Sens. Tom Cotton and Chuck Schumer reportedly got into an angry confrontation on the Senate floor Friday over Senate Democrats delaying the confirmation of Rep. Mike Pompeo for CIA director, The Weekly Standard reports.
Cotton was reportedly irate with Schumer’s delay of the confirmation vote and loudly accosted him on the Senate floor. Schumer retorted that the Senate had never confirmed a CIA director on Inauguration Day, adding that Senate Republicans also did not do so for former President Barack Obama. He continued that Cotton would have known this precedent if he had been in the Senate eight years previously.
“Eight years ago, I was getting my ass shot at in Afghanistan,” Cotton reportedly shot back. He continued, “So don’t talk to me about where I was 8 years ago.” Cotton served two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan in the U.S. Army as a member of the 101st Airborne Division.
The Trump administration is similarly irate with Senate Democrats over the Pompeo machinations.

What a great reply!
PING!
This is how Schumer needs to be treated.....followed by a swift kick in the ass!!
That’s gonna leave a mark
Schumer is obnoxious beyond description and represents exactly what’s wrong with American politics
One selfish, unpatriotic SOB
Schumer proving why he is ever so deserving of the moniker Chuckie “Putz” Schumer.
I wish Cotton had been waiting in the cloakroom for this weasle when he came off the floor.
Cotton: Here’s a scalding hot cup of STFU, chuckie! Drink up!
LOL

Quite frankly I don’t see how Trump can allow any disbursements of any kind by any agency until he has a cabinet secretary confirmed who can oversee the agencies disbursements. It just would not be prudent.
Better than “I served with JFK, and you’re no JFK”.
At this rate, future kids will be confused on history exams: “Hmm, was it the caning of Charles Sumner or Charles Schumer?”
Open mouth, insert foot.
Schumer is so typical of Democrats when unscripted.
Chuckie is a puke and he just proved it again on the floor of the Senate.
Since Schumer has no sense of shame it will make no difference.
I was thinking the same thing.
Reminds me of the classroom scene in “Back to School” with Rodney Dangerfield and Sam Kinison:

Schumer’s a hemorrhoid on the ass of the Senate.
