Schumer: ‘The Only Question About the President’s State of the Union: How Often Will He Distort?’

(CNSNews.com) - Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D.-N.Y.) gave a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday morning, previewing President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address, and predicting that the president would “distort,” “mislead,” and “make some bold new promises” he has no intention to fulfill.

“Knowing this president, he will rely on distortions and made up facts, mislead the American people,” said Schumer.

“The only question about the president’s State of the Union: How often will he distort?” Schumer said. “How often will he make up facts? How often will he resort to fear and divisiveness?”

After he delivered this speech, Schumer sent out a Tweet that included a video of him delivering the speech. Above the video of himself, Schumer’s Tweet said: “President Trump will report tonight on the state of our union. The state of the Trump economy is failing America’s middle class. That state of the Trump healthcare system is failing American families. The state of the Trump administration is chaos.”

Here is the transcript from an excerpt of Schumer’s speech where he makes his predictions of what the president’s State of the Union will entail:

“But even on these four metrics, the economy, health care, governance, foreign policy, the State of our Union is in need of drastic repair. Still, knowing this president and his penchant for hyperbole he will probably say the State of our Union is stronger than it’s ever been before in our nation’s long history thanks to him.

"Knowing this president, he will rely on distortions and made up facts, mislead the American people. The only question about the president's State of the Union: How often will he distort? How often will he make up facts? How often will he resort to fear and divisiveness?

"And if past States of the Union are prologue, far too many times will he do that.

"Knowing this president, he will then make some bold new promises and not even make an attempt to fulfill them.

"The man has so little integrity that a promise he makes at the State of the Union means nothing the next morning.

What a schmuck! Schumer, the Democrat Senate Minority leader has not one ounce of integrity, in fact it's difficult to find a Dem with integrity now.

“Why Trump keeps being respectful towards these dirtbags mystifies me.”

That was my immediate thought.

The Trump economy is failing America’s middle class? With record job creation and record low unemployment among some groups such as blacks????

But then the liberals said this economic expansion started with Obama, so this is really Obama’s economy. But then is Schumer saying this leftover Obama economy is failing the middle class? I’m confused..........

Hopefully he will be less nice as time goes on ... especially if he’s treated during his speech like what goes on in Parliament (completely within the realm of possibility what with the emotional state of the Democrat/Left and their whacked-out base)!

Schmuckie, your mistake is that it is YOUR BRAIN which is distorted. It is twisted to be anti-American. The parts with the love for your country have been twisted so as to cut off the blood supply, killing the tissue. You only have the Party Over Country parts left intact. And those stink.

Shucker is going for a two'fer. Shaping public perception and provoking the right into committing "brown-shirt" reactions, or at least providing seeming substance to accusations of such by the Left.

He made these comments on the Senate floor. Have I missed such direct and inflammatory language directed at him by Trump from the Oval Office?

[[ With record job creation and record low unemployment among some groups such as blacks????]]

Hopefully Trump will say something like “ With record job creation and record low unemployment among some groups such as blacks, Crying Chuck says the economy is failing? Really? Crying Chuck has a very weird distorted view of success then! Apparently success to Crying Chuck means record high unemployment, like we had under obama”

I think every single politician, no matter what party, when they make an asinine statement like this, should be fired. All this does is play to Schumer’s base, and further divide, while revealing a closed mind with absolutely no intent to find common ground for the good of America.
