Sen. Schumer: "No F***ing Way" Trump Getting Dem Support For Extending His 'Distraction'

___In an interview with “The Parnas Perspective,” Schumer said there was “no fucking way” Congress would grant Trump his wish.

“We’ll fight him tooth and nail,” Schumer said. “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 it either.”

Parnas: If he went to Congress and said, “You know what? There’s this crime emergency. We need the National Guard out there longer. We need to take over Washington, D.C.” Would you grant it?

Schumer: No fucking way.

“He’s afraid of Epstein. He’s afraid of all that,” Schumer said, adding that Democrats will continue pressing him on the issue.
