Senator Chuck #Schumer just launched a mean-spirited and grossly unfair tirade against President Trump. He thinks he can get away with it because the MSM has his back and Republicans are too timid to call him out

1. The Washington Post exposed a fraud Monday, but some don't think it will make a difference. They are wrong. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
