Sen. Chuck Schumer said the firing of acting Attorney General Sally Yates was part of a 'Monday Night Massacre' enacted by President Trump. In an impromptu speech on the Senate floor Monday evening Schumer called Yates, who was fired by Trump, a "profile in courage."
SCHUMER: We've had a number, a large number of eloquent speeches about the president's executive order. And while they were going on, of course, we had a 'Monday Night Massacre.' Sally Yates, a person of great integrity, who follows the law, was fired by the president. She was fired because she would not enact, pursue the executive order on the belief that it was illegal, .......

Now Schumer personally went overboard, what's with ‘Monday Night Massacre’? WHO says such incendiary things if not trying to start riot? Are they (the you know whos) going to start the Reichstag fire?
Americans, and patriots, should be very concerned about the personal safety of president Trump. And probably his inner circle and advisors should have extra security, too.
Political theater.
This was not the “Saturday Night Massacre”.
This was Truman firing MacArthur.
I’m having a good day...
FUCS FUSY
Did Chuck shed another tear?
The Saturday Night Massacre was the term used by political commentators[1] to refer to U.S. President Richard Nixon's dismissal of independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox, and as a result the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus on October 20, 1973, during the Watergate scandal.
Fortunately the Democrat history file does not go back much beyond 1992.
I wish the people of NY would fire Schumer.
Yeah good luck with that..
More like a Profile in Stupidity and Treason. JMO.
More like a profile in how to get canned.....but I’m sure our lib friends will find a nice cushy spot for her in their ranks. I don’t know why President Trump didn’t just get rid of her immediately to begin with.
I get your point but this dumb broad is no MacArthur.

Elliot Richardson refused to follow an unlawful order. Sally Yates defied a lawful order.
There is no equivalency to consider.
But the reason I posted this thread is that I AM TRULY worried about the violent disclose in our national dialogs. Coming from the tendency from the Left, if their passion is left unchecked, we are entering a dark period.
Who believes Schumer’s fake tears?
What are we supposed to believe about ‘Chuckie’? That he cries over the slightest problem or that he uses fake tears to support poor acting skills?
Breaking as solom oath, and rebelling against the boss, does not spell “courage”, it spells “traitorous stupidity”.
A top team of lawyers who helped craft the EO say it IS legal, as does the law.
She’s toast, and there is not a thing Schumer can do about it, except bitch to the choir.
Not a profile in courage but a profile in dogma. She puts leftist dogma above the law and as an Attorney General, that is an firing offense.
Good work President Trump!
Totally!!
I haven’t agreed with the National Review for a while, but this was pretty good:

Hypocrite = DumocRAT.
Oh, I wouldn't compare Yates to MacArthur.
She was fired because Schumer and his minions are slow-walking Jeff Sessions through the confirmation process. That necessitated an Obama holdover being left in charge, and you see what her allegiance was. Very simple.
Actually I think this strategy could be an efficient one for Trump, especially over at DOS. As more of the much vaunted career civil servants, who are claimed to be a pure as the wind driven snow, reveal their true partisan nature, they can recognized and fired.
