Schumer to Trump: 'You're not getting your wall'
During a speech on the Senate floor Friday, minority leader Chuck Schumer said unequivocally that Senate Democrats would not support a spending bill that includes the $5 billion President Trump has demanded for the construction of a border wall.
After initially signaling his support for a two-week stopgap spending bill that provided just $1.6 billion in wall funding, Trump reversed himself Wednesday amid pushback from his base and resumed his threat to shutdown the government unless his funding demands are met.
In response to Trump’s reversal, the House on Thursday added more than $5 billion in border wall funding to a seven-week stopgap spending bill and returned it to the Senate, where Schumer vowed it will not pass due to unanimous opposition from his caucus.
“In a short time, the Senate will take part in a pointless exercise to demonstrate to our House colleagues and the president what everyone here already knows. There are not the votes for an expensive, taxpayer funded border wall. So, President Trump, you will not get your wall,” Schumer said. “Abandon your shutdown strategy. You’re not getting your wall today, next week, or on January 3 when Democrats take control of the House.”

hearing more from Senator Schumer - the Democratic Minority Leader in the Senate. Between him and soon-to-be Speaker Nancy Pelosi it is good to have a unified front to speak against the mis-management of IQ45 and the Republikkkan administration. They need to be demanding more and more air time to get the true message out there and smother the lies on top of lies that spew forth from IQ45.
Go DEMS!!!!!
