Gotta say it. Can't resist it.

Chuck, Trump wouldn't have even had to be part of it to get you boo-ed.

Many Americans would feel it their patriotic duty to Boo you as a validation of their Citizenship.

The reference to Sullivan Ballou in the context Schumer intended - at the inauguration of a man everyone considers anti washington - was a particularly obnoxious appropriation and mischaracterization of a poignant piece of history.

Schumer wasn't booed until began politicizing the inauguration by saying “we live in a challenging and tumultuous time.”  It was a direct slam at Trump and his supporters.

Continuing down the path of doom and gloom, Schumer finally got to this:  "Despite these challenges, I stand here today confident in this great country for one reason".  As if on cue, someone in the crowd shouted out "TRUMP!"

Because the reason everyone was there was to see Trump sworn in as President - not to hear what bad shape we are in because of the election results.

Schumer can pound sand.  He never should have been granted a microphone to begin with.
