Schumer: Trump's 'temper tantrum' over wall funding is leading to shutdown
WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Sunday said President Donald Trump is preventing a deal to avert a partial government shutdown because of a "temper tantrum" over his demand for more funding to build a border wall.
Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press" just five days before funding deadline to keep several key federal agencies open, the New York Democrat said that he and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., are standing firm in their offers to Trump and that it's up to him to come to the table.
"We Democrats, Leader Pelosi and I, offered the president two options as to how to avoid the shutdown," he said.
"We should not let a temper-tantrum, threats, push us in the direction of doing something, even our Republicans colleagues, know is wrong."
