Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, wants fellow Senate Democrats to create spectacles when they question the nominees of President-elect Donald Trump over the coming weeks, according to a new report.
The lawmaker said at a meeting on Wednesday afternoon that increasing the heat during the confirmation hearings would help to provoke negative press for the incoming Republican administration, according to a report from Axios.
“Republicans spent four years attacking the Democratic brand, and we need to use the hearings to begin returning the favor,” the lawmaker reportedly said.
Schumer also told members of the Democratic caucus on Tuesday that they should focus on MAGA and how the policies backed by the movement would affect the country when asking their questions.
