Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made the mistake of uttering a 19 word sentence that hinted he’d be okay with funding President Donald Trump’s long-promised border wall — and it has liberal voters screaming mad.
Now, the mainstream media and liberal activists are demanding Schumer’s head on a platter.
It’s further proof of just how insane liberal voters have become.
Schumer told reporters Tuesday that Democrats would be willing to offer $1.6 billion in funding for border security, far below the $5 billion Trump has asked to build the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
“We are for strong border security. The $1.6 billion for border security negotiated by Democrats and Republicans is our position,” Schumer said flatly. He went on to say he wasn’t interested in negotiating publicly, and that Democrats would be offering no more than the $1.6 billion.
The news that Schumer is considering a compromise left liberal activists and mainstream media pundits screaming mad.
Far-left propaganda organization ThinkProgress wrote a piece slamming Schumer, and their headline demanded to know “What The F***” he was thinking.
Splinter, another leftist organization, titled their response, “More like Chuck SCREWYOUmer”
MSNBC’s Chris Hayes tweeted an angry attack on Schumer’s attempt at compromise —

A former aide on Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign, Charolette Clymer, said it was proof that Democrats are all sexist.
She claimed that House Minority Speaker Nancy Pelosi being challenged in her position as Democratic leader — but not Schumer — was “the essence of sexism in American politics.”
I repeat: Chuck Schumer not having a glove laid on him this month while Nancy Pelosi is weirdly being roasted in the press after a 39+ seat landslide Midterm victory really captures the essence of sexism in American politics.

The American Civil Liberties Union tweeted that there was no excuse for Schumer and Democrats to give a single dollar to fund border security.
The Huffington Post’s Ashley Feinberg responded tothe 19-word statement by saying she was dreaming of socialist Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez running a primary campaign against the longtime Democrat.

Liberals have become so unhinged, they’re attacking their own leadership.
Guess they’re tired of Trump winning?
