From the article:
"Needless to say, what Schumer envisioned as the Democratic equivalent of the 2013 shutdown is exactly what he has done in the 2018 shutdown. By his own definition, he has embraced the politics of idiocy, confrontation, and paralysis. Schumer goes on to say that Senate Democrats and President Obama said, “We’re not going to give in to this kind of brinksmanship, where basically a gun is put to your head…”"
Gotta love the absolute hypocrisy of this individual.
Someone else aptly labeled this as "Schumer's Shutdown."
I guess too that wielding a gun is perfectly ok - if you're the one wielding it.
