Or FEMA, the agency that has somehow managed to botch nearly every major disaster response in recent history. But instead of acknowledging the real fraud and abuse happening under his own party’s watch, Schumer wants people to believe the real danger is—wait for it—Trump supporters.
And let’s not forget the media’s role in all of this. The second any Republican dares to even suggest investigating a Democrat, the left starts shrieking about the “weaponization” of government. But when the Biden administration uses the DOJ, FBI, and even the IRS to go after conservatives? Silence. Apparently, it’s only a scandal when it’s the other way around.
Look, Turley’s right about one thing: nothing is going to come of this so-called investigation into Schumer’s past threats. The left has mastered the art of skating by with zero consequences, no matter how blatant their actions are. But that doesn’t mean conservatives shouldn’t call them out at every opportunity. If Schumer wants to play this game, then fine—let’s play. But don’t be surprised when the biggest names getting reported on his little portal belong to his own party.
