Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer bizarrely attacked the Trump administration Wednesday over the successful release of three American prisoners held by North Korea; suggesting the hostages were used as bargaining chips.
Schumer offered his scathing critique just hours after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo left the Korean peninsula with the three prisoners by his side; saying No regime has the right to hold American citizens in captivity without cause, and under no circumstances should American citizens be viewed as bargaining chips.
If countries in the world think they can detain Americans and get something in return, well see many more hostages, he added.
The liberal legislator went on to say he was rooting for the Trump administrations upcoming negotiations with the communist regime but added that hostages shouldnt be a part of it.
I love it! Idiots like Schumer and Pelosi continue to shoot themselves in the foot (and other parts of their anatomy) and think they’re gaining ground with the American population...
If countries in the world think they can detain Americans and get something in return, well see many more hostages, he added.
Oh, sure, y'mean like when Obama did nothing about the Iranians' taking of our military people in an act of piracy? Upchuck's an a-hole! Thanks Signalman.
So $400,000,000 to Iran for us to release ISIS Generals was better?
Did he have an opinion of the American that died in a N. Korean prison under Obama?....And for shoplifting!
Like I said to in a post on an earlier article on the release of the hostages.
We know that at a minimum Kim got a public photo op shaking hands with the U.S. Secretary of State. It may not seem like a very big thing to the American public, but it is huge in North Korea and will be showcased greatly as propaganda to the sheeple of North Korea - “look at how great our leader is, how high officials of the U.S. had to come kowtow to him to get their spies back”. Yes, that was a big something, in North Korean terms that Kim got.
What else he got or was promised will take time to learn and it will only come after the summit negotiations are completed and any concessions we make are considered.
HL, your nicknames are hilarious!
Excellent. LOL!
Schmuckey believes in paying a hundred million dollars each for hostages using the obozo method.
Good analysis, Wuli.
Yo, Chuckster, go perform fellatio!
You may very well be right. Of course the NK people are being told a story. Kim might think this is like past good times, but I don’t think so. I hope not. Fooling Trump might not work out as well as it did for past administrations. But the guys got out, no ransom and no sanctions lifted (as far as we know).
Because NY would elect Joey Buttafuoco if his name had a "D" after it on the ballot.
Didn’t NObama set a bad precedent sending plane loads of money
to Iran for prisoner release?
These liberals wear me out.
Hey Smuck, Did youforgot that Obungo got Bergdahl released? If you forgot, resign, if you think I forgot about that, you need to have your head examined.
Wait a minute.....didnt we give up some high value detainees for the traitor Bowie Bergdahl. Was Schumer concerned about THAT bargaining chip?
What the hell is wrong with Charles Schumer, being not happy that 3 detainees were released and trying to gain political advantage using it? Is he the biggest goofball or what?
