Schumer tells Trump to stay out of Florida recount

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday said if President Trump wants an honest and fair election, he “will stop bullying, harassing and lying about the vote in Florida and let the election precede without the heavy hand of the president tipping the scales of justice.”

He urged Florida election officials to count every vote in the Florida Senate race currently undergoing a recount and predicted that Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) will be re-elected if they follow through.

“The hallmark of our democracy is simple, every vote must count. That’s what Democrats believe, that’s what we’re trying to get done,” he told reporters at a Capitol press conference, alongside Nelson.

“President Trump and Gov. Scott seem dead set against counting every vote. Why? Because they’re worried if every vote is counted, Bill Nelson will be re-elected as senator from the great state of Florida,” he said, referring to Nelson’s opponent, Rick Scott, the Republican sitting governor.

Schumer accused Trump and Scott of “attempting to bully the election officials in Florida out of doing their jobs in an attempt to win this election.”

2. GOP has no intention of allowing actual votes to be counted and actual winners to

be seated.

Not in a million years.

Buckle up.

Oh and when someone like Schumer says this it has WEIGHT as he is measured most of the time, this is REAL power.

3. I am pleased to see Chuck step forward

He has a bully pulpit, he should use it. Because he is not a frequent flame thrower, his words have more power when he actually says something like this.
