Pelosi, Schumer: Trump is holding government workers hostage over border wall

Jan. 08, 2019 - 4:52 - Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer deliver a rebuttal following President Trump's Oval Office address on border security.

 

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., triggered plenty of laughs on social media Tuesday night for their rebuttal to President Donald Trump’s address from the Oval Office.

During his address, Trump called the conflict at the southern border a “crisis of the heart and the crisis of the soul” and repeated his request for $5.7 billion for a steel barrier. Meanwhile, Pelosi and Schumer stood firm with their position that the government shutdown must end in order to continue talks about border funding.

However, folks on Twitter drew more attention to the serious tone of the Democrats’ remarks and had some fun at their expense.

Many compared Pelosi and Schumer to “disappointed” parents.
