Chuck Schumer: Trump is ‘screwing' working families
2019-01-05
[Market Watch] Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says there’s one common goal that can unite the Democratic Party as the new session of Congress opens: pushing back against what he says is President Donald Trump’s mistreatment of American families.

’I believe that Donald Trump is hurting ‐ screwing ‐ working families.’
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer

The New York Democrat spoke with the New York Times’ "the Daily" to discuss the era of divided government, the partial shutdown and other issues, and told the Times that "strong medicine" is needed against Trump’s policies.

"That I think can unite our Democratic Party in a very, very strong way," he said.

Schumer’s interview came as the shutdown entered its 13th day, with a resolution nowhere in sight. It also came as House Democrats including Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York said they’d vote against a rules package for the new Congress, exposing a rift with Democratic leadership.

The rest are a "basket of deplorables."

#7  Does Senator Schumer actually know any working families?

If he does, would he have let his children play with their children?
