White House fires back at Schumer's 'fake' deal after wall funding offer withdrawn



Chuck Schumer is scrambling to placate his wacky base. 
But, never offered a deal on the wall in the first place. 

Fox News reports the White House is firing back at Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer for offering, then rescinding, a “phony” and “bogus” deal to support border wall funding in return for an immigration package that protects illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. 

“He comes over here with a phony plan and a fake promise,” White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said Tuesday on Fox News’ “Outnumbered Overtime.” 

A Schumer aide confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday that the leader withdrew his offer of a boost in funding for the president’s proposed border wall. It was initially made during negotiations over the government spending bill with the president last Friday, the aide said. 

Schumer’s office says he pulled the wall offer on Sunday. 
But Gidley said they didn’t take the offer seriously, saying the Democrat offered less than one-tenth of what was needed to secure the border in his “bogus negotiation.” The administration wants $18 billion dollars for a border wall.

  1. lessee...some estimates put the cost of ILLEGAL immigrants at $120 billion PER YEAR.
    if the wall stops 10%, that would be a savings to the American public of $12 billion per year, and the wall would PAY FOR ITSELF in 18 MONTHS.
    what part of MATH 101 does schummer not understand???
