Schumer statement in response to #TrumpShutdown speech

Chuck Schumer

@SenSchumer



With his statement on the #TrumpShutdown, it’s clear President @realDonaldTrump realizes that by closing the government and hurting so many American workers and their families, he has put himself and the country in an untenable position.

newly united Democratic caucus that we have in Congress. I think we have a good team on our side, finally...
And I'm going to place a lot of blame on Neutron Nancy for wrangling this crowd into that team!

The orange terrorist and his dog Mitch need to pay U.S. workers instead of enriching Deripaska and Putin.

The Dems shouldn't even entertain the mere thought of negotiating with the Trump Party until their leader re-opens the government he's held hostage for almost 30 days now.

Like Sen Schumer pointed out: Trump was the one who single-handedly ended DACA and TPS protections, and now has shut down the government.

Put things back the way you found them Mr.Trump and then we can talk about this building of a wall, barrier or whatever that nobody wants. Be a man for a change and stand up to Ann and Rush.

... everyone's stress and fatigue.

I can't imagine the fortitude it takes to maintain decorum and professionalism when dealing with such extraordinary boorish and vile behavior as The Groper and minions exhibit.

These are such strange, frustrating, and Sad times.
