Chuck Schumer: ‘America Cannot Afford a Twitter Presidency’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SCHUMMER: We would hold president-elect Trump accountable to the values that truly make America great. But will fight him tooth and nail when he appeals to the basehor instincts that diminish America and its greatness. Instincts have too often plagued this country and too often plagued his campaign. Our challenge is to entrench for mere tweeting. Making America great again requires more than 140 characters per issue. With all due respect, America cannot afford a Twitter presidency. Many Americans are afraid, Mr. President-elect, that instead of rolling up your sleeves and forcing serious policies, for you, Twitter suffices. I am not afraid of Donald Trump. I am not afraid of the Republicans. We are going to hold their feet to the fire. I am actually excited about this opportunity."
