It's so nice to see schumer finally stand up to trump.

even though it's only because netanyahu ordered him to.

The title is completely different from what he's saying he's saying that deals should be public, not that they should not be made. What shitty propaganda title is this?

He is calling him TACO Trump for negotiating. Negotiations are never public.

BULLSHIT.

He's saying trumps toadies are negotiating in secret - probably trading away state secrets or billions to save face for Dear Leader (now that Daddy Putin has told him to fuck off) and Schumer wants it to be in front of congress.

He's not "shaming them for trying to reach a diplomatic solution" which is just bullshit.

Hate Schumer all you want, he's not my favorite, but this title does not match the content at all.

Never have I ever seen glasses so firmly dipped. Imagine the strongly-worded letter that comes from this.

this is one of those videos that democrat voters are going to conveniently ignore when it comes to the next election and they insist that you vote blue no matter who.

the worst ones will insist that you should vote democrat anyways because they're slightly worse than the republicans despite the highest ranking democrat atm literally advocating for world war 3 and a nuclear holocaust on a country that is literally defending itself from an unprovoked attack.

Have you watched the video or read the subtitles? Title is horribly wrong.

the title is right, this is nothing more than hasbara talking point; he's trying to use public pressure to prevent trump seeking an alternative to world war 3.
