Schumer Says He Was 'Appalled' By Trump's Letter
Schumer Says He Was 'Appalled' By Trump's Letter
townhall.com
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he was âappalledâ by President Trumpâs scathing letter, which accused him of being a âbadâ senator and open to challenge from the progressive wing of his party.
The letter was sent after the New York Democrat wrote the White House earlier Thursday over the federal governmentâs response to the coronavirus crisis.
âIâm just appalled,â Schumer said on MSNBC. âI say to the president, âJust stop the pettiness. People are dying. And so, President Trump, we need leadership, we need to get the job done. Stop the pettiness. Letâs get it done. Letâs roll up our sleeves. I sent the letter with the best of intentions, trying to improve a very bad situation.â
The minority leader told host Chris Hayes he wrote to Trump to encourage him to use the Defense Production Act.
âSo this morning I sent the president a letter and said, âWhy donât you invoke the Defense Production Act and put in place a military person?â Schumer explained. âSomebody who knows command and control, someone who knows logistics, someone who knows quarter-mastering -- to not only commandeer factories and supply chains to make the stuff that we need, desperately need, but also to distribute it in the places that are most needed.â
The result to that suggestion was the letter he received from Trump, in which the president reminded Schumer that the DPA âhas been consistently usedâ but that many companies have stepped up voluntarily.
He also criticized the Democrat to choosing âto ignoreâ the fact that a âsenior military officerâ was already in charge of buying and distributing medical suppliesâRear Adm. John Polowczyk.

Trump said if less time was spent on the âimpeachment hoaxâ and more on helping New Yorkers, then perhaps he wouldnât âhave been so completely unprepared for the âinvisible enemy.ââ
While the president said he has known Schumer âfor many years,â it wasnât until becoming president that he became aware of âhow bad a Senator you are for the state of New York.â
Comment:
Well, we are all âAppalledâ by Schumerâs (and his fellow PMS/DSA Democratsâ behavior). Sometimes the truth hurts. Huh, Chuck?
For more than three years Schumer and his co-conspirators have done whatever they could to derail Trump and this administration. Now suddenly he's "Appalled" because President Trump has return the ire Schumer deserves.
If I had sent that letter I would have been more succinct and told Chuckie to STFU.
There's no secret that Chuckie was one of the perpetrators of the failed attempts to impeach Trump and impede every move to the invasion of the illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America.
Chuckie needs to be at the least censured for his attacks and threats against Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. When this pandemic is overcome, I hope those in the Senate remember to do so.
This is what makes this President GREAT. The losers of the PMS/DSA Left have never been counter punched, over and over and at this point, the three knockdown rule should've been utilized.
