“Look, Donald Trump is a lawless, angry man.” Schumer said in response to a question about whether or not the U.S. is at constitutional risk. “He thinks he should be king. He thinks he should do whatever he wants, regardless of the law, and he thinks judges should just listen to him.”

Schumer said during an interview with "Meet the Press" that "democracy is at risk" following Trump’s attacks on the judiciary and calls to impeach a judge who ruled against him.

A defiant Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer vowed that he will not step down from his leadership role any time soon while strenuously defending his decision to vote against blocking a GOP bill to avert a partial government shutdown.
