Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has been scrapping book tour events as progressive fumes on his maneuver to avoid government shutdown last week, sources told the Post.
Sources said Schumer was denounced “security concerns.”
Schumer, 74, had scheduled events in Baltimore, Washington, DC, Philadelphia and New York City to promote his upcoming Tome “American Anti-Semitism: Warnings” while the Senate was on break this week.

The disgruntled progressive activists were widely expected to crash his events in order to protest his decision to vote to block the GOP bill to maintain government lighting.

Many Democrats in Congress saw last week's fight for government shutdown as a rare leverage to elicit concessions from Republicans on President Trump's actions, including federal innovation.
All but one House Democrat voted against the Republican-drafted suspension measures to fund the government until September. Given the Senate filibuster, which needs to overcome the 60-vote threshold, Democrats had the opportunity to block the bill in the upper room.
But with his two and a half years of Senate career and several government shutdowns in the House of Representatives in nearly 20 years, Schumer felt Democrats weren't well placed to win that fight. Additionally, he was worried about the impact of a partial shutdown.
“With the shutdown, Donald Trump will give the keys of cities, states and countries,” Schumer warned before joining nine other Senate DEMs on the ballot to clear the procedural hurdles of the GOP bill.
Schumer was opposed to the GOP bill, but he argued that if the government was partially shut down, Trump would have too much power to cut the federal bureaucracy deeper.

“It's been a long time,” Schumer told the New York Times about how Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) might challenge him in the Democratic primary.

Last week he also chanted the sea of protesters who chanted Schumer outside his house.
Democrats have publicly tore his decision to help avoid partial closures, but so far the elected Senate DEM has not publicly called for him to abandon him from his halt of leadership.
“If we continue to observe norms, this democracy could disappear if we continue to engage in business as usual. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told NBC's “Meet the Press Sunday” that he still supports Schumer as a leader.
His second-ranked Senate minority Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) also supported the move, but Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives reported a light emptying against Schumer's decision.
In a spectacular moment from a fellow Brooklyn native, House Minority Leader Hakem Jeffries (D-NY) refused to say whether he was confident in his Senate counterpart or should he trade Schumer when asked last Friday.
“Next question,” Jeffries said at a press conference that urged Schumer's future as Senate DEMS leader.
Other groups other than Progressive are planning a protest against Schumer during his book tour. A group of Jewish activists planned a protest on the Upper East Side on Tuesday, fighting back against him for failing to pass the anti-Semitic Enlightenment Act.
Schumer was split last year with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).
His book is intended to be a history-based “warning” about the consequences of “unconfirming” “the world's oldest hatred.”
