Former Republican Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, amid his latest bid to run for Senate in New Hampshire, laid into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in a speech flagged by American Bridge Senate research director Danny Abbas in a post on X.

“His leadership is a mirage, or lack there of,” said Brown, who previously launched an unsuccessful bid for Senate in New Hampshire in 2014 and served as President Donald Trump’s ambassador to New Zealand in his first term. “He won’t take a stand on anything. And all he does is kind of shake his fist and complain, complain, complain. He’s worried about AOC stealing his job. That’s what he’s doing.”

“And when he can’t even stand up for his country, his family’s country of origin, Israel, and a lot of things that they’re doing, you know he’s lost his fastball,” Brown added.

“Yikes. Scott Brown goes full anti-semite and falsely says Chuck Schumer’s family’s country of origin is Israel and that he won’t ‘stand up for’ them,” Abbas wrote.

Schumer was born in Brooklyn, and his ancestors came from Galicia, in what is now Western Ukraine.

New Hampshire faces an open Senate contest in 2026 with the retirement of incumbent Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. Democrats are likely to run current Rep. Chris Pappas as their nominee.
