Schumer: Trump is 'obstructionist in chief' [View all]

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is offering a new title for President Trump: "obstructionist in chief."

"The president is pointing fingers. He blames [Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell [R-Ky.] for obstruction. He blames the Democrats for obstruction. He's the obstructionist in chief because he can't stick to a position," Schumer told reporters during a pen-and-pad briefing on Wednesday.

Schumer's comments come as Trump announced his opposition for a deal, hatched by Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.), that would provide two years of health insurance cost-sharing reduction payments in exchange for giving states more flexibility on ObamaCare guidelines. Alexander and Murray are the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Health Committee.

Democrats have largely praised the deal but it faces an uphill battle in the GOP-controlled Congress, where conservative critics are wary of supporting a deal they view as propping up ObamaCare.

Trump appeared to take credit for the bipartisan negotiations during a press conference in the Rose Garden on Monday before coming out against the Alexander-Murray deal once it was announced.
