GOP senator alleges Schumer behind 'hit job' report on former patients
Conservative principles face implementation challenges as policy meets political complexity.
There’s an old rule in medicine: first, do no harm. Roger Marshall lived by that rule for decades as an OB-GYN. Now Chuck Schumer’s political machine is trying to rewrite his record with a **Schumer-funded hit job** dressed up as journalism.

There’s an old rule in medicine: first, do no harm. Roger Marshall lived by that rule for decades as an OB-GYN. Now Chuck Schumer’s political machine is trying to rewrite his record with a Schumer-funded hit job dressed up as journalism. The New York Times ran with it, because of course it did.
The report drags up lawsuits against Marshall’s former practice. That’s fair game if it’s about public safety. But let’s be honest about what this is. This is opposition research, laundered through a newsroom, timed to hurt a sitting Republican senator. The accusers get front-page sympathy. The doctor gets trial by media. That’s not accountability. That’s weaponized malpractice.
Marshall’s real offense isn’t how he treated patients. It’s that he votes with President Trump and supports the America First agenda. Schumer can’t beat that argument on the merits, so he funds a smear instead. Every conservative doctor, veteran, and business owner should take note. If they’ll do this to Roger Marshall, they’ll do it to you.
The Times should be asking why a Senate leader is paying for stories about a political rival’s medical history. Instead they act as the delivery boy. Marshall says he welcomes the scrutiny. We do too. Just leave the checkbook out of the newsroom.
