Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer viciously accused the Republican Party of intentionally destroying the United States’ healthcare system this week; saying the GOP was creating “premium increases” across the country.
Schumer slammed his Republican colleagues on social media Thursday, saying most Americans were seeing soaring prices after “months and months of republican sabotage.”
“After months and months of Republicans’ sabotage of our health care system, Georgia insurers say that sabotage has directly resulted in premium increases, adding if the Trump administration implements their #junkplans rule, they may have to raise them even more,” tweeted Schumer.

Schumer failed to mention the impending “Death Spiral” of Obamacare that brought about higher premiums and fewer companies taking part in the nation’s failing healthcare marketplace.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer railed against President Trump’s harsh rhetoric towards violent street gang MS-13 Wednesday; taking the President’s comments out of context and equating violent offenders to “our great grandparents.”

Here is the full clip of Trump's "animals" comments.

SCHUMER MELTDOWN: Chuck GOES NUCLEAR on Senate Floor as GOP Passes Tax Cuts
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer threw a public temper tantrum from the floor of the US Capitol on Tuesday night, scolding his GOP colleagues who were quietly speaking while the liberal legislator railed against the Republican tax legislation.
The lawmaker was desperately attempting to sway Senators from voting “yes” on the tax proposal, erroneously claiming that “millions” of middle class families would see a “tax hike” under the current bill.
Schumer paused mid-sentence before unloading on GOP Senators, calling for order as his colleagues quietly negotiated in the chamber.
“Nearly 145 million middle class families under $200k will either get tax hikes… Can we have order Mr. President?” raged Schumer.
“This is serious stuff! We believe you’re messing up America. You could pay attention for a couple of minutes,” he scolded his GOP colleagues.
