Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Sunday called on President Donald Trump to continue working with Congress on gun control measures despite Democrats' official impeachment inquiry over a call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Specifically, Schumer wants Trump to consider backing universal background checks, a bill known as HR 8 that passed in the House earlier this year.
“Amidst the impeachment inquiry the gears of government can still move. Anyone who suggests otherwise is advancing a false narrative,” Schumer said at his Manhattan office on Sunday, the New York Post reported. “In fact, the best example of governing for this president … would be to pass the universal background bill, which has been sitting on the door step of the Senate for well over 200 days.”
Schumer's call comes after Trump met with National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre last week.
“President Trump must do whatever it takes to resist the clouded comfort he craves from the likes of Wayne LaPierre and the NRA, because it will lead to inaction on one of the single biggest issues Americans want addressed: universal gun background checks,” Schumer said in a statement. “I challenge President Trump today to govern. Allowing the NRA or other nefarious interests to call the shots amid this impeachment inquiry will only backfire on this White House, and the American people will be worse off for it.

When your government says you don’t need a gun, you need a gun.
“We’re gonna impeach your ass. But help us pass gun control first.”
There was also a break in on Dobbs that Pelosi wants to work with Trump on the trade deal AND drug prices GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!!! Lou broke into his producer telling him this news!!!
With correspondingly more ammunition.
Exactly, Schumer is losing his marbles just as Pelosi is.
Of course he does.
If impeachment doesn’t take down Trump, gun control might.
Trump: I am not working with Congress on anything and from this day forward will VETO all Legislation that does not a 2/3rds veto proof majority in both houses. FU
They will try to bribe Trump with control to drop fakepeachment.
Tell them to stuff it sideways.
an attempt to counter the “do-nothing but impeachment” narrative
BUMP!
I wonder if these delusional leftists ever experience a single moment of clarity when this thought crosses (what passes for) their mind: “OMG, saying this makes me sound soooo stupid. This is just dumb!”. Luckily for them, the people they’re dishing this idiocy to are even stupider and more delusional than they are.
Great strategy
He’s a leftist. He’s not delusional. Read ‘Rules For Radicals’. I’m sure he did.
Hey Schumer, we need the Second Amendment because of fascist $hitheads like YOU!
Take your “gun control” and stick it where the sun don’t shine!
It’s a trap, when POTUS doesn’t accept Chuckie and Nanzi ‘s offer they will say that they tried and that he is the reason that nothing can get done.
Maybe he is trying to make a backroom deal. Pelosi drops impeachment inquiry for Trump’s support of gun control.
You think? I think not. I think Trump is going to fight them all the way to the very end. The more that stand up with him, that keep him in their prayers, the stronger he’ll get and fight.
