Schumer Responds To Trump On Crying: "I'm Not Going To Dignify That Kind Of Silliness"

Sen. Chuck Schumer responds to President Donald Trump's accusation that he cried "fake tears" for Syrian refugees banned from entering the U.S. for 120 days and those from some Muslim-majority countries that are banned from entering the U.S. for 90 days:





SCHUMER: I'm not going to dignify that kind of silliness. Let him roll up his sleeves and put out something that really does prevent terrorists rather than this. He ought to stick to the substance. Name-calling and things like that are what has led to these problems that we're saying. He doesn't take this presidency seriously enough, at least in this instance. And, you know, I have said all along, there are times he flatters me, there are times he calls names. That's not going to influence me. I'm going to do what I think is the right thing and that's what I'm doing here.
