The White House on Tuesday shot back at the top congressional Democrats -- Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi -- for pulling out of White House meeting with President Trump, saying the president wants them to “put aside their pettiness” and “get to work.”
Schumer, the Senate minority leader, and Pelosi, the House minority leader, cancelled their meeting with Trump and top congressional Republicans after the president hinted that any attempt to reach a bipartisan deal to avoid a government shutdown next month would be thwarted by Democrats’ desire to include immigration reform and tax increases.
“It’s disappointing that Senator Schumer and Leader Pelosi are refusing to come to the table and discuss urgent issues,” said White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders. “The president’s invitation to the Democrat leaders still stands and he encourages them to put aside their pettiness, stop the political grandstanding, show up and get to work. These issues are too important.”

Well Pelosi is still busy protecting a rapist pedophile in Conyers. And Schumer is busy being an imbecile. The WH should have expected this.
LOL
Bipartisanship is king when Republicans hold power.
How did Obama put it?
“They elected us. Deal with it!” (Paraphrased)
There was no bipartisanship involved with Obamacare.
I have always thought that word should not be used in these headlines. Back out would have been way better.
Show up and get to work on what? A deal? Trump himself said that he didn't see a deal was possible. Why waste time?
How we wish President Trump could yell at them ‘You’re fired’.
Sadly, Ryno and McTurtle will screw this up anyhow.
Is this Free Republic.
What?
You know who is watching........better be good.
Chuck You Shumer!! and Stretch........
Trump is the first person to resist the Uniparty in 30 years and look how they attack him !
Pelosi, Schumer, Ryan, McConnell etc and the other traitors in their sect should be mocked, embarrassed and humiliated without fail. I loved Trump’s com,nets and his sense of humour.
Sadly, that’s my take on it.
I agree with you.
The President knows its not about compromising with them. It’s about them doing the nation’s business qua MAGA. The Calling out is great as it shows them up for the self-interested in the beltway politicians that they are.
The ‘Rats will own the shutdown.
The MAGA just gets more MAG!
These criminal loser DIMs can’t fool me. These two feckless buffoons pulled out of the meeting because the mere presence of President Trump would make them soil their Depends.
Yeah I agree with this.
Brilliant!
Hell, let them shut the government down. The longer, the better.
It’s Trump vs everyone else in Washington. Don’t know how he does it.
