Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Tuesday said he'll ask President Trump to withdraw his request for $5 billion in border wall construction funds, and to instead use that money to battle gun violence and white-supremacist extremism following two deadly mass shootings this month.

Schumer's office said he will formally petition the president to put the funding toward gun violence research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Homeland Security counterviolent extremism programs, FBI domestic-terrorism investigations and other programs.

If you are white and love America, you’re a white nationalist and a threat.

This is an implicit admission that Trump HAS the authority to spend $5 billion on the wall TODAY.

Just in case anyone thought Schumer is sane, he wants to set them straight.

He is a total idiot.

I’m just wondering how Trump managed to keep a straight face when the schlub Schumer asked him to share his hard-won border fence money with the dummocraps for their frivolous made-up purposes. I’m sure it took masterful self-control not to just bellow out, “Get outta here!!!” at that idiot.

Nobody dares to say which group commits the most violent crime, including mass shootings. I am so tired of this! When does the little kid show up to say the emperor has no clothes?

Sure, all the shooting of blacks by black in the ghettos are the result of “white supremacy”.

Hopefully more and more people are getting fed up with all the BS and Crying Wolf the Left is spewing.

Trump and his support should continue to gain strength.

If you love America, you ARE a threat to Schmuck Schumer's communist totalitarian agenda.
