Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) took to Twitter Saturday and accused President Trump of “stealing money” from military families as part of his administration’s effort to secure the U.S. southern border.
The Pentagon announced this week that it would divert $3.6 billion to fund the construction of 175 miles of border wall. The move will affect various projects in 23 states, including a $30 million project at Arizona’s Fort Huachuca, which Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) said was expected to be delayed anyway.
According to the Associated Press, $1.1 billion cuts will “strike the continental U.S.” and “$700 million would come from projects in U.S. territories, with another $1.8 billion coming from projects on overseas bases.”
Schumer accused Trump of “stealing from our military families,” adding, “It’s a slap in the face to the members of our armed forces”:

Since when did Chuck Schumer care about ‘military families’?
What the freep you talkin’ bout Chucky? You never want to fund the military.
According to the Associated Press, $1.1 billion cuts will “strike the continental U.S.”...
No bias in that statement :)
What is that, about 1/7th of 1 percent of what we spend on the military?
We should survive.
He cares that they have access to abortion facilities.
Other than that, not so much.
She looks like a character from The Flintstones.
What a douche.
Oh close your mouth hole, Carl Schaumberg!
Enemies foreign and DOMESTIC
Monies for the wall came from the MilCon budget, not personnel nor housing. Strawman argument there Chucky. Bad form.
And this is from a leftist traitor who has made a career out of abandoning and betraying our military personnel and institution.
Rot in Hell, Chucky, the sooner the better for America’s survival.
How bogus. Doesn’t anybody READ? This money comes from the 2019 fiscal year budget, which ends September 30...about three weeks from now.The next budget with MUCH MORE deficit spending kicks in on October 1. There will be plenty for the usual waste and kickbacks to cronies. Schumer is totally sleazy for misleading the uninformed and using the military so shamefully.
William Shatner “Star Trek Update”:
“SCHUMMMMERRRR”!
Since he could use them to bash Trump. Tomorrow he’ll forget about them again.
But Schmucky doesn’t mind billions being spent on illegal aliens and paid for by the American taxpayer. Just another example of how Democrats want nothing to do with a border wall.
Given that “”Suckie Chuckie” Schumer is a KNOWN GI-hater, BOTH a SELF-hating Jew & a ANTISEMITE, a LOUDMOUTH bigot & a “fool in the public view”, WHY would anyone of reasonably normal IQ believe ANY claim that he makes?
Personally, IF he claimed that it’s dark at midnight, I’d go luck to see if the Sun might have risen when we weren’t looking.

The military get nearly 700 billion this budget. Now is 3.8 billion going to affect any military spending?
Betty was kinda hot ...
When did Schumer care about anything but his own sorry butt?
Fred?
