Schumer: GOP police reform bill 'does not rise to the moment'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) on Wednesday panned a Republican police reform bill crafted by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), saying it falls short of what is needed to address police brutality and violence.

"We've only had the bill for a few hours and are reviewing it, but what's clear is that the Senate Republican proposal on policing does not rise to the moment," Schumer said.

His sharp criticism of the GOP bill, which Scott crafted with a working group of Senate Republican colleagues, casts doubt on whether the legislation can muster the 60 votes needed to begin debate on it next week.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Wednesday morning he will schedule a motion to proceed to police reform next week.

1. Can we replace Schumer with a Dem Senate Leader who knows how to bare knuckle fight?

You don’t wield such puffery against this sham of a bill from Republicans. We need a hard hitter who knows how to fight back against this crew of Republicans.
