BREAKING : Schumer Threatens to Shut Down Government Over Trump Wall

Anti-Trump Clown Chuck Schumer is threatening to try to shut down government over the border wall. His strategy would be to attempt to stop the passage of a “must-pass” government funding bill next month if the border wall is included in it.

“That will not stand,” Schumer, D-N.Y., warned Monday in a Senate floor speech. “It would be inappropriate in our judgement to insist on the inclusions of such funding in a must-pass appropriations bill that is needed by the Republican majority to avoid a government shutdown.”

A short-term funding measure expires in April.

Republicans, who control majorities in both chambers, have not indicated what they plan to include in a bill that would fund the government for the remainder of the fiscal year. Some options include supplemental funding for the military or additional money for building the border wall that President Trump promised during his campaign.

Schumer said if border wall funding is included, it would constitute a “poison pill” that Democrats would vote against.

“The president wants a wall, but he hasn’t answered so many questions about it,” Schumer said. “What about eminent domain? What’s the design of the wall? Where is it going to be located? How is it going to be paid for and how much is it going to cost?”
