Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), appeared on MSNOW this week to gloat over the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against Trump on tariffs and had the nerve to accuse Trump of “berating Supreme Court justices.”
This, from the man who stood outside the court just a few years ago and threatened Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch that they would reap “the whirlwind” over Roe v. Wade.
I have combed through media reports on Schumer’s appearance, and it’s amazing how virtually no one is reporting what he said.
Take this report from The Hill, for instance:
Schumer hails Supreme Court tariff ruling as ‘a win for the wallets’ of AmericansSenate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Friday hailed the Supreme Court’s ruling that struck down a significant amount of President Trump’s tariffs as a victory for Americans and the U.S. economy.“This is a win for the wallets of every American consumer,” Schumer said in a statement. “Trump’s chaotic and illegal tariff tax made life more expensive and our economy more unstable. Families paid more. Small businesses and farmers got squeezed. Markets swung wildly.”“We’ve said from day one: a president cannot ignore Congress and unilaterally slap tariffs on Americans. That overreach failed,” he continued. “Now Trump should end this reckless trade war for good and finally give families and small businesses the relief they deserve.”The court’s 6-3 ruling represents a major blow to the administration’s economic policy and effectively wipes away one of Trump’s hallmark actions during his second term. The president has warned in recent months that striking them down would be a financial calamity for the U.S. given the tens of billions collected via these tariffs.
They left out the best part.
The only place I have been able to find the quote is on the MSNOW video page:
“He was like a 10-year-old, name calling, foot stomping, berating Supreme Court justices. He’s like a baby,” says Sen. Chuck Schumer on Trump’s response to the Supreme Court striking down his sweeping tariffs.
Western Lensman, a popular video clipper on Twitter/X, created a great side-by-side of Schumer’s comments:
Note how host Stephanie Ruhle didn’t push back on Schumer at all.
It must be nice to be a Democrat.
