Chuck Schumer is coming under fire from President Obama’s former top political adviser, David Axelrod. The former advisor is using Twitter to question Schumer’s decision to oppose Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran.
“Facts are facts, and politics is politics. Schumer made a decision based on politics, not fact,” Axelrod wrote in a tweet.

The old political hand, who was an aide to the Clintons before working for Obama, is himself coming under fire.
“Axelrod impugns Schumer’s integrity. Accuses Senator of making major foreign policy decision ‘based on politics,'” writes Bill Kristol on Twitter.

Writer David B. Cohen is expressing a similar sentiment. “Impugning motives of those who disagree w/you is pure @davidaxelrod. US politics is much more toxic b/c of him.”
