Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer slammed President Trump’s decision to halt immigration into the United States Tuesday; calling the move a “diversion” during the Coronavirus pandemic.

“I think it’s another diversion. The agencies don’t even know what it is. No one knows what it is. Yesterday we were talking about WHO. The President needs to stop these diversions,” said Schumer.

Schumer accused his Republican colleagues of “helping bigger businesses” on social media this week; saying Democrats are fighting for “nail salons and delis” during the Coronavirus outbreak.

“Senate Democrats are fighting for the nail salons, the barbershops, the delis. Why are Senator McConnell and Republicans only trying to help bigger businesses that already have connections to bigger banks?” posted Schumer on social media.

Failed presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren faced a growing backlash on social media Friday after urging President Trump to release $75 million in aid to Palestinians while Americans struggle to pay their bills.

“Providing $5M in aid to Palestinians is not enough. The Trump administration is still sitting on $75M in Congressionally directed aid while COVID-19 weakens already fragile health systems in the West Bank & Gaza. Last month I demanded this aid be released,” posted Warren on social media.
