Schumer calls on McConnell to walk Trump back
By Jordain Carney - 12/12/18 11:06 AM EST

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday blasted President Trump saying he threw a “temper tantrum” in their dramatic televised White House meeting the day before and urging Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to walk him back.

“It is difficult, if nearly impossible, to negotiate with the president in front of the press who peddles such blatant and falsehoods. And because Leader [Nancy] Pelosi [D-Calif.] and I simply didn't go along with him, President Trump threw a temper tantrum and promised to shut the government unless he got what he wanted,” Schumer said from the Senate floor.

Schumer and the House Minority Leader battled angrily with Trump over the U.S.-Mexico border wall during the Oval Office meeting, during which the president said he would take the “mantle” for a partial government shutdown.

I didn't think Trump behaved badly during that meeting. Schumer and Pelosi, on the other hand, have been downright unstatesmanlike - vicious even - ever since they emerged from it. Wonder why?

Chuck is just mad because he soiled his trousers and couldn't look Trump in the eye when Trump called him out for being a yellow bellied sap sucker.
