but don't feel good in doing it (because of some idiotic move they made) they blame the cancellation of the appearance on "security concerns." If they're so concerned about security, go home and let someone who has the guts to do the job we sent them there to do rightfully do it.

I'm insulted. Schumer not only voted with the Republicans on the CR... which to mean is a vote against the people... but he's now claiming he's scared to do his book tour because we democrats are unhappy. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
