Senators will no doubt yield this one back without objection.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appeared to break wind on the floor of the chamber this week, even suppressing a light chuckle after the now-viral delivery.

The 75-year-old was criticizing President Trump and the war in Iran when he seemed to have lost a war of his own that was brewing in his trousers, letting loose an audible fart that went out live on C-SPAN airwaves Tuesday.

“Now on Iran and the NDAA,” Schumer said before seemingly cutting the cheese in a viral clip first isolated and shared by The Blaze.

“When all the Trump administration can say about his disastrous war with Iran is that Vietnam was worse. A point Trump made yesterday, he reveals the scale of his failure. This is what Donald Trump said. The only thing he can say is Vietnam was worse. Oh my God! A war that killed close to 50,000 Americans, a war that lasted almost a decade, a war that ripped America apart.”

Ripped indeed.

The clip was shared widely online, including by RNC Research, the Republican National Committee’s official X account, and conservative commentator Mark Kaye, who suggested the episode made a strong case for imposing term limits on lawmakers.

At least it wasn’t a shart.

[KevinB]

At least he didn't sh*t himself like Nadler. Nadler gambles and loses

[plain talk]

Probably the only real and honest expression he has ever uttered in the Senate.

[chickenlips]

It couldn’t have been that huge or he would have completely deflated.

Ancient wisdom:

politicians are excreted,

Chuckie preparing to give birth to his successor.

Letting off hot air.

No, passing gas is best done immediately-facing a spouse.

“Gotta choose when it’s right or not. If you’re wrong you won’t get another shot at it.” Unfortunately, I can attest to that.

[Equine1952]

Very few of us, I’m not one can not attest to that.

[PGR88]

Naw. That’s just him venting his beliefs

[Mr. Mojo]

Appears? He ripped one for sure. And tried to stifle a chuckle afterwards. Best thing he’s ever done in Senate

[Bonemaker]

Schumer IS a huge fart.

Meh. I’m a little younger than Schmuckie and I am a methane machine. It happens.

They talk out of it all the time.
