Schumer, Pelosi Demand ‘Equal Airtime’ To Trump After TV Networks Opt To Air Trump’s Address

8:56 PM 01/07/2019 | Politics Mike Brest | Reporter



Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi released a statement Monday night in response to the news that television networks plan to televise President Donald Trump’s Oval Office speech Tuesday night.
“Now that the television networks have decided to air the president’s address, which if his past statements are any indication will be full of malice and misinformation, Democrats must immediately be given equal airtime,” their statement read in part.

The president has asked for $5.7 billion in funding for a wall along the U.S. southern border. But Democratic leaders have only offered a little more than $1 billion for “border security.”

There’s a possibility that Trump could use the opportunity to declare a state of emergency in order to build the wall.

They should just have AOC dancing while the background rolls clips of Trump saying Mexico will pay, his tweet that the border is already secure, and that he would be proud to own the shutdown.

Unprecendented for response after formal oval office speech. For Trump supporters, pray for him tonight. Pray for dems to end up turning on themselves. Pray for America to see Nancy and Chuckie are just as responsible for government employees suffering from shutdown as Trump is. PRAY FOR COMMON SENSE

Dems desperately want to turn this into a Bush "read my lips" moment. They would base 2020 campaign on how Trump lied to his supporters

PRAY FOR COMMON SENSE!!

This is great!

Let the American people see how obtuse and crooked and perverted and hypocritical and irrational and power hungry the Deceivocrats are on even reasonable and logical matters....

then....put Barr in the saddle, and let's start pulling the triggers on the sealed indictments.

Trump is an accomplished salesman.
That is all he is.
I do not think he even knows what Chess is.

As for Pelosi, please let her give the rebuttal.
She will likely miss a few pages of her speech and her speech will only be twice as long as Trumps.
I will not listen to either pieces of noise.
I will let people here give their opinions while they have their seizures.

It is nothing more than superstition to have a belief in authority.

It is nothing more than superstition to have a belief in authority.

and that, my dear, is why you pray for them!

What was that line in Fiddler On the Roof?

Student: "Rabbi, is there a special prayer for the czar?"

Rabbi: "Yes. It goes, 'Lord, protect and care for the czar and keep him far from us.'"

[Green Man]

Stephen Miller is purported to be the author of Trump's upcoming speech. Let's hope it's at least coherent.

Perhaps we could see if Pelosi could proof read it.

Perhaps we could see if Pelosi could proof read it.

No, that is out of the question. It has to be executed first to find out what is in it.....donchaknow?
