Steve King Challenges Chuck Schumer to 'Duel' Over Immigration

Rep. Steve King has challenged Sen. Chuck Schumer to a duel (of sorts) after Schumer accused him of being xenophobic for his hard-line approach to immigration reform and past controversial comments, Politico reported.

Earlier this month, Schumer, a New York Democrat, slammed Iowa Republican King, saying he was "spewing hatred" against illegal immigrants and leading fellow Republicans "over the cliff" on the issue, adding that Republicans will never have a chance of taking power from Democrats if they don't pass a controversial immigration reform bill this year.

"If we're going to have some kind of rhetoric bouncing back between the House and Senate, let's do it face to face, let's do it eye to eye," King, the Iowa Republican, said Thursday on the House floor. "Let's have that duel, not like Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, but I would be the one standing on the high ground."

There is no way in hell that Schumer packs the stones to rise to this challenge. This limp wristed pants wetter will successfully deflect this challenge.

If he were a man, he would accept, if.

Schumer’s response is exactly what I would have expected from a chicken sh*7.

“There is no way in hell that Schumer packs the stones to rise to this challenge. This limp wristed pants wetter will successfully deflect this challenge.”

Schmuck’s MO is bluster; if challenged, it’s to keep getting louder and louder, talking (or shouting) over any opponent.

Clearly Schmuck can’t win on ideas. Everything with him is leftist stock propaganda.

Saw the headline and I first thought of the horror author.
I would have paid to see that duel.

If Chuck Schumer were to ever get into a duel, he’d probably end up shooting himself in the foot, or the head.

Like all liberals, Chuckie is a loudmouthed bully. Along with everything that implies.

IMO, Schumer transcends the level of [liberal] scum, he’s genuinely evil.
