Schumer: 'Temper tantrum' won't give GOP border wall
By Jordain Carney - 12/20/18 12:24 PM EST
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned President Trump and House conservatives that the only option to prevent a partial shutdown is a seven-week stopgap bill, adding that they shouldn't reject it because of a "temper tantrum" on the border wall.
"With less than two days to go until the appropriations lapse, if we are to avoid a shutdown the House must pass this continuing resolution and President Trump must sign it," Schumer said from the Senate floor on Thursday.
Schumer argued that if Trump rejects the stopgap measure, it would be "indisputable" that he and Republicans would be blamed for a partial government shutdown over the Christmas holidays.
"Vetoing the last train out of the station, a CR, would be a doubling down on his responsibility for a Christmas shutdown and every single American would know it," Schumer said.
