Schumer: Trump Saying We Should Let Obamacare Collapse Is Saying ‘We’re Going to Hurt Innocent People’

During a press conference on Friday, Senate Minority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) criticized President Trump’s tweet about letting Obamacare collapse by saying such an attitude will hurt people.

Schumer said, “President Trump did a tweet last night and a tweet this morning. Not presidential. His tweet last night said we’re going to let the system collapse. We’re going to hurt innocent people because we’re angry we lost politically. That is small. That is not what a president does. And I hope our senate colleagues, our House colleagues on his side of the aisle will turn a deaf ear on that. … So, this idea of sabotage is a very bad thing. And Donald Trump doesn’t even get it politically. Because if he sabotages the system, it’s going to hurt him, as well as hurting millions of Americans.”
