Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) confirmed on Tuesday that he has withdrawn his offer to discuss funding for the U.S.-Mexico border wall as part of a deal with President Trump. "We're going to have to start on a new basis and the wall offer is off the table," Schumer told reporters, saying that the offer was initially "part of a package." The reversal comes after Schumer said he offered to discuss the wall a key campaign pledge of Trump's during a White House meeting on Friday. "During the meeting, in exchange for strong [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)] protections, I reluctantly put the border wall on the table for the discussion. Even that was not enough to entice the president to finish the deal," Schumer said from the Senate floor early Saturday. But Schumer said that the president, while initially seeming interested, refused the agreement.

He said that to get the left idiots off his lawn.
Oh, yeah. And nuke the filibuster rule.
It was never offered.
Like it was ever really there. Does he think we’re stupid?
One account says that in exchange for legalization of 800,000 DACA illegal aliens yoofs, that Chuckie Schumer offered authorization to build XXX miles of the Trump Wall but refused to say it would be funded. IOW a bait and switch.
There never was an offer to pay.
There was an offer of Authorization of a few million. Authorization doesn’t mean funded. It’s a promise to fund in the future. It’s like ‘budgeting’ for a future payment, but not actually paying.
I bet he’s horrible at poker.
When McConnell gave Schumer Daca- to reopen the government by a free standing vote after February 8 thus removing all republican leverage for the wall— Schumer took his offer back. What do you expect?
What did Einstein say?-)
2 election cycles of Americans electing American Senators instead of Amnesty Senators for US to get control of the Senate.
We have 3 solidly on our side, Cotton, Grassley, Perdue.
Paul, Cruz, Lee maybe?
We need a LOT more.
Nuclear option. Cut social programs, increase defense, pay for wall, kill DACA.
+1
Fastest way to end the upcoming stalemate.
And HE called Trump negotiations ‘Jello’?....................
The “offer” was bogus.
Can’t wait for the next CR negotiation. Shut it down, Dems!
Chuck needs to have one of his aides read him “The Art of the Deal” before he does or says anything else. He’s not battling Rubio, McCain, and Graham any more and he is way out of his league.
So DACA is off the table too. Works for me.
It was never on the table, dick.
Love watching Schmucky stepping on his own d1ck...What a bufoon
Hey Chuck-U, keep DACA “off the table” until the 2020 election. American voters will re-examine your party’s attempt to burden us with lawbreaking criminals (70% over the age of 21) and unending tax payments to fund your illegal alien entitlement folly.
