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.

good one !
Come on people! This is getting like Gutfeld.
I think a lot of these folks are way past their prime.
They become an institution, but some of them have outlived their actual practical useful life and this even applies to the POTUS (not talking about Trump).
I do not think Biden was running the country towards his end. Truth is, I think Ronald Reagan was awesome, but in his second term and aging with Alzheimer’s, after struck in the lung by a gunman, he became someone ineffective.
The problem is, you cannot have any sort of testing because this would become a political spectacle and threaten the democratic process.
It is up to the electorate and they are often absent / uninterested or mislead with these candidates intentionally withholding the true state of their health which frankly is something the public deserves to know. They are asking for the “public’s trust,” holding public office (low degree of privacy) and this could affect their decision making and availability. Privacy goes out the window - the public should have a RIGHT to know where their money is coming from, what their state of health is, what their criminal record looks like.
Can an airline pilot say “sorry, no medical testing, my privacy?”
What about an astronaut?
How about a specialist (E4) in the Army with a clearance, does he have a right to hide his medical, drug use, criminal, financial information?
The fact it seemed a dry gesture. I’m 74 and passing gas is best done, if necessary, on a toilet. Just saying.
Probably caused by consuming those undercooked cheeseburgers featured in that famous photo.
Yes; it usually comes out of his mouth...
Passing gas, or flatulence, is a natural bodily function that occurs as your digestive system processes food. On average, people release gas about 14 to 25 times daily,
Can one really be on the toilet that many times?
Gotta choose when it’s right or not. If you’re wrong you won’t get another shot at it.

It’s time to consider either immediate retirement or an abrupt career change, when the only way you are Breaking News is by Breaking Wind.
Really? What are we 12 years old now?
Mmmmm...I guess Democrat males are a bit gassy.
I’m surprised that politicians don’t wear a microphone on their arse. They talk out of it all the time.

Rule #1 as you get older.....Never trust a fart.
A Jew having meat and dairy at the same meal. 🫤
He was just sending out marching orders.
Chuck “Le Petomane” Schumer.
It's a prop, that's the joke. He put cheese slices on raw meat. But he is probably also as far from a practicing Jews as one can get.
