Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday said calls for opponents of the Trump administration to publicly harass Cabinet members are “not American,” arguing Democrats should focus their energy on winning elections.
“I strongly disagree with those who advocate harassing folks if they don't agree with you. ... No one should call for the harassment of political opponents. That's not right. That's not American,” Schumer said from the Senate floor.
Schumer added that he understands the “frustrations” some members of his party feel when Trump “complains about bullying [and] harassment” even though the president uses it “as a regular tool almost every day.”
“But the president’s tactics and behavior should never be emulated. It should be repudiated by organized, well-informed and passionate advocacy. As Michelle Obama, a person who represents the same kind of fineness that we’ve always had in America ... said, ‘When they go low, we go high,’” Schumer said.

Trump does not organize riots as obama and the democrat party has done.
“”When you bring a knife...we bring a gun...!!!!
Who said that?””
Are you serious with these questions? I like games so I’ll play.
Other than Sean Connery in “The Untouchables” with Kevin Costner? That would be that dorky guy who claimed to be our president for a number of years but remember - HE STOLE THE LINE!
Was about to compliment Schumer, but then I read other posts prior to jumping in.
Does anyone remember the non-apology apologies by Bill Clinton that the press swore were apologies?
Sounds like that’s what we have here.
Democrats don’t do apologies. They’re never wrong.
“When they go low, we go high,’” Schumer said.”
And then he added “We can chuck rocks from up there”.
They missed that “go high” boat a long time ago.

Convince yourself with that if you’re able, but you lie.
Might be dawning on some of them that many Democrats or at least some Democrats are not completely bat guano crazy. And they will need their votes too. No other reason he would say anything about what is going on. Votes to get the power and money, that is what it is all about with him and most of them for that matter.
The LEFT would have to look up to see low.
My sentiments exactly, and you expressed them perfectly. :-)
If this had been said by a Republican Congress person, Dems and Repubs would have demanded they step down from office.
Truth
All you have to do is go to the link and read the comments. The majority are by left-wing loons. These people are scary.
I watched his speech from the floor. I figured out the worst job in America. The totally distracted blond haired girl that always has to sit next to him so that he won’t look like he is alone has to have the worst job. She has to listen to his BS day in, and day out, and not laugh. (she probably is deaf).
He realizes that a bunch of videos of violent liberals attacking people in public will hurt the party in the upcoming elections.
Chuck schumer is a Democrat who would gladly see you stood at the edge of a freshly dug slit trench & the bastard would smileas you get shot in the back of head!
Don’t assume GOP is bright enough to use the Democrats violent incitement against them!
