Sen. Chuck Schumer, leader of the minority Democrats, told Yahoo Global Anchor Katie Couric in an exclusive interview Wednesday that he believes his Republican colleagues are concerned but “afraid” to speak out against President Trump. Schumer also discussed his meeting with Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, his reaction to the removal of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., from the House floor, and why he thinks top Trump adviser Steve Bannon should leave the White House.

Republicans aren’t “afraid,” it’s just there is no reason why they would right now.

Unless they’re worthless RINOs such as McCain and Graham.

Exactly. There have been more republicans criticizing Trump in 3 weeks than there were demonrats criticizing Obama in 8 years.

“How often did the Democrats speak out against Obama?”

Wow. Terrific point! Obama’s armor was his blackness. That’s not a criticism of blacks and actually it’s not a criticism of Obama.

The election I think is over. The people have spoken, let;s get on with the agenda of legislative process. This is NOT the rule of the street paid rent a gang. It is the voice of the elected officials in decency and order. Proceed.

I saw that, too. If she had been on the floor of the House, the Sargeant-at-Arms would be in his rights to brain her with the Mace.

Harry Truman is said to have described a prominent Pubbie with “the son-of-a-bitch is no good.” What the Republicans are afraid of is saying the same of the oh-so-deserving Schumer.

No, we've been afraid of Democrat IRS oppression. I know President Trump has a lot on his plate but I have faith he will clean out the IRS. And when he does, free speech will gain a giant victory in America.
