Sen. Chuck Schumer said the firing of acting Attorney General Sally Yates was part of a 'Monday Night Massacre' enacted by President Trump. In an impromptu speech on the Senate floor Monday evening Schumer called Yates, who was fired by Trump, a "profile in courage."

SCHUMER: We've had a number, a large number of eloquent speeches about the president's executive order. And while they were going on, of course, we had a 'Monday Night Massacre.' Sally Yates, a person of great integrity, who follows the law, was fired by the president.

Hey Schumer. She refused to enforce the law - which she is sworn to do, so she deserved to be fired ( even though she would have been gone shortly after Sessions is sworn in anyway ). I guess it is shocking to you that we finally have an administration that will follow the law.

Oh yeah. Two more to described as “Diaper Democrats” that whine their way though life if they don’t get their way.

Move their chairs form the House and Senate and replace them with high chairs.

Sessions Conformation hearing is going on now. Oh the howls and screetchng .....

Remind me again, how did Chuckie the Clown vote on the listing those 7 Countries as terrorist aiding in 2011? Did Chuckie the clown call a press conference and cry when Obama barred Iraq refugees for 6 months?

Did ANY of these rats ONCE rail against ANY EX Order signed by Obama that was struck down as Unconstitutional by the USSC?

It’s all a big pony show. Unfortunately the ponies are actually Jackasses.

Schumer has Trump inside his decision cycle and it’s driving him crazy.

During the election cycle and the transition, I went to National Review to see what the NeverTrumpers thought.

I have to say that in the last week, they have been shockingly pro Trump, for the most part.

I don’t think they expected such swift, conservative action.

Schumer always was a whiny old man, Trump is running rings around him. Ole Chuckie is going to collapse from all his whining.

Here we are at the end of January and Schumer has already wrapped up the award for Douche of the Year and leads the pack for Asshat of the Year. I guess he wants the hat trick so I nominate Chuck U. for Steaming Pile of the Year, too.

People seemed to be divided on firing McArthur. I believe Truman was right.

Chuck has failed REPEATEDLY to do so, especially over the last 8 years. I’ll be trusting President Trump on this - not chuckie

Yates did not follow the law.

She ignored a legal order from the President.

I hope she loses her benefits and pension.

She should not be confirmed or given another federal job.

She has no integrity, as she should have resigned.

One person does not a massacre make, Chuck. Do yourself a favor and stop making a fool of yourself.

Perhaps it should be an aborted baby (crying) in the DP seal.
