Schumer: Offer on border wall is 'off the table'

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) confirmed on Tuesday that he has withdrawn his offer to discuss funding for the U.S.-Mexico border wall as part of a deal with President Trump.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.

Chuckie, that works both ways: the offer on DACA is off the table too, ya moron!

Schumer has fallen off The Table and can’t get back up.

[dp0622]

He ####ed up cause he’s gonna have to put it back on the table and he’ll look like a fool.

He got the jitters from the hard left protests in front of his office.

He’s gonna regret it.

If it comes to the promised straight-up DACA vote, I think we could be in real trouble on it.

[rayincolorado]

what needs to be ‘off the table” and “out of washington” Chuckie, is you!

[fella]

It never was on the table.

[\/\/ayne]

Are enough Senators retiring for a dream scenario of losing enough RINOs and Democrats to gain real control of the Senate?

[dennisw]

The DACA maniacs are after Chuckie so he has to say something. ....GROVEL Chuckie GROVEL!

[Jim Robinson]

And now your democrat party will lose a bunch more seats in November. We’ll build the wall without you globalist America-hating traitors.

Build the wall. enforce the law, deport them all!!

So Schumer learned nothing from the first loss to Trump over the budget CR. Now he’s going to double down on the same tactics.

[robroys woman]

I think he has “minority leader” mixed up with “majority leader”.

Then again, I’m not that big on the border wall anyway. It would be nice, but so would enforcement of existing laws and borders.

Where have I heard Trump’s response before.

Oh yeah, “you’re so tough Jeb, so tough”

[bagster]

Even the table hates Chuck Schumer.
