Trump compares Schumer to the character of Snl ‘Liar’ on the remarks of the floods in Texas

President Donald Trump compared the head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., to the famous character of “Saturday Night Live” “Tommy Flanagan, the pathological liar.”

During a meeting of the cabinet during which the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Security Kristi Noem and other officials of the administration described the catastrophic floods who killed more than 100 people in Texas, Trump turned his attention to Schumer, who tried to blame the disaster on the leadership of the Republican President.

“I saw a Palestinian senator. His name is Schumer. He is a Palestinian. No, he is a Palestinian. He became a Palestinian. He abandoned the Jews,” said Trump about the most high-end Jewish official in the United States “but I saw him say, it’s Trump’s fault. ‘Yeah, yes, it’s right.’ ‘.

“He said:” Yeah, yes, it’s Trump’s fault. It’s true. It’s Trump “,” said Trump, laughing at Schumer. “I saw this stupid guy trying to blame me on me. And I said, guy is a difficult problem to take. But he is – his career is limited because I hear AOC beating him. And she is not aware either.”

Trump referred to the character of SNL in the late 1980s played by Jon Lovitz. Lovitz would play “Tommy Flanagan, the pathological liar”, a man who would repeat himself nervously like his lies on politics and other events have become more bizarre. With a contractions, the character would indicate increasingly absurd statements.

Schumer sent a letter to the Ministry of Commerce Monday, the Inspector General Duane Townsend on Monday, demanding an immediate investigation “on the scope, the extent and the ramifications of the question of whether the shortages of staff in the main stations of the local National Service (NWS) contributed to the catastrophic loss of life and goods during the deadly floods.”

The Texas Summer Camp evacuated 70 by remaining near the river before the floods: “ saw it coming ”

The DHS, on the other hand, defended the NWS response.

“The consumer media deliberately lie on events leading to catastrophic floods in Texas,” wrote the department on Sunday. “The National Weather Service has executed forecasts and warnings in a timely and precise manner, despite unprecedented precipitation crushing the region.”

During the meeting of Tuesday’s cabinet, Noem described the “horrible” “absolute” devastation that she visited in Texas and her experience as members of the comforting family of girls who were at the Mystic camp along the Guadalupe river.

“I am extremely grateful to the hand of God in all this situation because hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people have been saved, and it is a moment for all of us in this country to remind us that we were created to serve ourselves,” said Noem. “God has created us to take care of each other. And that when we do this, we are happier, we are more fulfilled, and we can walk alongside people on the worst day and help them go through and go out on the other side.”

She said that the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) “went immediately to an improved level”.

As soon as Trump signed the Declaration of major disasters, “we were able to get them resources and dollars immediately, just as you imagined through subsidies of state blocks to help them clean up,” she told the president. “And we are still there in the presence and FEMA has been deployed, and we cross the documents of the old FEMA rationalizing it, as is your vision of the way FEMA should work.”

“It was a much better answer to help these families cross this terrible situation,” said Noem.
