Chuck Schumer Has Meltdown Over Trump “Takeover” Of DC Law Enforcement

Are Democrats really listening to themselves? Is this the hill to die on?

Schumer: ‘No f???ing way’ Dems will back Trump DC takeover extension

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) declared on Wednesday that Democrats will not go along with a potential request by President Trump to extend federal control of the Washington, D.C., police department and deployment of the National Guard in the District.

Trump can unilaterally control the department for up to 30 days, but any extension beyond that period is up to Congress, meaning it would require the support of Senate Democrats. Schumer made clear in an interview on Wednesday that wouldn’t happen.

“No f???ing way,” Schumer told host Aaron Parnas.

“We’ll fight him tooth and nail. … He needs to get Congress to approve it, and not only are we not going to approve it, but there are some Republicans who don’t like either.”

Let’s say there has been a nice little drop in crime in 3 weeks, will Democrats still be fighting this? Do they understand that 90% of DC residents voted for Kamala, and that if they said “we’re going to back Trump within reason. We want to reduce the crime in the District, it looks bad for our nation’s capitol to have the crime. We want our constituents to be safe walking the streets, in their cars, and in their homes” the Democrat voters wouldn’t give Trump the credit, but, Democrats.

Both Maryland senators on Wednesday also told Semafor that they will not support any further plan to federalize the MPD.

“What Donald Trump is doing is, in some ways, a dress rehearsal for going after others around the country. And I think we need to stop this — certainly by the end of the 30 days,” said Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.). “This should never have started, so I definitely want to make sure it doesn’t continue.”

“We want our streets to be lawless” is a hell of a pitch, eh?

How moonbat do you have to be to throw a sandwich at cops?
