So, Senator Schumer, what do you do about a president whose "priorities are un-American?"

Chuck Schumer
@SenSchumer
When President

@realDonaldTrump spends more time and energy denouncing Rep. Elijah Cummings and Baltimore than he does denouncing right-wing extremists who often traffic in hate and white nationalism, it shows his priorities are un-American and way off balance.

12. You know what I want? I want Schumer and every Dem to demand rump's resignation.

And I want them to start impeachment proceedings. And I want them to turn their backs on Trump whenever they are in his presence.

That's what I want.

Edit: And one more thing. I want the Dems to produce a video of clips of dump saying all the racist things he has said, with dates and locations of those comments, and juxtapose those comments with all the violence that has resulted. I want them to buy time on networks, youtube, twitter, etc., and play this video a million times. I want dump smeared with the truth from here to Jupiter.

There will always be people who need scapegoats when they're scared or anxious, so no action or words on the part of the scapegoat will ever be 'right."

Criticizing someone for "not doing something/doing it WRONG!!" is always easier that articulating what they actually could have done.
