U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer has an embarrassing moment on the Senate floor as he says “Mr. Madam President” and asks a staffer to help him get through his speech. The video clip of ‘the moment‘ has gone viral on the internet.
Schumer reading from the paper, “So now Mr. Madam Pres (umm) Madam President I ask consent to set the NDAA – No sorry Madam President…where am I?”
Also, Schumer in his speech on the Senate floor hits Republicans on $2,000 checks: “I don’t want to hear that we can’t afford it. I don’t want to hear that it would add too much to the deficit. Senate Republicans added nearly $2 trillion to the deficit to give corporations a massive tax cut.”
Senator Mitch McConnell objected to Chuck Schumer’s unanimous consent request to pass the House bill on direct payments for $2,000.
