Schumer: “Tantrums, not negotiations”, Schumer also exposed the changed video, which falsely portrayed him to make derogatory remarks about Democrats seeking immigrants support. “If you think your shutdown is a joke, just prove what we all know: You can’t negotiate,” Schumer posted on X. “You can just throw tantrums.” Democrats say GOP “Lie on Health Care” Jeffries later told Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC that the video is a ‘malignant distraction’ from Republican’s attempt to attack health care protection. “They’re lying about what we’re asking to do,” Jeffries said. ‘We have made it clear that federal law currently prohibits undocumented immigrants from receiving comprehensive healthcare paid by the Federal US Tax Dollars. No one asks to change the law. ‘ Instead, he argued, Democrats work to defend Americans’ healthcare “under relentless assault by Republicans during this year.” What the AI video showed the AI manipulated cut, which was posted on Monday night, Jeffries portrayed in silence under a superpondered sombrero as Mariachi Music played. Schumer, changed his voice, was made to say that Democrats had lost support from voters and that he had to give “illegal strangers free health care” to protect votes. Trump made a kill earlier on Monday, and Trump met with Jeffries and Schumer in the White House in a last attempt to avoid a government’s closure. Lawmakers described the conversation as “serious”, but said that no agreement was reached.
